Ummm ya you can’t get a Galapagos... But you can get a Sulcata which gets very large... Sounds like you may need to do some research first.

The closest you can get is an aldabra and they start at about 2000.But you need a few acres of land for a tort that large..If your wanting a large tort then get a sulcata they can get big but you still need alot of room to keep a happy tort.at leaste a half acre for an adult

agreed. aldabras are the closest thing. they get almost as big and start at around 2k. but need a ton of space.

But before you decide you want a Large tortoise, check out this link... SULCATA CHALLENGE
as part of your research...
large tortoises, espec. Sulcata can cause ALOT of damage
so please make sure you can provide a life long home for a big beautiful creature before getting one on a whim
Good Luck, Jackie:)
