You can't sell desert tortoises. That is illegal. And 13 inches sounds pretty big for a DT. Is it a sulcata? Post a pic?

Yep that is a DT. 13" is huge for any age, but surprising for a 7 year old.

This whole genus is protected and its a Federal Offense to sell them. Totally fine to give it away, and the new caretaker can easily get a new permit for it.

You got an extra $10,000 or $15,000 to spare? That's what the Department of Fish and Wildlife will fine you for selling baby desert tortoises.
