That's about the average price for babies.

Hello and welcome to the forum!

I got Bowser when he was a week old from a breeder. I paid $30 for him. A friend of mine knew the breeder so I think that's why I paid a cheaper price.

Oh, and you might want to change the substrate that your torts are on. Just a heads up ;)

I can't wait to see more pics of the little cuties!

50 dollars is typical for a baby sulcata. How are you currently keeping them? I see in the pic that they are on rabbit pellets which arent good for any type of tortoise. Welcome to the forum!!!

Welcome!
$50 is a good price! That's the average price from breeders. Pet stores tend to overprice them over $100.
I would also recommend that you change the substrate!

Got mine for $250 at 5 months old. I'd say that's a good price. I may have over paid but my baby was worth every dime.
