I bought 2 of these beautiful little marginated tortoises, a male and female. They came in healthy and beautiful. They’re very active little tortoises. I got them for my 10 yr old little boy and he loves them. So far, so good.
We love them. I definitely recommend tortoisetown when purchasing turtles and tortoises.
Them you guys!
