HAHAHAHA they probably mean it's been sexed or if they mean DNA tested then I guess to prove it's really a sulcata? usually when they say DNA tested it's to test unknown torts in the wild maybe to find out exactly what species and they mentioned it was trained?! LOL they probably just mean tamed and easy hahaha

Well, there has been no DNA established for turtles and tortoises. So who knows what they're talking about.

As to the training...maybe the tortoise has been trained to dig a burrow half-way to China, or is trained to dig up the rose bush. It would be interesting to find out what they mean.

definitely,
not sure why he would even try this on his unknowing tortoise who obviously is not able to flip himself over, then he takes it to another level by taunting him with food...

That's so sad, why would you do that to the poor guy. Pets are for spoiling rotten, not teasing!
