I bought the last two remaining of these guys. What do you think. He doesn't believe they are Ivory, but a similar mutation. I couldn't pass them up.
Fake Ivory tortoise

Congratulations I was about 3 minutes away from callin the dude to get some but I dont get paid until wednesday.Want to sell one?Just Kiddin.

Is it just me or do they look exactly like Ivory tortoises.

Right I think they look almost the same.That is pretty weird.Did the person you bought them from sound like he knew what he was talkin about because he could have scammed himself or are they fakes.I cant exactly tell

I'll let you know when they arrive.

Sweetness and Congrats again.Good Luck.

I saw the ad to and wondered how they were not what has been sold as "ivory"? Perhaps they have color plastrons? And ivories are consistent?

Let us know.

I was pretty sure that a pure Ivory was considered an albino.

Ivory is not a true albino, but a variant form of that gene. These are probably another variant similar to the ivory. The price was right, so I took a chance. I will let everyone know what I think after I get my hands on them in person. they look nice nonetheless.

Congrats on the baby torts. I saw the ad for these lil guys but I don't recall how much the guy was selling them for? Will be interested to read your thoughts on them once you receive them!

Hi, I am wondering if the mutation sulcata tortoise will look the same if they grow older ?

I asked about this, but he never got this color before, and therefore has not kept any to see. Since I am a regular here, I will update regularly with photos. The price was almost what someone would charge for a normal, so I didn't pass them up.

Do you happen to know what the eyes look like? I think the Ivory tortoises have blue eyes. It's been a while since I've seen them so I'm not 100% sure.

He said the color of the eyes, but I couldn't understand exactly what he said. I will lety you know after I get them.
