Star tortoise in Atlanta

[HerpMS]

I saw this ad on Craigslist and thought I'd repost it here in case anyone is interested in this guy!

All that pyramiding and over grown beak, come on someone and step up to the plate…

I think the original ad was asking $1000, which is too rich for my blood. I did PM them on their Facebook page to see if that's still the case.

 

[HerpMS]

I sent them an email through Craigslist to see what they're asking too. $1000 seems a bit high with all that pyramiding and overgrown beak Hopefully someone can help out!

it could be a cross with a sri and indian, but yes the beak is a little overgrown

It's still available and he's asking $950, for anyone who might be interested.

 

[HerpMS]

They just sent me the same information. They were apparently hoping to breed them, but both of their tortoises turned out to be male.

 

[HerpMS]

I asked them about the pyramiding and they replied "It's a sri lankan star tortoise. Not an Indian."

 

[HerpMS]

I've emailed back and forth with them a few times, and wouldn't recommend that anyone try to do business with them. They were pretty rude in their messages and aren't willing to budge at all on their price.
