Would you trust this?

Question

Ok i am looking for turtles and found this website..

http://www.turtlesale.com/home/index.php?page=baby-turtles-page-1

Answer 1

I have heard of many people getting sick turtles from turtlesale.com and them not sending a replacement. I've also heard their customer service is poor, especially when you have a problem. I would find a different place.

EDIT: I am quite shocked that purfectpeek, who claims to be a turtle lover, would encourage you to go and catch a wild turtle before buying one. Captive bred is always better than wildcaught!

Answer 2

No,

Heres some great sites to adopt

Answer 3

no please don't make those little guys suffer in a box to be delivered. They are sick or dead when they arrive or plain stressed out! Go to any city pond and save one from sure death..if ya can catch them.

Check the shelters in your area, people are dumping them all over cause they don't realize that they cost allot in the long run if you don't start out BIG..BIG tank, filtersystem,rep light..tions of fish to eat and greens..

Check your local paper and shelters..Contact the “herpetologicalsocieties.com, for a turtle vet /rescue in your city and state.

If you have allot of $$$$ and start out with a 60 gal plus size tank and great filtration system for Aquatic turtles I say do it!

They are the cutest!

Sliders, Cooters , painted ,map and yellow bellied are require the same care and feeding. I have two that are 36 yrs old!! Plus an 8 and 5 yr old.

I have had them in a pond for about 6 yrs now..

Answer 4

NO!

All the turtles there are sold sick and all die when you get them.

That site is horrible!

Get a turtle from a asite like http://www.kingsnake.com

They have great turtle selling pages there. :)

Answer 5

what do you mean trust. If oyu mean health wise then yes as those turtles look pretty healthy and have clear eyes. However, baby res are illegal in the us. so i think you should just go for adoption.
