Those people need to understand that if that were a desert tortoise they would be doing something illegal by "selling" it. It is against the law to sell desert tortoises. Thankfully, it is a sulcata, and a nice-looking one at that.

That was going to be my next question if it turned out to be a desert tortoise. I was pretty sure there was some laws regarding the selling of this species, and I certainly wouldn't want to do something illegal.

But I was already suspicious about which species it was, so I figured I would start there, then figure out the legality of it. I think I'll look into a rescue organization. I just happened to come across that ad and I couldn't resist.
