Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Just did a little research. Apparently Medium sized tortoises should be packed in a box large enough for them to right themselves should they be flipped, and that box placed into another box. Basically, instead of a plastic container, a box. Or very large tortoises would need to be shipped via Airlines in a dog crate.
So, according to that, no, he should NOT have been taped at all.

Not sure if it's the same guy or not, but aguy has been posting 2 adult males and an afult female for sale on CL. The price sounds right, but adds kept getting deleted do to him listing prices fro the 3 animals. On the add, BOTH males were listed as being over 20", the female I think was listed at 19". Very sorry for you situation and wish you the best on your dealings with this person.

That sucks! What are people thinking when shipping.There are so many directions and knowledgable shippers out there to make sure this doesn't happen! Just a real shame.
Money is not worth this!
Sorry for your loss man.I hope all works out.

After looking at the pictures, I'm wondering whether the critter was alive when it was shipped.....

I feel sorry for all this "person"s" animals. That poor thing should not have had to deal with that. He really doesn't deserve to keep what he has. I really do hope he explains, and refunds the OP-he can't really make it RIGHT because that poor tortoise never had a chance.

Clay - Thanks for reposting the ad! Greatly appreciated.
Casey - Hope you had a good birthday!
Thanks to all who have commented and shared their views and information.
I have downloaded some software to pull the sms/text conversations and will post them this evening once I can get to my Itunes.
I will squeeze some time to get a timeline assembled for everyone.
