Sold for 10 gold by the dragon turtle breeder at the pandaren camp in each capital: Old Whitenose in Stormwind, Turtlemaster Odai in Orgrimmar. A pandaren buys it outright; a character of any other race has to be Exalted with the Tushui Pandaren (Alliance) or the Huojin Pandaren (Horde) first.

Notes and sources
The reputation takes no time on a pandaren or on a character that is already Exalted, and the one standing opens all twelve dragon turtles these two sell (six at 1 gold, six Great ones at 10).
The journal and the mount's own wiki page leave the reputation out. The wiki's page for Old Whitenose states it: only pandaren can buy from him by default, and other characters must be Exalted with the Tushui Pandaren. Odai's page only quotes what he says to a non-pandaren who is not yet Exalted, that the turtles are reserved for the pandaren's most trusted allies. It was not confirmed in the game.
Tabards: the wiki's page for Old Whitenose says the Tushui Tabard moved from him to Adherent Hanjun in patch 5.2.0, and its page for Disciple Jusi, the Huojin quartermaster in the Valley of Honor (68, 40), lists the Huojin Tabard at 10 silver. The Great Brown Dragon Turtle's notes name the two breeders as the sellers instead. The 10 silver for the Tushui Tabard is from the Brown Dragon Turtle's notes, not read again.
The coordinates are those of the other dragon turtles, so that the turtles count as one stop: the wiki puts Old Whitenose at 67.7, 18.5 and gives none for Odai, whose point is Wowhead's as read for the Brown Dragon Turtle; neither was read again from Wowhead.
The item asks for level 17 and Apprentice Riding since patch 9.0.1 (wiki). The journal lists two items for the mount, 87802 and 91011; only the first was looked at.
Confidence in this entry: medium. Looked up in 2026.
