Hey all,
Not sure if this is the right place to ask this but I'm not sure where else I can turn for opinions.
Last year, I purchased two baby Greeks from a highly-regarded breeder in my region. They are both doing fantasically and growing up nicely. I stayed in contact with the breeder to give him updates on them every once in a while, and he gives us updates on his breeding pairs and the clutches.
Today, I recieved a message from him asking if I'd be interested in any of his adult Torts after the easter holidays. He is retiring and wants to travel the world with his wife for a while. Of course, the first to pop into my mind was the mother who produced our two little yearlings, so I asked about her.
She is an ibera, estimated to be around 40-50 years old, but she is wild-caught so who knows. She has produced many clutches over the last 27 years according to the breeder, and is in very good health. I have seen photos of her before and she's a beauty. Rather large for a Greek at approximately 11", weighing 6.6kg. She has some very minor shell damage along her spinal scutes, almost as though the keratin has been scuffed away but it has been fully healed for a long time.
The breeder is looking to get £500 for her and stated that he would also give us an incubator if we happened to be interested. Being unfamiliar with sales, I don't know if this considered a good price. What do you guys think?
