    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I'm looking to sell my husbands tortoises. He has 2 red-foots and 4 leopards. They have been his pets for years. The female red-foot he has had for 27 years, she had laid and produced babies for a number of years. The leopards he purchased in 2010 from Jeff (in AZ), they have not laid.

Where is the best place for me to post a for sale ad on them?

Thanks for your time.
Cathy

Pictures are being posted now. Please be patient, my internet is extremely slow and have already had the computer freeze.

He is willing to split them up (but would be great if they did go in 2 groups) and willing to ship them (at your cost). We live in Texas and would be willing to meet on the road if you want as well.
Still working on the pricing but wanted to post the pictures first since I have been flooded with request. Was not expecting so many responses.


Female Redfoot-
This is Rocky. We got her prior to moving to TX in 1999 as a teenager. We had a hatchling red-foot that we had bought a few years prior to getting her, which turned out to be a male. The 2 grew up together and started producing babies (I think in 2012 or 13). In 2014 my husband found Rebate (the male) dead and thinks he received an electrical shock. It was winter time and we had 2 pig blankets in their greenhouse to sleep on. Thinks Rebate pee'd on the electrical cord at a connection point. The following year we picked up the current male. He has shown no interest in Rocky and she has not laid (that we have found) since Rebate died. I attached pictures of her last clutch of babies in 2014, 8 hatched.

Rocky today measures 16"ish and weights 21 lbs.

Leopards

These are pictures of the 2 smallest leopards.
The largest of the 2 smallest has an indentation in rear on both sides (in the photo of the tails, this one is on the right)

Now for the pricing.

Redfoots - $400 for the pair. Since the male is not worth much to a lot of folks, I did not put a price on him, just included him in the sale for free. So if you want just the female, its still $400 for her.

Leopards - pricing them at $100/". If you buy 2 or more, then will drop the price to $90/".

Measurements are:
1 is 11"
1 is 10.5"
1 is 8.5" (this is the one with the indentations on the side). Pretty sure its a male. While getting its bath, a very big fleshy umbrella came out. Its also the one with the longer tail in the photo of the 2 smaller ones. Its the right one.
1 is 8"
