The picture looks like a sulcata. Sometimes people refer to sulcatas as desert tortoises - I guess because they come from Africa?

I have seen this add, he has dropped the price down and changed the wording. It used to say that this was a hard to find desert tortoise...:p

I think those are stock pictures. I remember seeing that exact picture with the flower somewhere on the net.

I pointed out. in an email, that it's a baby sulcata, and that he might be getting a visit from the authorities to verify/arrest him, for either selling a protected species OR fraudulent sales... :D

It always surprises me that some people will go out of their way to harass people with thinly veiled threats for no reason whatsoever. Then post their actions as if it's something to be proud about.
