you probably dont want a snow leopard like his they are 1000+ dollars
But you can easily buy a leopard tortoise for under 200 BUTIFUL TORTOISES!!!
you can get them at alot of petstores, but here is a sight where you can buy some.

Good Luck![http://www.trutlesale.com][/Link]

reptilefreak-you spelled it wrong. I heard turtle sale was a horrible place to buy from. I was going to buy a res from them but decided not to after advice I got on here.
MrsFroggy-I have pics of my old cage but they are from about 10+ years ago and just regular pics-not digital. I used a bookcase on it’s back side as a cage-it was nice and big.

I heard that some people have got sick turtles and it took an act of God to get a new turtle, someone else ordered a tortoise and got a free res and did not know it was coming (they send free res with certain orders or you can put the word baby at the check out and get one for free), plus they breed turtles to have no eyes. I’ll have to find the posts from some people that talked about the way the turtles are hatched, etc. IDK-I have never ordered from them so I do not know first hand. I’ll see if I can find those posts. Glad the ones you got we ok. I have never ordered animals online and I am kinda weary of it to be honest with you-I like to see the animals in person first but that’s just me.

hiii, before anything no shavings! theyre bad.

Also, find out what tortoise you’d like and then research their care.
Any site that says wooden vivs and glass aquariums are good enclosures, DO NOT BELIEVE!
