buying turtles online

daveski Oct 20, 2007 01:38 AM

so ive come across a ton of sites(most seem legit) selling baby water turtles(RES, painted, etc...) for fairly low prices. I have never bought turtles online so i dont know how to go about it...

does anyone have any experiences buying online? if so any good sources or sites you can recommend, and what to avoid. Thanks a lot.

I can recommend these people:

I bought a boxied from them. She came healthy and well packaged. I was able to visit their place in Florida a couple years ago. They take good care of their turtles! They used to be all CB, looks like now they have a few WC. Too bad, but they will tell you which is which.
