You can't blame then, they didn't buy it. At least they're selling it.

aye doesn't sound good, though the seller might not even realise the problem if their not even into torts.

Who the hell goes and buys someone a tortoise!

Hopefully if they've just got it someone can buy it and give it UV before the lack causes problems, bet it's diet isn't great either. Sadly if it isn't someone from here or another clued up person who buys it, it'll have a pretty crappy life. =(

Sad it was an unwanted tortoise

But for all we know it might have all the correct equipment and be looked after very well.
