Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I just adopted a 45# sulcata, I think a male but not sure. I don't plan on selling him; he's going to be a pet. But, out of curiosity, what do tortoies of this size usually sell for?

500 is usually typical. Shipping them is a pain, though, given their size. This usually costs quite a bit extra.

T.G.

hello
i sold one that size it was a male out of the shop for $300.00 dollars
females are much more expensive

I WOULD LIKE TO APPOLOGIZE FOR THE SPELLING ERRORS AND ALL THE FUTURE ONES I WILL MAKE
I WRITE THESE WHILE I ROCK MY DAUGHTER TO BED AND OFTEN DO NOT HAVE MY GLASSES ON AND I CAN BARELY SEE LET ALONE PROOF READ
$300.00 TO $500.00 IS THE AVERAGE
BUT YOU CAN EASILY ADOPT THESE HENCE THE REASON I SELL THEM FOR SO CHEAP
MALES SULCATAS ARE UNFORTUNATELY BECOMING A DIME A DOZEN
THEY ARE THE IGUANA OF THE TORTS
EVERYBODY LOVES EM SMALL NOBODY WANTS THEM WHEN THEY GET HUGE
I HAVE QUITE A FEW PET MALES FROM THE RESCUES
MURPHY IS MY FAVORITE HE LIVED IN A DOG KENNEL FOR 15 YEARS AT A RESCUE ON CEMENT.
HE HAS A HALF ACRE ALL TO HIMSELF NOW AND 2 LADIES
HE CAN NOT PROPERLY BREED BUT HE SURE TRIES
UNFORTUNATLY WITH REPTILES IT IS NOT ALWAYS WHAT IT IS WORTH BUT BUT WHAT YOU CAN GET
SOMETHINGS REALLY HOLD THEIR VALUE BUT MALE SULCATAS ARE NOT IT.
IF IT IS A PET IT IS PRICELESS BUT IF YOU ARE TRYING TO SELL IT BE REAL BIG TORTS THAT ARE BULLDOZERS ARE NOT ALWAYS EASY TO SELL
AND SHIPPING IS ALOT
WELL
GOOD LUCK WITH THE BIG GUY
