This is a relatively local post to me. https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/pet/d/antioch-300-adult-male-russian-tortoise/7117693837.html
I am not desperate to get a Tortoise, but am open to the idea, and have seen/heard of a lot of people who are having to give them up due to the Covid Pendemic.
I stumbled on this post, and was going to write to say that if they absolutely did not find anyone who would take it before their move, that I would.
TL: DR The poster is asking $300 as a "rehoming fee" for a 6 year old Russian Tortoise due to an imminent move where they can not take him. In addition to the seeming high price for someone who has no other options, they mention they will sell the 18x18 enclosure! along with a bulb for $100.
How bad of a life/how unhealthy will a 6 year old Russian who has been kept in an 18x18 enclosure be? How good could his diet and other care been if that is what he kept him in.
