Price for a 20 month old Sulcata

Mrs Frog · 25-05-2011, 05:25 PM

Could someone please advise me on a reasonable price for a 20 month old sulcata?
I have found someone selling one and he wants me to make an offer but I am not good at that sort of thing,what sort of offer is acceptable to make?
Thanks
Jackie

Depend's on the tort's history to me, how kept. If you are satisfied the tort has been kept well and had no health problem's, £70-£100 maybe, it is a Sulcata not the easiest to sell i would think Jackie.

I have seen a lot of Sulcata come up for rehoming, often adults but sometimes juveniles.

To make an offer, go lowest first rule of haggling.

Hi Jackie I sell my babies for £125 each or 2 for £200. I would consider £100-£125 a reasonable offer depending on condition, check that its eyes are nice and bright and not sunk into its sockets and that its nostrils are clear of any discharge (rns). Check what diet it has been on and that it has been having nutrabol calcium supplement on a regular basis. If it has a lumpy shell then only offer around £60-£70 it is still young enough to correct with the rite diet.
