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.
