Are they okay? Have heard many mixed opinions about them! Your own personal experiences with them would be great (Not looking for a tort this time )
Thanks!
Thanks!
Wow! I'm so sorry! I didn't know they were that bad!Bad timing asking me this. I bought 2 leopard hatchlings from them last January. They were dry started I am assuming. The first died in May I think and my other one, whom I have babied for almost a year was dead yesterday morning. Neither one of them grew. Butters, despite eating good and appearing healthy had gained less than 20 grams. I have 3 others that I got from Neal, here on the forum. They were all kept in identical enclosures and fed the same. The trio are doing great and growing at acceptable rates.
I strongly recommend NOT buying from Backwater.
I'll go a bit of digging, but this has got me a bit concerned!Do a search in "tortoise vendor reviews", or over at fauna classifieds in their "board of inquiry". I don't think it will take long to form an opinion...
