Hi all,

My brother recently had to move for a job and left me with his tortoise. My brother purchased her at the Pomona reptile super show as an Eastern Hermann's tortoise. Jeff Port just pointed out she is a Russian tortoise, not a Hermann's. I will be contacting the vendor about the incorrect sale.

She is about 6 years old and 6.5 inches long. Eats well and is in perfect health. I'd like her to go to a house where she can live outside, preferably in a large outdoor pen. I can include the zoomed tortoise house for an extra $30. This tortoise house too small for her to be a permanent enclosure but is good for rain, cold, and other times when the tortoise must be either inside or contained.

$150 for the tortoise, plus shipping.
$30 for the tortoise house, only for local pickup (Pasadena/Los Angeles)

Hi Jeff,

Are you sure? It was purchased at the Pomona reptile super show as a female Hermann's tortoise. I was with my brother when he bought it. If the seller knowingly sold him a russian tortoise as a hermann's I will of course change the post and would contact the vendor immediately. Do others agree?
 
Thank you Jeff. After looking at pictures of both species side by side I agree with you. I hope my brother can find the information on the vendor as I don't remember what stand it was. I'd like to at least warn others that the vendor conned customers at a reptile show.
