I'd be surprised if this topic hasn't already been gone over a few times, but even so, it seems like we could mention it again:
Most every post that any member places that is looking for an honest, good, new home for their tortoise, if the word "FREE" appears, immediately one or even several "members" that have never been seen before swoop in to try to obtain this tortoise or turtle. Most of these brand new members have never even posted before and of the ones that have, most of them have only a few posts and they were also in response to free ads. Just about all have never contributed to the forum in any other way and this happens almost each and every time such a posting comes up.
I'm not saying that these mystery members couldn't potentially be great people, just that the chances that they are up to either re selling for a profit or making an impulse decision and willing to give your little friend a horrible home is great.
If you must find a new home for your animal, please use caution.
