For 15yrs old so under weight and shell is bad. Looks like to me someone got it for free and trying to make $ 800 bucks come on.

That just goes to show how ignorant of tortoise-keeping procedures well-meaning people can be. This person says they really love their tortoise and treated him like a king.

 

[dmarcus]

It was not treated like a king and for sure not worth $800.

Its 1hr away if it was less $ id get him and find him a good home 800 bucks is nuts tho yes i agree with both of you.

Sad but that's how many probably look from 15 years ago. I emailed them to let them know there is new info now and that maybe they could get him started on a better plan then what they were told. It won't help the tort's appearance much now, but maybe a better diet will come into play, as I am sure that's not so good either.

If they looked at the wiki link they included, they would see theirs looks nothing like it should.. It should be pointed out to them.. and also the price should be pointed out to them.. thats even high for a female and rescues are full of males for free... healthy ones.. not ones with MBD...
ugh
