"Bargain" Baby Tortoises

I just received these two 3 week old baby Venezuelan tortoises at a bargain price.
Because they have irregular scutes, they were $50 each. Perfect ones sell for $125.
I think they are still beautiful! These are for my wife.

Tortoises are venomous right?

I wondered who got them!!! I had seen them and was going to "sleep on it" and when I finally decided to go for them, they were gone! LOL!

Congrats! They are gorgeous!

I don't see anything wrong with them. Look like perfectly good torts to me and for the price I would say you stole them Smile

RE: "Bargain" Baby Tortoises

I think the extra scutes give them a uniqueness and of course makes the easier to identify who’s who.
Question ; Is there something that causes extra scutes or is it just a genetic misfire, and why do some people think its bad. It does no harm to the tort, it is strictly a visual thing is it not?

Patrick I think your new pairl are lovely. They look sweet and I'm sure your wife will be thrilled.
