FAQ "...I live in Switzerland and am the owner of a radiated tortoise without official papers or proof of origin. I bought / inherited / received this animal as a gift / took it with me on vacation a long time ago. Today I know that this was unwise and a big, punishable mistake. Unfortunately, I now have to part with my tortoise for personal reasons. Can I apply to the authorities for papers for this animal afterwards?"

Attention: Radiated tortoises without valid documents are and remain illegal! It is not possible to apply for papers for these animals at a later date. An illegal status does not expire either. It is strictly forbidden to trade these animals or to make a border crossing with them. In case of violation there is the threat of confiscation and fines (an exception are ray turtles.),

FAQ "...Your explanations on the homepage gave the impression that you only sell animals to wealthy potential buyers who have luxury facilities for tortoises. For fear of criticism, we fear that we will not be able to purchase a tortoise from you with our simpler husbandry situation. Do species-appropriate enclosures for radiated tortoises always have to be associated with a high financial outlay?"

It is neither our intention nor in our interest to criticize or badmouth other husbandry situations. From our many years of work and experience with the keeping and breeding of Astrochelys radiata, we only point out to interested parties before the acquisition of absolutely necessary basic equipment and possible optimization potential to keep ray turtles healthy in the long term.

FAQ "...Do you also sell radiated tortoises to beginners?"

Yes, we also sell Radiated Tortoises to serious, informed and well-prepared beginners who already have a species-appropriate indoor and natural outdoor facility (garden) before the purchase. We are also available after the purchase for questions about keeping and breeding.
