[moosenoose]

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

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

[shamous1]

Taking the **** in a big way. Might have to e-mail them and say I'm interested.

I think they are great even though they are exotic

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.

I find a beardie works well for getting down the shops. Good job the spikes are soft

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

Update

After having inquired about them the owner has just gotten back to me with a quote on freighting etc.

They are in Italy.

Hi Shamous and thanks for your enquiry.I'm in Udine,Italy and freighting from here stands at $600 but I could round this up all for $4200 freighting included for the pair if you are serious about this.I have all the paperwork necessary for freighting internationally.They are a male and female unrelated pair,weigh 25 and 27kg respectively with app shell sizes of 64 and 67cm.Captive born and bred and fed on a combination of hay,pellets and salad.Do you have any handling experience?Will send you a shot of them in my next mail.

Regards

well there you go. a "legal" exotics ad on petlink. No wonder NPWS has questioned the legality of reptile ads being posted there under NSW laws.
