Hey Sulcata Owners,
Could you look at this ad and tell me how much a Sulcata like this is worth?

Looks to be dehydrated and have some pyramiding, clearly on the wrong substrate, fed a poor diet, and in an unsuitable enclosure. If some of you recall, these are the same people a month ago who posted it as a Secada Tortoise. It seems they've learned a bit since then, but this guy/gal is not in the best shape. I'm considering picking it up, but don't want to overpay or invest in a sickly tortoise.
In addition, how much longer do you think a tort this size could remain in a closed chamber setup? Not sure what my outdoor setup capabilities will be in the next year or two.
Thanks.
