He was Sue, and he did

five years ago, which is around the time I got Cookie.
Not enough evidence apparently.

He is a pig Caroline and shuold be ashamed of himself. Can I ask what he charges for his babies. Don't mind if you don't want to reply

Caroline McI · 09-07-2007, 11:14 PM

No I don't mind. For Cookie £165 (five years ago), for one heat mat £10, for Nutrobal £5.

In February for Lottie £195, for Nutrobal £5.

I've had a few Nutrobal tubs from him and because he said I needed a heat mat
I got a second one sent to me (to use at my mums) for £12 - although I did
send £15 but of course he didn't sent the £3 change back.

Unnfortunately this so called breeder is committing one of the biggest scams out there - hiding behind his glorious membership of a well known herpetological society. His name is similar to the name for one who has no father!! If you are into torts you will know him, if not it would be easy to be fooled by his disgraceful patter and end up in these sad cicumstances

This idiot not only said this tortoise was OK but even sold another to keep it company, something he must have known would be detrimental to it's future health. It is he who needs sorting out rather than the unfortunate owner

Diabolical. At least you know better now Caroline and can make sure you do it differently. I would be careful though if the littel one turns out to be male.

If Mr **** or Big B is reading this Ed he will know quite well who I am talking about and to him I say 'Bring it on' LOL. Also plenty of proof and a trail of dead torts behind him

Caroline McI · 09-07-2007, 11:35 PM

Yeah, it's very disappointing to think someone would
do that, not so much to me or taking the money but to
the tortoises. I wonder how many other people there
are who haven't found SW or have gone on thinking they
are doing well

BTW, Cookie and Lottie are booked in at the vet tomorrow.
