Arizona, especially Phoenix, seems to be completely saturated with sulcatas. Maybe the seller is having trouble getting rid of them in AZ, so is posting ads in other states??? Especially if they are babies... It seems like there are 100 baby sullies for sale on Phoenix CL right now.

But Nebraska with winter coming on and not small hatchlings to folks who have no idea what they are getting into?

hmmm just looked does not say how old they are, so maybe they are hatchlings. For some reason (prob because of all those older sulcata ads in AZ) I mentally made them older.

... and no. I do have the room and I would take rescue animals, but not buying these from him or her or it.

That's very strange. I'll bet he put up ads in more than Omaha's area too. Like was said before, he probably couldn't find takers in AZ.

I'm sure he came sell them here in as. Or he got in trouble for the shape they were in. Very common.

Why would he do it... IMHO... a combination of greed and stupidity. Hate seeing people who obviously don't have the animal best interest in mind when making more and more of them... sigh
