"I've spoken with some folks about this and another leo. To me it is still too small. I'll post this little one again when it's bigger. In the mean time if you have husbandry questions, I'd be happy to send a PDF by email written by a fellow chelonophile who participates in an online tortoise forum."
This was a Facebook post regarding this leopard. It is not permitted to advertise animals for sale on FACEBOOK, unlike here on TFO. So to invite email correspondence I suggested I would send one of @Tom 's care sheets. You see, if you might actually buy this tortoise, we will need to exchange emails, as that is part of the label requirements for a FedEx shipment. To weed out all the A$$hats that just use the internet for tortoise image porn, I now insist, that you communicate by email - the last vestige of effort that seems to break out those with a serious interest from those who can't keep their fingers still while on their smartphone screen.
"To me it is too small" - for sale right now. I'd like to get them bigger/better started and able to endure the rigors of FedEx travels.
"I've spoken with some folks" would indicate an ongoing conversation, like we spoke about this before.
I am putting @Tom 's two care sheets at Kapidolo Farms web page. I know it's much to read, but if you can't be bothered to read that much, you reveal yourself as one of those people who don't know what "I've done my research" really means. It's a bit more text than the back of a cereal box, but not like the King James version either. I'm actually going to raise my price, then discount it back down if you can answer at least one question from @Tom 's care sheet. I know, that makes me a bit of an A$$hat, LOL.
This one little tortoise is already sold ten times by interest. I don't take deposits, I'm not a bank. If you are not responsible enough to manage the $ to buy the tortoise, I'm thinking it will end up in a cardboard box near a window 'to get sun', so that and the banking issue. No deposits or pay aheads. What if it does not grow or poop consistently, or maybe even dies - not a good pet.
FedEx ship center pick-up only, again, if you can't be bothered to drive to a FedEx ship center... I know some of you folks live pretty remotely, but it's one drive one time. There are many ways to get it sorted out. If you're that remote that also means delivery may be as late as 4:00pm, even for next day priority, had you driven that distance the tortoise would have been in your car for that hour, not about 12 hours in the back of the FedEx truck, you do care about its little life start - right?
Oh my god, will Will shut-up?
$250, if you can answer the @Tom care sheet question then $210 shipped. "Shipped' means including shipping, okay. I'll post this one again when I think it is big enough to sell.
