Looks ok to me from the pics. Shells a bit bumpy but nothing too bad. It would be best to go and have a look at the tort so you can check it has a dry nose and clear bright eyes. I made the mistake of not checking first when I got Theo and I quickly noticed there was something not right as he was making strange noises and blowing bubbles from his nose!! He ended up costing me a small fortune in vets bills and I had to rehome him with someone who could make him better because he wasn't improving with me. Don't mean to scare you - just don't want anyone to make the same mistake as I did lol xx

Thank you :) I will go and see him when I pick him up anyway so if anything is wrong I won't be buying. How much do you think a 5 year old is worth?

Ive only ever had Horsfield tortoises so Im not sure how much he would be worth. How much are they asking for him? Does he come with a full set up? xx

He comes with a vivarium and they want £200 for everything

Will you be keeping him in the viv or moving him into a table? The viv in the picture looks quite small so he will probably need to be moved into something bigger. I would personally make an offer for the tortoise on its own and get something bigger for him to live in xx

Yeah I would do too!

Looks lovely to me I only have experience with horsfield stars and red foots but £200 seems a pretty fair price. It's house does not look very big on the pictures but might be ok as a starter home as I have paid that much for just a tortoise before (my 4year old red foot) a good check over when you pick it up will let you know if it's healthy enough. I know if it was me I would get it regardless lol I could not leave it behind.

I didn't end up getting it as it didn't have certificate

If it does not have a certificate will that not mean they won't be able to sell it? Could they not gift it to you if you bought the set up for it?
