    they do but cant get them in for a while plus no offence at all intended but going to a specalist reptile shop sounds to me like it might be a better idea alright

    Reptile Haven on Fishamble Street, Dublin would be your best bet, specialist reptile shop, one of the oldest in the country as opposed to a pet shop that just decided to jump on the reptile bandwagon

    have to agree there with demonique, ben is the best in the country as far as im concerned, and has great stock,
    to many shops have just started to sell em without the staff to look after em

    Unless you have someone you can leave the tortoise to in your will perhaps you could consider an older tortoise there is, I believe, a reptile rescue in Ireland and they may or may not have older tortoises looking for homes.
