C and C Tortoises

Most of us at C and C Tortoises have a diverse collection of reptiles but it was the love of tortoises that brought us together. We bring decades of herp experience and expertise in producing certain species.

Everyone at C and C has a young family and full-time career; our team is made up of two police officers, a CBSA officer and a real estate broker. Please be patient with email and Facebook messages if we don’t get back to you right away! Located in Toronto, Niagara, Vancouver and Vancouver Island, we keep our collections in our private homes and don’t have a facility for public viewing. We’re committed to providing the best care possible for our animals and ensuring our babies go to excellent homes.

Collectively, C and C has hundreds of tortoises including 7 species: radiated, Burmese star, Indian/Sri Lankan star, Egyptian, red foot/cherry head, leopard and Hermann’s. We produce all our own babies and ship Canada-wide with Air Canada Cargo, WestJet, Harbour Air and Reptile Express. Most of our breeding stock was raised from babies with many years of dedicated care and pampering and many of our breeders were legally imported in the 1970s prior to the CFIA ban on importing chelonians.

C and C Tortoises are supporters of The Turtle Survival Alliance, and The Turtle Conservancy. We believe in assurance colonies and conservation through captive breeding and are in regular contact with Environment Canada.

One thing we didn’t expect but are very grateful for are the great friendships made through the hobby. Our love of tortoises brought us together but now we’re all close friends.
