is turtlesource [not reputable].com a reliable site to get turtles from?

[Spike 7.62]

Companies like this usually use regional breeders. For example, if you live in California, they'll use a breeder in California, or if you're in New York, they'll use a breeder from New York. The business like this is somewhat of a middleman. Since the turtle's health depends on the conditions from which it came, it's hard to rate the quality of these middle-man dealers.

Spike i'm not sure the information you gave is correct, but all i can say is that i never heard of such a thing about turtlesource [not reputable] or any other online turtle store.

What i can say is that i've heard lots of great reviews about the customer service and quality of the turtles.
Would i ever buy from turtlesource [not reputable]? No chance in hell. The price of their turtles is double to triple the price of other reputable dealers.

That sums it.

When I was in email communication with another turtle retail company, I asked out of curiousity how they had so many turtles of so many species and the conditions in which they were kept. I was told that they use regional breeders the way I described. This could be untrue of other companies, I'm not sure.

I've dealt with jay @ turtlesandtortoises.com and exoticpets from Vegas and they both are top notch dealers with great prices.
I'm a turtle breeder myself, but i only breed diamondback terrapins, and the other species i sell are from my personal collection and they've been in my care for several months if not years before they go.
