Hi everyone. I'm having a bit of trouble using this site, perhaps because I'm being lazy and only using my phone. I bought my son a baby tortoise 2.5 years ago. We were scammed. She is beautiful and healthy and we live her, but she is a sulcata and we do not live in a climate that would give her a healthy outdoor roaming life once she is large. We are still trying to fix this. Dont know if the seller will take responsibility, or if we want to trust him to make sure she goes to a good and healthy home. I think I would rather find a home for her. Sigh, sorry for the rant in the intro. I love reading all the insights here, you guys are the best!

Hi, and welcome!

Why do you think the seller scammed you? Did they tell you the tortoise would stay small?

Hi and welcome,
If you post pics of your tort members can help confirm that you have a sully or not.
I'm useless at IDing anything that isn't the same as mine, especially as some of them look similar when they are young so it might help to have another opinion.
What did the seller tell you he was because different species have different care needs .

Welcome BC is that British Columbia? There was another post of a member who lived in Ontario. I know that's still a drive but I will let them know.
