Hello,
I am still on my search for egyptian tortoises to adopt up in Canada and I came across tortoisemart.com. Now after going through their website, I feel I have finally found the light at the end of the tunnel. There were some red flags going off about their website that sounded a bit too good to be true, like no visits to see the tort you want to adopt just shipping only (I read the reasoning behind it and I understand why they choose to operate that way), nothing regarding CITE import/export permits, no health guarantee during the shipping phase and the big one for me, only reviews I can find are the positive reviews posted on the feedback section of the website yet no reviews on the tortoise shop page under the specific species.
I have reached out via email on friday with some questions and haven't heard back from them. I know it's the weekend and don't expect a reply quite yet. The overall presentation looks great great I'm just concerned it's too good to be true (really don't want it to be). Has anyone on here adopted through this website and can they provide me with some feedback to substantiate their claims.
PS they are located in Texas as far as the website tells me.
Thanks for reading,
Ryan & Rebecca
