They are really nice and very cute! The larger one has a very bumpy shell though - could be a sign that they have not been kept very well. They need a better home

I know the owner of these torts, and they have been kept in excellent condition. Sometimes when you rehome or buy torts, the previous owner has not known as much as they should have done, since this owner got them, they have been very well taken care of.

He has said in the advert that the larger one has been re-homed hence the bumpy shell and I can personally say that these torts are VERY well looked after as I know of them.

The three smaller ones are a credit to there owner and there smooth shells tell this.

If I liked leopards, I would snap these up.

Hi Ed, the owner wants to find the right home, so price is not an issue, just the right new keeper. I think the advert is coming on to the SW forum this evening.

hi all ,


thanks for your nice comments, these tortoises are mine, i'm having a crisis in life and i'm having to thin down on my creature collection. i'm moving house and i won't have the space to take the larger of my critters with me. i'm devastated but confident i can find good homes for them. its a bit of a sore subject.

yes you are correct that the big tortoise is lumpy. in the advert it states that the tortoise was rehomed. i literally only took it on about 10 weeks ago.
the bigger tortoise is the same age as the little two. 3 years old but due to no uv and just a naff heatmat in a tiny viv she has ended up as a walking toblerone.

all are healthy and are about to be wormed and flagylled and yes the price is correct. i have a month to part with these tortoises so i can't ask for stupid money.

johanne, come round and see all my set ups for all of my animals if you feel like i don't give them a good home.

thanks again for your nice comments laraine and sarah,

sarah, sorry i missed the call the other day, i will explain all soon enough.

Neil.
