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.

That the tortoise doesn't have a congenItial defect is great!!!You actually are complaining about a mechanical/physical trauma that will heal and you have a good tortoise that you can breed.
You knew that the tortoise was imperfect,So,what's this about again??
I'm lost!!!

I confused as well. He’s contradicting himself too much. One question though: how can you hate a website after having an account for seven years?

My take on it is that the OP was bargain shopping, bought the turtle, (which looks like a very nice turtle to me) and it was a little late getting delivered so he had a tantrum to try to get some of his shipping money refunded. Note that in the initial tantrum he wanted a credit, so he clearly was ready to make further purchases from the seller.

Ray the seller will not answer my text concerning a refund or at least credit on future purchase.

From an initial, positive review, when his request for money back didn't work out, the OP is now dissing the turtle, the seller, this site, and has even gone so far as to say that the turtle had bubbles for a couple of days (no proof or pictures on that claim).
But he wants the turtle AND the cash, as he has turned down the seller's offer of a full refund on return. (The seller has been courteous and flexible, I feel sure he would permit a slight delay until temps were conducive to shipping back).
I think that the entire thing has been a 'gimme' attempt, and that this buyer thinks that if he whines loud enough and long enough and insults the seller, this site, the turtle, etc., he will get some cash just to shut him up.
Ain't gonna happen.

From the video,it looks like it might be developing respiratory problem.
Probably from the delay.
It needs a warm good light and some moderate humidity(It's wintertime and dry)
and a antibiotic in his food for a treatment duration.
That's what I seen in the video.
You have the animal now.It is your responsibility now.
Jay's responsibility has ended Sir. Now yours begins.
Your a Tortoise Dad.If you need help I will help with dosages,delivery methods that don't stress the animal,and medicine choices.
Put it behind you and concentrate on the important thing the
New Little spirit that is in your home.

I took the liberty of linking this thread to the last YouTube video he shared so that others could come here and draw their own conclusions once they'd read the second half of his story. He replied to said comment which I saw just a few minutes ago.
Ironically, however, the video has been taken down before anyone else could comment. It would appear that the gig is up so to speak.

I still don't understand the need to ship an animal close to a holiday in iffy weather when delays are likely. Please, consider the animal first before agreeing to a shipping date. The OP's main complaint seemed to be about paying for overnight shipping, but receiving in 2 days - even before the shell defects. It was likely still express, but shipping at this time is a mistake on both sides.
Luckily, it appeared to arrive fine.

I’ve never shipped an animal, but I have had many shipped to me. However I would never have an animal shipped in this cold, and with packages being backed up, not to mention porch pirates. Obviously the turtle was indeed package well he survived, and who cares if his shell is flawed, my exes face is flawed but I still have the most adorably, beautiful daughter that ever graced this planet!! Unlike my exes face, your turtles shell will heal, and fix itself.

Now I see the other 4 pages of discussion,
Only read the first page,
or maybe 4 pages of discussion popped up
while I was think about what I read on the first page.
Anyway, just looking at the first page:
knew it was a discount animal,
can’t complain about a discount animal.
I’ll be sending along $1600 ASAP
Happy New Year everyone!
