"Soon be 25 years that I've been playing with redfoot tortoises.. and I don't recall seeing a legitimate "captive raised" AVAILABLE... ever!"
This, especially the use of the word ever, is what earned you the responses.
"This is an ad making a long term captive raised Redfoot tortoise AVAILABLE."
This should have been your pitch.
"They exist in private collections I don't doubt [ that's not what this ad is about ]"
Missing the point on purpose? I am not saying they exist in private collections. I am saying legitimate captive born and raised redfeet are offered for sale. What this ad is about is you adding your snake oil salesman touch.
