The elongated tortoise is a medium sized tortoise that rarely grows more than 3 pounds. They have a brown or yellow shell and are longer than they are wide (hence the name elongated tortoise). They come from the forests of Southeast Asia and are similar in care to a red-foot tortoise but don’t grow quite as large. They are a personable tortoise and a nice animal for any tortoise collection.

Currently I ship ALL turtles and tortoises by UPS Overnight Air or DHL Overnight air. Shipping and handling is about $50. Telephone for shipping cost of large orders.
Payment must be received prior to shipping and can be made by money order, Official Bank Check, money orders, and we accept VISA, MASTER CARD, and PAYPAL

If you are not satisfied with your animal for any reason, and I am contacted within SEVEN DAYS of receipt of you shipment your money will be refunded with the return of you order. If after seven days you are dissatisfied please contact me and I will make every effort to correct any problem.
FOREIGN SHIPMENTS
I regularly make foreign shipments. Shipping costs are $500 to $600 per order and include CITES permit, inspections, heath certificates, freight forwarding fees, etc. You must obtain import documents from your country. CITES permit usually takes 90 days to obtain.

Some animals, color morphs, or sizes are not always available. Please phone before placing your order. Turtles and tortoises under 4 inches are sold for scientific or educational purpose, or are for export. I will supply a notarized certificate required for CITES permits for animals you wish to export.
Important:
All of my turtles and tortoises are sold for the explicit purpose of enhancing the public's awareness, edification, and education of these wonderful creatures. I further reserve the right to collect data, relating to each turtle or tortoise that has been sold (from the original purchaser), for the purpose of gaining a better understanding of turtle and tortoise care, captive reproduction, longevity, etc. This information may be used in future publications, updating care sheets, articles, etc. When possible credit will be given to the individual contributor but no monetary compensation will be paid for any information that is used or published.
All leopard tortoises and African spurred tortoises require a HEALTH CERTIFICATE to ship out of Arizona. Currently all my prices include the cost of this CERTIFICATE.
