Sulcata Tortoise 2yrs and Tortoise Table

mecca7 · 07-12-2008, 03:21 PM

I am selling my 2 year old sulcata tortoise (George).

George has been well cared for and is fed a variety of weeds, Kale and dry grasses. In addition his food is supplemented with nutrobal everyday and cuttlebone is always available to him.

The sale includes a tortoise table and T-Rex UV lamp. The table is complete with rocks , mopani bogwood etc.

I am looking for £160.00 for the full setup, and I am open to offers.

Are you sure george is a male and would you just sell the tortoise with no accessorys?

George is a really good looking tort. You shouldn't have too much trouble finding a good home.

Mick.Ire; To be honest I am not sure if it is a male. I was told youcannot sex them at a young age, I have attached a picture of his plastron.

Yeah, that's why I asked. I think it's nearly impossible to tell at such a young age. It's a fine looking tortoise all the same. Does it's tail taper into a really thin point? I've seen some young males with this trait but not as young as george.

mecca7 · 07-12-2008, 09:33 PM

Yes the tail does go narrower at the end but not that much narrower than the rest. Yes I would be willing to sell George without the table. If you email me with an offer I will see what I can do.

I am happy to ask any further questions.

Looks like a little girl to me. But yes, still very young to know for sure.

Mick.Ire · 08-12-2008, 09:34 PM

Cheers Steven but I think we'll hold off for a more mature sulcata that is definatly male because our two females are quite mature. Our priority "wanted" tortoise at the moment is a mature male leopard so if ya hear about any be sure to let me know. Thanks for the info and pics and I'm sure you'll have no problem finding a good home for such a good looking tortoise.
Chat again...Mick.
