He looks miserable. That price is too expensive! He also is small for 3 yrs old.

I would love to help this tortoise, but I really don't have the $300 (you are right BowandWalter) right now (read holiday and big family dinner shopping) or I would take him in a heartbeat...:tort:

I know, it's so sad. This ad has been running since this summer. Back in august I contacted the guy and sent him a care sheet as well as recommendation to come on here for proper care information. He didn't reply and obviously didn't improve his buddy's enclosure :-(

I also noticed him a while ago; at that time he wouldn't budge on price...he looks so small for his age; he really needs some tlc...and just about everything else by the looks of his pic

Yeah, he dropped the price by $50... My red foot is 3 1/2 years old and she's twice his size, at 6". I've been watching the ad and my heart sinks every time I see it still up :-(

Does he budge for just the tort?

He just might, his ad has been running for months. I'd love to get him, but without a job, it's kinda hard to justify the expense (I have 2 human daughters to support) and my bf is the voice of reason. Once I win my lawsuit though, watch out! Lol

I can't stand to see a beautiful creature like this suffer. He definitely is dehydrated, and possible even sick. At the very least, he's probably getting too much heat and not enough humidity in his enclosure. And if I'm not mistaken, that looks like dried out greens by this tortoise. Please, someone in Canada, do something to rescue him before he dies....

I'm about 20 min away from this person. I'm going to try and reason with them, I'll tell him straight out how unhealthy the tort looks!

He never returned my email. If someone reach out and strike a deal I'm willing to discuss helping.

Either of you interested in the tort only? And what are you willing to pay? I can make offers a little lower than what you want to pay. ;)

Well I paid $350 for mine and that's a healthy one. So I'm thinking $150 to $100.
