0.0.1 ~10-11" ivory sulcata
$1550 shipped
This animal was supposed to have been incubated for female and it has a bunch of split scutes. I have the sneaking suspicion that it will end up a male despite that. I would not guarantee it will be male since I consider it unsexed, but it is my hunch. It is between 10" and 11" scl. ~10.5-10.75", give or take. I had it listed much higher as a probable female, but I took it off the market when considering making an offshoot colony of only ivories and I recently started to doubt the sex of the animal. Its major increase in boldness leads me to believe it will probably reveal itself as a male in time and so I have dropped the price way down into male territory (plus the crazy split scutes on a male if so). Ball of energy. Grazes heavily and also takes to supplemental foods provided. Follows me around.

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).
Contact:
Email me at nickolasanastasiou at yahoo dot com if you are interested in purchasing. I am usually busy between work, 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.
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 beyond those specified. For trades sought, I can add payment to make up the difference on a case-by-case basis.
Nothing at this time.
Wanted:
The following are animals I may consider acquiring, although I feel no rush to do so. If you have a matching animal you might like to sell, feel free to email me with details on background and pricing along with decent photos. I tend to fill project openings at my own pace and that pace is usually quickly, so what is wanted today could easily become of reduced or eliminated interest tomorrow as I obtain animals from various sources.
Nothing at this time.
