(SOLD) Proven Adult Female Leopard Tortoise Pardalis Babcocki

6 year old proven adult 14” female Leopard Tortoise Pardalis Babcocki (possibly gravid)

I personally raised her from a hatchling in an enclosed chamber to produce a smoother shell than most captive raised Leopard Tortoises. She was raised in a high humidity enclosure and was being fed on a variety of dark leafy greens from Escarole, Endive, Dandelions, Hibiscus leaves, supplemented with Mazuri Tortoise Diet until she was about 10” and then raised outdoors. She’s got a appetite and continues to grow each year and her growth rings prove that. In the summer I soak her about 4 days a week and during the winter time she stays indoors unless deemed necessary where she stays in an insulated radiated heat emitted night box. She’s laid 3 clutches for me this year anywhere from 7-10 eggs currently incubating. I’m releasing her from my collection because I’ve decided to veer away from tortoises. I’m asking for $1800 OBO local pickup or +shipping. Will provide photos upon request via. E-mail

This and the male in your other listing were on Craigslist as local listings in Phoenix just this Thursday. They were both listed as females and being sold for $400 each as 7-year-olds. It appears that you are in Nevada and now selling them as having been raised by you. The exact same adult picture was used in the CL listing. I actually communicated with the person who had them listed in Phoenix. Perhaps, there is a good explanation for this. In order to make sure that everything is legitimate, I think the Fauna users would appreciate some elaboration.

I can reassure you that whoever this “phantom” person is who’s saving my photos and reposting them ANYWHERE outside of Nevada doesn’t not own these two tortoises. I’ve been contacted numerous times by “trolls” have tried meeting people locally with not a single person showing up. With MY tortoises in my car, in a concrete mixing tub waiting to be sold. People have shown interest, but when I come deliver suddenly their phones go out and people stop responding. I have these two posted on multiple markets. With my contact info available, I am MORE than happy to answer phone calls, FaceTime with my tortoises and my identity as proof of evidence. I have no problem responding, I prefer smooth clear-cut communication.

However, if you’re trolling or have been one of those people asking for my address to send a cashiers check, being suspicious about the entire transaction good luck! I’d rather keep them.

Thank you for the response. I hope that you don't take my post personally. I felt an obligation to point-out the Phoenix CL listing in order to minimize the odds of any foul play. However, your response seems to clear things up. I appreciate you taking the time to clarify. And, your new photo was certainly not in the CL listing that I previously referred to.
