In addition to any fall 2017 prepaid preorders and/or deposits received, I'm now taking additional ones for spring/summer hatches of many of the Testudo species bred here. This ad is for western Hermann's tortoises only.
For Greek tortoises, follow this link: http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/showthread.php?t=647380
For all other Testudo Species We Breed: AD COMING SOON
Please keep in mind that many of them are only going to be available in very limited quantities due to rarity and/or popularity.
Please read this ad THOROUGHLY in order to understand everything.
Payments in full or deposits of half are required to reserve any animals. There is no longer a simple waiting list for these because of the volume of interested parties putting money up front.
Western Hermann's tortoises (Testudo hermanni hermanni)
Continental (mainland) Italian forms, $550-$650 each shipped: The most classic forms of this beautiful and endangered tortoise.
Tuscany, Calabria, Lucania, Umbria & Apulia (Gargano)- These are all very similar locales with no difference in genetics.These are richly colored tortoises (particularly Apulia/Gargano) that range from small to medium in adult size (4-5.5" for males and 5 to 7" for females). Specifics on each form can be read and viewed on my site HERE. CALABRIA & GARGANO SPOTS FILLING UP QUICKLY. NOT ACCEPTING ANYMORE PREPAID PREORDERS AT THIS TIME FOR UMBRIA.
Insular (island) Italian forms: Genetically and morphologically distinct from any mainland form of the western Hermann's. Description as a new subspecies is likely on the horizon.

**REGARDING STUDBOOK NUMBERS & UPDATES: Although we are still a ways off from launching the newest program which will be interactive, numbers will soon be assigned to those waiting on them. Please DO NOT email us concerning numbers. We are well aware of the requests and will get to them in the order they've been received. Yes, certain animals are being rejected to eliminate the chance of hybrids, lack of history and/or bloodline dilution.
This ad is for hatchlings only. We will not part with older animals, especially adults. Some of these animals are literally the only known of their kind in the USA today so price of course reflects this.
