Tortoise and snakes prices (preferable in devon if not, dont worry)?

Question

Where can i buy a tortoise or a snake in devon/paignton/torquay etc. If you dont live in the region than can i have an average price of each and how much the enclosure/habitat will be :D thanx :D

Answer 1

I am from Torquay, there are a few shops around.

There is aquator in barton, south west reptiles and two by two in plymouth.

There are a few breeders around also, i will find them out for you later.

Answer 2

Tortoise prices vary a lot. But i think its really important that you seek out a breeder of tortoises by either contacting the tortoise trust or looking at the shelled warriors website.

Tortoises found in petshops are rarely ever captive bred in this country and are of poor quality, often with parasites and possibly chelonian herpes, which is the tortoise equivalant of HIV/AIDS. Also check out the tortoise trust caresheets as they have the best info on keeping numerous species and is far more reliable than petshops. I'm afraid i don't know much on snakes though.  

Answer 3

My friend came back from Devon with a tortoise from a tortoise sanctuary, she paid £500 for it, i don't no were about in devon it is though sorry but i thought the price may help you out. she set up a hutch and a run ( like what rabbits have) for about £100. This was last summer so there may be a slight price increase, and the tortoise is still doing well!!! (it goes in a tank too when its cold).
