So.. I ordered a leopard tortoise since the sick one I had eventually went.. and first the guy was like he was going out of town etc etc and ship next week and such and gave me another leopard at 50% off .. well that was nice so I went for that. What I received was.... 15 Sulcatta's !!! O M G what am I suppose to do with these?! I don't have the time or resource for these buggers.... they are pretty darn awesome though... ah well lets see what he wants to do to resolve this problem. What I am concerned with is what happened to the two leopards I picked out... probably went to the guys home that was expecting 15 sulcattas =(

Just took a photo since.. well yeah..

I already sent him an email.... I was all like YAY its here! Started to open the box and then I am like hm these don't look anything like what I picked out..... ok well lets keep going... 1.... 2...4...6.. WHOA what is going on! Ok well I was certainly not ready for this! On the bright side, I've always wanted to see a sulcatta in person.... this was not what I had in mind however :p

OMG!!!! What a shock you must've had when you saw 15 little tortoises in the box! Imagine how mad the guy who ordered them is upon receiving only two!

Be sure to let us know what happens.

(So sorry you weren't able to save the sick one. That sucks!)

Anyhow... that got sorted out fairly quick. So the guy is gonna send me a shipping label and I will send these to the proper owners and he will send me the torts I got!! Whew ;(.
But yeah.. the little sick one I got from the first day was all weird and well sick and it went back up and then down and then up and then down.. and finally gave up :\ Ah well... I did what I was able to. Tomorrow.. round 2.. hopefully my torts arrive ok.

:D That must have been a shocker. :D How cute they all would have been tho. Just glad that hopefully soon everything will be the way it was suppose to be. So did your Leopards get sent to the other person?

That's good. Sounds like they took the added stress of double shipping well. But ahhh where are the pictures for us to drool over?? :D

Did you give them all a nice soak before reshipping. I feel bad for these little guys.

I think in this case I would have to initiate CFR 7.442.163 which clearly states, and I quote, "Finders Keepers Losers Weepers". :D
