Portsmouth Tortoises

The purpose of this site is to share our interest in tortoises, to educate and inspire.

Based on the south coast of the UK, we have been involved with and kept tortoises for over 30 years. Despite having decades of experience and knowledge, we still learn about these amazing animals every day. From the tiniest Padloper hatchling to the Largest Galapagos adult, they all have something to offer, whether you are visiting zoo’s and sanctuaries or keeping them yourself.

Please browse through our site to see some of our breeding projects and find information that we feel may be useful to existing and future keepers/enthusiasts. Please note that this information is based on our opinions and experiences and is not aimed to offend. There are many ways to successfully keep healthy tortoises and we are always open to tweaking our methods to better provide for them.
