Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

i agree with you fully i ordered 5 pacman frogs from them and they arrived in the worst condition a normal box not insulated.1 was dead and the other arent doing so well they will not eat and thats not rite for a pacman this company needs to take pride in their business and take care of their animals so they dont get sick.

I know it sounds like you guys need some help so what I am going to suggest is take this to the turtle discussion boards as well as the BOI. This is the for sale ads so you probably wont get much help here.

I'm sure an admin will move this at some point.....
I never ordered from them cause i've read enough bad reviews. They have about 5 websites,all the same owner, different names,(reptile city,turtle city,haha reptiles, ect).
I have to say it's a bit your fault as well. For starters you purchased from a website without reading reviews, second you don't live in California, Florida, Texas or anywhere warm this time of year.
Even WITH styro lined boxes and heat packs,I wouldn't buy online unless the temps hit the 40's.
Most likely your turtles have a RI (respiratory infection).You need to separate the sick ones from the healthy ones and take them to a vet cause they need antibiotics. In the meantime keep the sick ones in at least 84 degree water.
Make sure you sterilize the tank where they were all kept together cause RI is very contagious.

I'm going to move this thread to the discussion forums for help with the sick turtles only.
Any further comments about any specific vendor should be taken to the BOI in a proper thread and not continued here.

In addition to the other suggestions, I have found that taking a sick turtle in the shower with me helps RI. Not in the actual bath tub, but move the tank into the bathroom while you take a shower.
