Yeah, I found that yesterday and posted it here...post got moved to the Selling section, I suppose in case anyone might buy such a thing.

Strange, huh? :rolleyes:

Wow! I hope its genetic defect not a surgery.

The ad seems to imply that it's genetic, and possibly an intentional breeding, too...or am I misreading it?

I can't believe someone would make that out to be a good thing. I hope no one will purposely breed a blind tort, that's Horrible!

I was secretly hoping that someone had just discovered a brand new species of eyeless cave tortoise... oh well.

So maybe I missed something, but the ad said they all have their sight. How with no eyes?

They were only selling the siblings to the blind one and they all have there sight. That's the way I understood it.

Hey guys, I am actually good friends with the guy that hatched them. They were all a fluke, and not intended to happen. They are all eating well, and get along just fine. Apparently they are going to be photographed to be in Ripley's Believe it or not. I'll fill you guys in on when the issue comes out.
