Another local ads, local seller, $850 for the breeding pair (too rich for my blood)

They're really cool torts. They are flat so they can fit in rock crevices for defense. If something tries to pull them out, they can puff up a little bit to wedge themselves in.
 
Im guessing you live in canada
(saw same pictures on ad in reptilecanada)

Yep, just like a chuckwalla.
 
One of the coolest torts ever!
 
That is a good deal actualy;) They can worth even more. Also they both represent the 2 diferent morphotipes pancakes come. One is a normal one and the other belongs to a morphotipe that has a star tortoise like apearence and its higly sougth after. Really cool tortoises:D And great for both the indoor and outdoor enclosures (of corse security is a must)
 
ive seen this before. lol never thought of owning them before. shows how far adaptations can take an animal species in its environment.
