I doubt if they are farmed

"I bet they're farmed -"

I very much dioubt that they are farmed- To make it worthwhile farming something it has to have a reasonable or fast growth rate and the growth rate of land chelonids is very slow. From my experience in east and south-east Asia these animals are collected from the wild - making them exceedingly rare. They were being imported from Vietnam last I was there.

I,ll try and check it out the farming thing and get back to you.
