Yep its those darn Christmas elves! They snuck that tort into his house, put up the ad, complete with photo, and threatened to put coal in his stocking if he didn't go along with the ruse!

That is interesting. I wonder how the feds got wind of it though? You think they snoop around on our site classifieds section? That tort is beautiful but the comment from the guy's neighbor was kind of unecessary and reflects the generally poor public opinion of reptile keeping.

My guess would be that some responsible herper got on to it and reported him. I doubt that they have enough people to monitor each and every reptile site that offers a page for trade or sale in animals.

Radiated tortoises are sold fairly often, someone must have reported him doing something wrong as Merlin said. Also, being the animal is a color morph, it should be excluded in any protection laws the animals have.
