A note maybe, but no reason for it to be a nasty one.

Sorry I had to laugh at the ad, bad spelling, but the "dirt" turtles def look like they need better care.

I sent a nice email....simply something like, you have two nice looking Sulcata Tortoise, then made simply suggestion that they may get a better add reply if they modify their add title to "2 Sulcata Tortoise" for sale, then sent them good wishes on finding their tortoise a new home :D

That was it.

I sent a note telling them they were Sulcata tortoises, NOT dirt turtles and that they were badly pyramided and they didn't look very healthy and that they certainly weren't worth $500...
I did ask them to explain to me what dirt turtles were...

How did they even manage to find out the Tortoises were males?
