Adults grow between 10 and 12 inches
This is the largest of the 4-species of European tortoises. It is an elongated tortoise (not to be confused with the Asian Elongated tortoise) that grows to about 10-inches for females and 12-inches for males. It has a more flattened shell than some of the tropical species and the rear marginal scutes flare out like an old German helmet. Hatchings and juveniles are beautifully marked tortoises that gradually turn black as old adults. This tortoise also goes dormant during the winter months but will show up wondering around the yard on a warm winter day.

SHIPPING AND PAYMENT
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
LIVE ARRIVAL AND SATISFACTION GUARANTEED
Live arrival is guaranteed on all shipments ONLY if I am notified within 24 hours of arrival. 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 can ship to many foreign countries. Shipping is expensive and costs are about $900 (CITES permits, inspections, health certificates, freight forwarding fees, etc) plus freight charges. You must obtain import documents from your country. I can obtain the CITES permits for Leopard tortoises and African spurred tortoises in one day but for other species it takes 3 to 4 months.
SHORT SUPPLY AND UNDER 4 INCH TURTLES
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.
