I am looking to get a tortoise this summer. I am stuck between ordering from TURTLE SOURCE and TORTOISE SUPPLY. I would love a B-Grade Hermanni. I am currently located in the New England, USA area. Where have you gotten your torts? Any suggestions?

They're not a breeder and I've read less than stellar reviews.

Also why not support a vendor that is an active member?

I wanted to order a tort from Turtle source but I was getting ready to leave for vacation so I asked if I could pay now (it was a huge sale price and they only had 2 listed) and then have shipped a week and half later. They told me they had plenty and would honor their sale price.. a week and half later they wouldn't honor the sale prices and the ones I wanted were gone lol that's my only experience with them

Avoid TurtleSource.

Try Garden State Tortoise, I've been very happy with the 5 tortoises I've purchased over the years from him.

They aren't a breeder? I've seen YouTube videos of their whole operation (Kenan Harkin visited their site). I'm still new to researching everything, so I could be wrong in assuming.

I got my Hermann tortoise, Geronimo, on July 29th, 2016 through Tortoise Supply. I did a lot of research and looking around for almost 2 years before. I AM VERY VERY VERY HAPPY with my little guy. The correspondence was excellent, they answered every question I had and listened to my concerns.He was delivered about 3 hours later than expected, but that was a carriers problem not Tortoise Supply. When I took him out of the box he was very active and ready to go from the start, once he made a couple of laps checking things out he went straight for the food dish. Geronimo has been a joy since the day we got him and I have not had any problems with him except he does have quite the attitude, he thinks he's king. LOL I would highly recommend Tortoise Supply.

Yes okay 5 times now Chris Leone has been suggested to me...(a few times by the same person? I'm still trying to figure out this forum layout!) Thank you for the suggestion.
