Thank you for the tip. I wasn't aware that tortoise 'flipping' was a thing, but now that I think about it, I can see it. I certainly plan to assess if the person has ever had one, or experience with them so she goes to a good home.
I will be vigilant for tortoise flippers too.
I have a Sulcatta tortoise that will be 4 years old in September. I think 'she' is a female. I'm looking to rehome her, have someone adopt her, etc. I live in south east lower Michigan. I will include pics soon and will gladly answer any questions you have.
