Two little guys need a new home bad!

[Saleama]

Just came across this ad in the dallas craigslist. These little guys are in Burleson and need a new home. Look at the deformities on the Sully. What on earth could cause that? I don't know that this person is not taking good care of them, but I do know they need to go to someone who will. I don't have the money or room to get them or I would drive down there tonight!

Aside from the fact they're being kept too dry, the shell deformities he's talking about are purely cosmetic. Irregular scutes are prized by some keepers, Jacqui and I included.

Sounds like its a birth deformity the way it's worded. I say something attacked it or fell on it and crushed the shell in. Anyway, I sent them an email about them being housed together and the sully bullying the leopard if it has t started already and they should be sold separately if an offer is made.

You know, Jeff is delivering to Fort Worth...

I really would that is such a horrible situation for them but can't drive and don't have anywhere near that amount of money.

I live in burleson. I could pick them up and keep them for someone until someone else can get them just not in a financial spot to by all supplies for even more torts

I'd help, and I'd pay for shipping on the Leopard to me. I have homes lined up here in Oregon.
Or I can give you a donation to help

I honestly am really into redfoots. I only have 1 sulcata and no leopards I could get them tomorrow and send them to you for the cost of shipping and torts

You are all a great bunch of people!
Just had to say that!

I've made a deal with them and will be picking them up on Sunday. My wife and I are excited!

 

[Sulcata_Sandy]

Fantastic! I've been worried about them all evening.

Glad this got solved. My hubby will be glad to hear I am not spending more money to buy tortoises for him to get Sunday. That little sulcata did look neat.

Awesome!!!!!!! I'm so happy!

I just got contacted thru my website that a lady in CO needs to rehome her Russian and her RF ASAP. I asked if she's willing to ship....waiting for reply.

Great Thanks. Ive been following Tom's post for awhile now. I already have a one sulcata.

Ok here are some pics. Im naming the Leopard Cheeto and we havent decided on a name for the Sulcata. The leopard has is about 10 months old and she only had the sulcata for about 4 months. It was given to her. She was told the Sulcata was 4 years old.

The leopard is pretty out going and not afraid. The sulcata is timid and seems pretty stressed. Both are eating well though. They have definetly been kept to dry. Pyramiding has begun on the leopard and you can see it bad on the sulcata. Im hoping the sulcata will calm down in a few days. he/she is pacing and constantly trying to get out.. The leopard is active but not really pacing like the sulcata.

If the sulcata is really 4 then he is way under sized.. I dont know how fast leopards typically grow but if its the same as sulcata's then its way under sized as well. My 5 month old sulcata is twice the size as the leopard.

Fantastic! I am so glad I posted this now. I really wish I could have gotten these guys but I just took on four new baby three toed boxies and just don't have the space. Keep us posted on how they do please.
