Nothing beats tortoises that are bred locally because they are usually healthier than imports. Imported tortoises may go through a lot of stress and are exposed to different kinds of bacteria, parasites or infectious diseases along the way. Most of them will be sold as captive-bred (CB) but may actually be coming from unethical sources, or worse, they may be poached illegally from their native country. It happens more than you think. Even with the correct care, some of them may already have problems way before you get them. Whereas with locally bred tortoises, there is a high chance that you will have a lifetime companion if the correct care is given.
Available CB Tortoises
Note that we have a DENR Wildlife Farm Permit (WFP) so we can keep, breed, and sell tortoises as well. Because of this WFP, we are able to provide a DENR-recognized OR (official receipt) to prove that the tortoise you purchase is legal. This will also enable you to register your tortoise in the DENR-NCR office at East Ave. Just bring the tortoise, the OR, and ID pictures.
