Greek on Sacramento Craigslist

[Laura]

From the ad:

I have a very attractive Greek Tortoise that needs a good home,preferably outside quarters or large tortoise table.I basically rescued him from a petco in Napa last december.He's eats darks greens with a gusto and I've incorporated the new zoomed grassland toroise diet into his feeding regimen.
I paid $69.00-discount price,therefore thats all I would need for an adoption fee.
Please only those with knowledge of toroises please reply,tortoise is a longterm investment and shouldn't be taken lightly!!

Wow thats a great price, hopefully he finds a good home. I have enough Greek males coming in soon here so I really dont need another male to try and find matching females for or I would just get you to pick it up and ship it to me Laura!

We just recently incorporated a CL forum on our Wireptiles.com website so that any of us who find reptile deals on CL and want to pass the listing on can. Maybe Josh should add a CL forum to the classifieds.

If the size is SCL than it's most likely a female. I haven't seen a middle eastern greek male that big yet. It's got a female shape to it.

OK I messaged Laura to see if she would be willing to pick it up and ship and I also messaged the owner for more pics, especially tail pics.

 

[Josh]

just fyi, i edited the title of this thread a bit and i added the ad's text to the thread so it's easier to find etc etc

Anja, if it's not spoke for, let me know what you find out. I'd be interested, male or female, if it could be shipped to AZ.

Will do Keith.

As of this eve.. Tues, 1035 pm pct..I have not heard back from the person who posted the ad. Tried twice. No phone number.
Has anyone had any luck?
I asked for more pictures also.

 

[JustAnja]

I got an email from him at 2:55 am this morning saying he would get me pics tomorrow? Not sure if he meant today or Thursday. Ill be anxiously waiting!

 

[Jentortmom]

He deleted his ad on craigslist.. just an fyi

 

[Laura]

He just sent pics... Ill try to get them posted...

 

[Laura]

Ok,, cant get it to work.. they are in an email.. if you want to see, let me know and I'll send to you.. or maybe he sent to someone else also who can get them to show...

 

[JustAnja]

I had to resize them Laura

 

[egyptiandan]

It's a female and most likely T. g. antakyensis.

Danny

 

[JustAnja]

I sent a msg telling him I wanted her. Now the hard part of getting her here.

 

[JustAnja]

Well its a moot point now, he emailed during the night and said someone 3 blocks from his home took it.

Josh this thread can probably be removed.

 

[cvalda]

Sheesh!

 

[CGKeith]

Anja, I'm sorry to hear that. We'll just have to keep looking for you.

 

[Laura]

Sorry. Anja.. I just read that email too.. :-(
At least you have a big box of cactus coming!
ok,, not the same...

 

[JustAnja]

I do greatly appreciate the cactus Laura and my torties will appreciate it even more! It would have been nice to luck out and find a female tortoise for a change! lol Tracy and I usually end up with all the boys. lol I guess I should just concentrate on finding suitable girlfriends for the Golden Greek boys coming from Danny and the Turkish Ibera boy coming from Chris.
