It’s much more expensive to buy one from a “breeder” and pay for the spay/neuter yourself, all the shots, etc. The shots are taken care of at the shelter.

However, many reptile breeders have such large facilities they have to hire people (in the dog/cat world this would be called a puppy/kitten mill) just to get work done. They’re kept in pretty small tanks, some even without hides. Can someone please explain this?

WHen we put down purebreds it was usually becuase they were nuts, had been injured or something odd, 90 % of all pet requests were for “purebred” animals so any healthy purebred was easily adopted out.

Some dogs were not necessarily purebreds but certainly looked like it…

Anyhow if you want to blame anyone – blame the BACK YARD BREEDERS – people who just have a “cute” dog or cat and let it breed… Your facts are incorrect.

I’ve looked for them online at multiple websites, and I can’t find any turtle breeders. But there definitely has to be at least ONE in this whole entire state. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Or maybe to a turtle rescue or something?
