Yea that tortoise is probably 10 not 80. It looks like he is just out to make a quick buck. I hope whoever he escaped from sees him on craiglist.

He must of figured about a year a pound. I bet he's at least getting bashed on CL for not trying to find the owners, those guys don't let anything get past them.

i bet he counted the rings to guess his age!
how can people legally sell something they found? one week to try to find the owners? how generous..
and cash offers... neat guy.

I love his assumption that it came from the zoo. If only he knew about the "zoos" people on here have in their backyards...

Plus, if it escaped from the zoo then...WHY NOT CALL THE ZOO FIRST??? :p

I sent him an email admonishing him for not trying to find the tortoise's owners.

I received this email from the craig's list poster:

"hello yvonne,
How did you get my email? I had that set to private. Anyway, the owners claimed it was about 40 years old, but hey you're the tortoise expert. They came to my door asking for him and gladly returned it. Thank you for your concern.

-chris"

I don't know how, but the owners of the tortoise found out who had the tortoise and went to his house and got it back!! Yippee!

Well, after all, I AM the expert. (big grin) And I don't think he's 40 either.

I'm actually surprised this turned out well. Good to hear.
