And will grow to 28". Such a sickening lack of education. That MBD is as bad as I've seen it.

But do you think its a redfooted? Its hard to tell from the poor quality pictures.

All of the posted info is wrong. Hopefully the new owners will do some research.

It is. It closely resembles my female with MBD.

I contacted a friend that lives in that area and does rescue. Hopefully there is something he can do. I may send an email myself if I find the time.

You must have better eyes than I do, I could not make out much more than it was a tortoise, a flat one at that.

Long time no see all. I saw this on craigslist too and e-mailed the person (more or less correcting things).

They said "F*** you. My tortoise is very healthy. Email me again and I will file harassment charges."

Wish you could do something about this animal abuse.

I had also emailed them a while ago. I did not hear anything back. It has been on there some time now. I think it is off now. I clicked on your link and it said it had been removed. Hopefully someone got it.

It is gone now. But I think they still have it considering they said "MY tortoise is healthy". Obviously it isn't. I have their name and city, really contemplating doing something.

Yep. The ad is gone. I wonder how many people he heard from saying the same thing. Must have been a lot for him to react that way. The guilty are always the most indignant.
