This company is a total SCAM and each of the "positive reviews" you read below are written by the con artist. He will steal your money after instisting you pay him through Zelle or CashApp. Don't waste your time or your cash.

This place is a scam operation trying to get you to Zelle money to multiple different accounts and never producing a product. Please report!

No stars deserved ! These guys are not family owned business they say they are ! Just a bunch of scammers taking peoples money 💰 . Don’t sent them money , don’t let their scam grow ! I sent the first payment. Then they say it didn’t go thru , and they never got confirmation of my payment , so for the inconvenience they offer to return that money when it went to and they would give me 50% off to send the next payment! I fell for it. Now they say the don’t have the right crates to send out the product like this was their first time shipping. And asking to send more money to get the right shipping container! **** that . Way too good to be true, my poor daughter will not be receiving her long awaited birthday gift 🎁 … and dads out of funds ….. to be continued…..

For anybody looking to buy a tortoise, ABSOLUTELY 100% DO NOT BUY FROM TORTOISE MART!!! I've been looking for a couple cherry head tortoises and I thought my luck had changed when I saw tortoise mart. (I love in Canada so breeders aren't too common). When I inquired about buying a couple of cherry heads it all seemed pretty normal. I asked them to reserve a couple tortoises for me while I got everything ready and they said they could, but I'd need a down payment which made sense. Btw this down payment was about $400 USD so about $600 CAD. So fast forward a week they say they need the second payment that day because somebody had come in and was about to buy all the cherry heads, which confused me because my down payment was to reserve a couple so I had no idea why this was even an issue, my payment should've secured them. After this I was really skeptical so I looked online and saw a bunch of reviews that were all 1 star, complaining about either the same thing I am or something similar. After this I asked for a refund and they said they'd contact their so called "finance team" and get me a refund. I should also mention that before this they tried to get me to send them the second payment even after I demanded a refund. Sending me email after email, sometimes 3 or 4 within an hour saying things like "are you there" and "we need that second down payment. This really threw me off and I knew it was a scam. They said I'd receive it within 2 weeks and if I didn't I should contact them. Then literally the next day they say the finance team couldn't refund me because and I quote "we found nothing wrong on our end so we can't give you a refund". They then proceeded to tell me that all the negative reviews written about them (literally like 7 or 8 just on this page, and a lot more I found when I did more research) were "their competitors trying to sabotage their image". I wish I did more research on these guys before I sent them a down payment, but let that be a lesson to anyone trying to buy from these SCAM ARTISTS. Please read reviews before you buy from these people, and I'm convinced the other reviews that are rated highly are fake. Please be smart out there and do your research before you buy something online, especially something as expensive as a tortoise. If I could give a 0 star rating I would, these people are frauds and it's a disgrace. I hope these guys get shut down.

This is a SCAM! Save your money. Don’t fall for low deals like they offer. They are SCAMMERS!

Buyer Alert!!! This is literally a SCAM website! Never, ever make any payment to this website. They list their reptiles at low prices and ask for payments through zelle (Tameka Teague, tamekateague1300 at gmail.com). After you make a payment, they will send you a link to a fake shipping company called freight global shipping with fake shipping information (The shipping and delivery dates were all wrong). Then during the 'IN transit', a so called 'medical director' from shipping company will inform you the crate needs to be upgraded and ask for $700 deposit. They claim $650 will be refunded by CASH upon delivery, which doesn't make sense at all! What kind of delivery driver carry so much cash?! If you ask payment methods for the deposit, the guy gonna ask you to transfer money to a personal zelle account (named as Chris Morris, 7083512050) and they will use your love of your pet to urge you send money as soon as possible. If you contact the seller, he will say this is normal. The seller will ask you to send money either to the guy of the shipping company or to him and he can do the rest for you. What more ridiculous of these guys is that the contact phone number of the shipping company is a personal phone number! What kind of 'international shipping' company provide personal phone number as their service contact. Besides, it is written clearly on their website the animals will be shipped by FedEx or UPS, which is absolutely not true. You can't find the shipping company they 'use' by google, only through the link they provide. These guys just make all these up and rob money from people who want to have some lovely reptile pets. The seller I contact never leave his name in email. The name on the shipping track page is Sharene Doles. The address doesn't look like they have those animals there at all. They don't have any face, ins or other social media on their website and they copy a lot of information from other reptile sale websites. I hope some enforcements can see this and shut down their websites so no one will ever be scammed by these guys.

If I could leave zero stars I would. These guys are elaborate scammers. They will take your money, give you a fake tracking number with a link that takes you to a fake site. The effort they put into scamming people is quite astonishing. Please save yourself the hassle and Google reputable companies to buy from. Monica.
