TORTOISE COVE??? ISO MARBLE/HIGH RED/ORANGE CH

[Adam90]

I'm currently looking for a YOUNG high marble/red/orange cherryhead to add to my pair and I came across a site through a YouTube video of the "tortoise cove." It looks like they have an incredible gene pool with incredible prices ($175 for cherry) but I haven't heard anything back from them and it's been a while now. Is anyone familiar with this site or have done any business w them in the past??

Of course If anyone has any information I'll be incredibly greatful for it.

-THANKS

Isn't Tortoise Cove what N2 TORTS used to call his place?

 

[Yvonne G]

Yeah, I just looked at the site. That's Jeff's place.

I don't know anything about them. Or if they're legitimate. But that price to me is a red flag

Tortoise Cove is legit. Its Jeff N2TORTS from the forum. However, he no longer is involved in selling that I know of.

Yes

 

[wellington]

Jeff/N2TORTS/Tortoise Cove is legit but sadly no longer selling tortoises due to illness years ago.
Yes, he had a fantastic gene pool and beautiful Redfoot tortoises that I have yet to see anyone match.

So, has someone "borrowed" his good name?

It appears that the Tortoise Cove website is same as it was before.

It appears that the Tortoise Cove website is same as it was before.

But there is someone representing themselves as being from that site selling strangely inexpensive tortoises.

Is someone else authorized to sell from his site?

$175 was what Jeff was selling Brazilians for when he was active. Only seems cheap because thats the price from 7 years ago.

No, not that I know of. A friend of his, Jeremy, was helping to sell many of his tortoises, but that was way back when.
Not sure if Jeff has any torts left. I never really asked. I will next time I talk/email them. I'm almost 100% sure he's not producing any more.

I don't believe so. I haven't visited the site for some time. Last time I did, a few years ago, it hadn't been updated at all.
I think it's probably the same as the last time he was able to do anything on it. It just has not been closed down.

Is their name Jeremy?

Where are they advertising/representing themselves at/on?

 

[wellington]

Sent an email to Jeff/Cindy to see if they were back to selling or if someone else was using the Tortoise Cove with permission to sell.
Usually takes a bit for them to answer. Will update when I hear from them.

@Adam90 mentioned the business and wondered if it was legitimate.(Above)
I'm not sure if the OP was just quoting a price from the old website or not.
I became concerned that a scammer was reaching out under the name.
So far, the has been no clarification
