Not sure if my favorite part is "worth $3000.00" or "can be a vegetarian or you can feed bugs and fish"!!!

$3000? I'm rich!!!

Low maintenance?! Dang what am I doing wrong ... I spend so much time getting their diet right, their pen/hide clean, and getting them bathed and hydrated.
It is funny they only want to sell to someone who" knows how to care " for him when they have no clue themselves! All right Sullies BBQ salmon tonight!!

Funny and yet sad

Some people..... Ugh! -roll's eyes and shakes head-

 

[Pokeymeg]

OMG....the ignorance hurts my brain...

"If you want you can feed him bugs"?

I wonder what kind of fish live in the African Desert?

That's what I was wondering

Ah yes! The dreaded fishing sulcata!

 

[Floof]

Ah yes! The dreaded fishing sulcata!

I hear they're extremely dangerous animals, those Fishing Sulcatas.

One does have to wonder where in the world people come up with this stuff. Low maintenance? $3000?? Fish and bugs??? Hmm...

On a separate note, I now have a serious hankerin' for some salmon, and it's all BodaTort's fault. Mmmm... Salmon...

I emailed him and asked if he would be willing to send me photos of his exotic African fish-eating desert tortoise.

 

[BodaTort1]

Yeah ShellysMom!! We can always count on you to look into trying to improving these poor torts lives. You are awesome!!

And FLOOF I use to live in Alaska so you know I can make an amazing Salmon!! ;-)

 

[Floof]

Boda--LOL. I grew up on the coast of Washington. Same rules apply... Meaning, almost everyone in my family can cook a mean fish dish. (Not me--I can't cook!) I have a particularly soft spot for sturgeon and anything salmon. Hmm... I think I owe my grandma (and her mad cooking skills) a visit this week...

Shellysmom--Looking forward to seeing what kind of condition it's in! Hopefully if/when you touch on his tragic misinformation, he's actually remotely receptive.

OMG, I hate being away from here cause I almost miss the stupid damn things people put up for sale, or in this case, the way its all worded, just 100% wrong. I want a fishing sulcata! Bye bye Cooper, I got's me a fish'n sulcata to take fish'n wif me! And I wonder why Cooper is so high maintenance vs's a fish'n tortoise? Guess if its able to fish its able to feed and water its'self too, and clean up after its'self. What a great post this is, thanks for it! Got my giggle on for today!

FLOOF - I was born and raised in Seattle just recently moved to Texas from Whidbey Island... I am going to miss the fresh Pacific salmon ... I love Pacific Ocean pollution! Makes the salmon so yummy!

LOL! I was thinking about that when I posted. If all the hype is true, I'm probably suffering from some level of chronic mercury poisoning. Fairly certain almost every piece of seafood I've eaten in the last decade was caught somewhere off the coast of Washington. Even tuna sandwiches--Gram cans all her tuna at home, and the rest of us get all our tuna from her.
