2022 Burmese black tortoise (phayrei) hatchlings are due to pip in mid July.
Individual phayrei:
$475 each with shipping included, depending on location.
We are not making wholesale groups available this year since one of our females that laid last month is a first-time mother and that impacts supply. We depend on our more seasoned animals for reliable hatchling production.
***SOLD.*** Thank you kindly.
We are not using VM-line animals at present. VM-line animals are perfectly fine, but we are not using any at this time just as it so happens. All of these babies we will be offering will have come from our colony. While there are some people that try to pass off VM-produced animals as their own for the sake of making sales with inflated or massaged claims of involvement, we state origins clearly. This goes for our phayrei just as it goes for our Brazilian cherryheads. Whenever we supplement or complement a supply of a given type of animal, it will receive attribution to its source or explanation that the source is not us/me. Likewise, all of our animals are pure phayrei. There are some people using Manouria intergrades, but we have no such interest in that practice.
If wanting to buy additional unrelated animals or small groups of such from another trusted source, I can readily make a referral while supplies last when the time comes. I readily promote other people whose practices are beneficial to the animals and the keepers/buyers of said animals.
To purchase 2022 phayrei, please
email me to get the conversation started. I will not take prepayment on eggs and there will be no concrete wait list because people have a tendency to be unreliable as far as their claims of interest go, but babies can start being selected and paid for once they begin to pip so the process is swift and efficient. They will begin hatching in July, so the wait will not be very long. I will resurrect the ad from its backpage grave and update it when the time comes.
These come from our colony of dinosaur tortoises. The hatchlings will be feeding heavily on fruit, fungi, some limited amount of greens, some limited amount of pellets, and whatever else I give them on any given day.

Any buyer is expected to have done his/her research prior to making contact, as it shows intellectual investment in the well-being of the animal(s).

TOS:
Shipping and LAG:
I ship via Reptile Express (which utilizes Fed-Ex). If there is adverse weather involved, we will wait for a safer shipping window as warranted. Contact me at
nickolasanastasiou at yahoo dot com if you are interested in purchasing. I offer a live arrival guarantee if you are present to receive. If there is a DOA situation, I expect multiple hi-res photos adequately displaying the condition within an hour of receipt (and I may require the corpse/corpses to be sent back to me; you will be compensated for this if it happens). If there is a discrepancy in description, I expect to be made aware of it within the day it is received (in which case, I will issue you a full refund upon safe return of the animal/animals to me). Animals under 4" scl are not sold as pets. Contiguous 48 only (I actually can ship to HI or AK, but there may be additional costs involved that the buyer would have to cover).
Shipping is about $75 most of the time. Sometimes I save two bucks and sometimes I lose ten over the included number, so $75 is what I settle at for smaller animals. I suppose I could meet up with someone closer and chop the shipping off, but it would have to be a convenient location for me and I am ONLY chopping the shipping off for a meet-up. The distance you traverse has zero bearing on this cost reduction. Larger animals cost a heap more to ship, so that incorporated cost is steeper.
Contact:
Email me at
nickolasanastasiou at yahoo dot com or
nick_a@tortoisemorphs.com (which redirects to my Yahoo! account anyway) if you are interested in purchasing. I am usually busy between work, perhaps school, care for my menagerie, more work, family stuff, and yet more work, so
email works best for me.
Deal discussions are to be conducted through email. Since I use Fauna private messages for site-related communications,
I am unlikely to respond to PMs about animals in my ads. It also implies the person either did not read or did not care about what was written.
Payment:
All non-local sale prices have shipping cost, packaging, and any miscellaneous fees/costs built in for buyer convenience except where otherwise indicated (usually for much larger individuals). What you see is what you get.
Payment plans are no longer accepted. If only a portion of the total due is sent to me and I have not explicitly agreed to that, I reserve the right to refund you and refuse sale. If an offer is made and I accept it with a time frame involved for payment, a lapse of said time frame without any delivery of payment typically means the agreement has been invalidated (for example, if you say you are going to pay me [amount] on [date] and I agree to that, the deal is basically void if [date] passes and payment has not been sent) unless we both agree to the renegotiation of the payment window and there are no communication deficits.
Sexing:
Unsexed animals, probable sexes, and temp-sexed animals have no associated guarantees as to a specific sex. A probable male/female appears to be so at the time, but has not necessarily reached full maturity, so there is room for error. A TSF or TSM label is subject to the performance of accurate TSD and that is a shift of probability in favor of a particular sex (it often works out, but occasionally does not; such is the chance we all take). A guaranteed sex is, as stated, guaranteed. If an animal of guaranteed sex ends up revealing itself to be not of the purchased and explicitly declared sex (with sufficient evidence sent to me) down the road, it can be returned to me in a healthy state for a full refund (the general practice) or, if you are attached emotionally, we may be able to do a partial refund based on current market prices while you retain the animal.
Trades:
I prefer sales to trades in almost all cases. Not seeking trades at this time.
