This was one of the last of the '08's.. 4 1/2" SCL.. $150 plus UPS next day noon.



Think of it this way.. You buy a redfoot from a petstore, etc. And the first thing you do is take it to the Vet. because you have some kind of health issues! Extra expense and stress on you and your redfoot!

OR you pay a little more for mine up front.. [ less than going to the Vet., etc. ] they are started right and you will never have Vet. expenses or hassles of any kind with any of my redfoots.. providing you follow my care guides - make sense?

Details.. and all available.. http://www.turtletary.com/current.htm

All three are healthy with no problems.
1-Yearling
2-Almost 1 year old
3-About 7/8 months old

ps. Tort 1 & 2 are from the same clutch. Tort 3 is completely unrelated.

Here are some pictures...











Also included with them is a 2' x 4' wooden enclosure w/about 12" high sides. The enclosure is lined with pond liner to protect the wood. A lid (acrylic with wood trim) is also included and fits over 3/4 of the enclosure to help maintain humidity but allow air flow. I also have 3 clamp lamp fixtures(Although I only used 2). A large log hide, a ramp water bowl, 2 large flat feeding rocks, a brand new compressed bag of sphagnum moss, a brick of dirt, and some cypress mulch bedding are available for free with the torts if you want as well. Theres a few other little things as well like a bag of TNT toroise nutrition, etc...

I'm asking $300 for everything. I paid A LOT more for everything originally.

I'm located in Chicago, IL and would really prefer pick up. Feel free to ask questions. PM me please.

More pictures available upon request.]]>

Below is the posting. I would be definately interested if they are infact good for tortoises (doesn't hurt to double check first!).

I know the Mazuri is good for them, but are the other plants safe too? If so, would any of them be safe for Sulcatas (and Russians) as well?

I am selling seeds for plants that are natively found in the same areas as the california desert tortoise. they are very good for your tortoise to eat. much much better than romaine lettuce, and I know a lot of people are feeding their tortoises that horrible stuff.

here is a mix of 6 different native plants. they are real easy to grow.

Eriogonum fasciculatum, (California Buckwheat)
Sphaeralcea ambigua, (Apricot Mallow)
Salvia columbariae, (Chia)
Lasthenia californica, (Goldfields)
Nassella cernua, (Nodding Needlegrass)
Castilleja exserta, (Ornate Owl's Clover)

1 packet for $2.50, free shipping or I can meet you locally.

I also have cactus, cactus fruit, and mazuri food. everything you need to keep your tortoises healthy and happy!

Err, nevermind. Haha! I just saw that one of the members of these boards is the person selling these!

Hope you aren't too upset that I am one of those evil-exploit-monkeys-for-profit-people. He does have a large indoor/outdoor cage, if that makes it any better.
