Aldabra Giant Tortoises 4 sale! :)

I see there are some for sale on Petlink...umm anyone? Aldabra Giant Tortoise (Geochelone gigantea) sounds exotic doesn't it?

http://www.petlink.com.au/Classifieds/sale/371699.html

ps: I suppose the native animals have nothing to worry about here with these particular animals, unless of course you're a juicy lettuce!

looking at the email address I think they are in California. I know that when I posted some lizards for sale on petlink I had a number of enquiries from California.

my mum used to own two of them, when it was legal, she use to ride them around her backyard for the price of a snail dangling in front of its face
