WTA: Leopard Tortoise

[Kip]

Looking to adopt a leopard tortoise. Not interested in a hatchling. I have the outdoor enclosure build and have a large area built inside my heated building so he has a warm home in cold weather.
I have sulcatas I have adopted years ago, but would like to add a Leopard Tortoise as well. Thank you!

Hello and a Welcome. I take it the leopard will not be housed with the sulcata, correct?
Not likely you will find a leopard for adoption, but for sale. Are you willing to purchase?
Stick around, join in, and let us get too know you. Most members won't sell to someone we know nothing about.

Hello and welcome

Some things to read if you haven’t already

They're written by species experts working hard to correct the outdated information widely available on the internet and from pet stores and, sadly, from some breeders and vets too.

Yes, I was planning on purchasing one. I couldn't find the purchase forum so I assumed the adoption one was the same.

Sulcata will NOT be in with the leopard.

I have 3. I have had two of them since they were two weeks old. They are now two yrs. one male one female according to the Vet. I’ll show pics. I have a 4 yr pp male I got when he was 2. Their names are Jewel, Bandit & Squirt. My 2 yr old male is 10.5” long and 5.5 lbs. he’s huge. Bigger than my 4 yr old but he has been raised differently than Squirt was his first two years. The only reason I’m selling is because we are moving to ca in May. I’m not hot on shipping them.

 

[Kip]

How much are you asking for each? Where are you located?

 

[Borgijo]

I’m asking $600 for Squirt since he is smaller he weighed in at 4.59lbs today. Jewel $700 weighed in at 5.22lbs & Bandit $700 at 6.08lbs. I’m located in Kingsland, ga.

 

[Borgijo]

I’ll be in Oklahoma in June. I know the drive out to ga may be a little far. If you are interested in any of them.

I did look into shipping with Delta Dash (they were cheaper then Delta Standard) which is an option.
