I've seen some at the Petco in my area. I didn't notice the price, just the terrible living quarters.

I haven't ever saw a pancake tortoise in one of those stores.

Just remember, Black Friday 50% off reptile sales.

Good point Ken, at $150, if they don't appear to be living dead, that might be a good buy. At $299, if they are great 'doers' it's an OK buy. I'd rather support a tortoise dealer (WC or CB) though over a PetCo.

I wonder if this is from a new importation, or an older shipment sitting around for awhile and being cleared out through PetCo. If PetCo is doing this direct, or having it down for their stores, wow, there will be a flood of them.

I've only seen Russians, Greeks, and Redfoots in PetCo's before.

I bought my male pancake from petco a year ago and it was a great deal :p for half off you can't beat the deal. I just dewormed him when i got him as he had some parasites, but you will see that even in the russians.

The pancake's are a good deal, but make sure you check their stool. If they show signs of worms take it back to have them deworm it.

Yeahp use the 15day guarantee and they will send it to the vet to have it dewormed.....then use that dosage prescribed and buy your own panacur and continue giving it him till you see no more parasites.
