Good Guy Arizona Tortoise Compound - Andrew Hermes

[Charles Deng]

I recently bought a hatchling Hermann's tortoise from the Arizona Tortoise Compound (https://www.arizonatortoisecompound.com). It was my first time buying a reptile, so I did a lot of research. The good guy/bad guy posts on this site helped me a lot in finding a great breeder, so I wanted give back and post this thread as a way to help future buyers.

My experience with Andrew Hermes of ATC was fantastic. Even though my order was relatively small (only $150), Andrew replied to nearly a dozen emails from me in a timely manner. Most of his replies were done within hours of my sending it, and all of his emails were very thorough and detailed.

When the tortoise arrived, it was packaged very nicely and was eating and climbing around its enclosure within an hour. So far, the tortoise is eating very well and is very healthy, active, and curious.

Even after our transaction was over and the tortoise had arrived, I sent some follow-up questions regarding the tortoise's diet and Andrew replied to my questions quickly and thoroughly. He clearly cares more about the well-being of his animals than the money itself!

I would definitely recommend this business to a friend, and would buy from ATC again!

I was aware of that thread, David. My judgment told me that when a business makes thousands of transactions, one is bound to go differently than planned. I see you comment on every single thread about ATC, and you were remarkably quick in finding this one. I simply wanted to post about a good experience I had with ATC. I am sorry you felt the need to bring up an issue that happened more than two years ago.

I am not quite sure what your agenda is. You have disturbingly persistent for a long period of time with this topic. Perhaps you feel you don't have enough drama in your life and want to create some with strangers on the Internet. If that is the case, I am sorry to say that I am busy and do not have the time to indulge you. I wanted to leave a good review about a great experience I had with a business. I have done so, and thus this is the last comment I will make on this thread.

A pretty snarky reply. Perhaps David provided the link for insight, so that potential buyers would be able to see other behaviors from this seller and make up their own minds. After all, the BOI is all about gathering info both good and bad.

Funny, My judgement tells me that when things go wrong Andrew will do it again

I see you comment on every single thread about ATC

Wrong again.

I am sorry you felt the need to bring up an issue that happened more than two years ago.

I'm not.

I am not quite sure what your agenda is.

That would be to counter the people that Andrew sends here to make these posts, this has already been hashed out and you are late.

You have disturbingly persistent for a long period of time with this topic.

Thanks, and I will continue to do so.

I wanted to leave a good review about a great experience I had with a business.

You did and I simply added information.

I have done so, and thus this is the last comment I will make on this thread.

Thanks !

Thank you Charles and David for posting on the BOI. Both positive and negative posts allow individuals the means to access both the buyer and seller merits.

I am personally grateful for the BOI.

Michael, I inserted your email address into my email and did find an email in the junk folder about the 6 mis-scuted sulcata hatchlings that were in the 100 lot I shipped. If you ever do not hear from us, just give us a ring at 602 828 4188. We are here everyday!! We just tried calling you and no anwser, we will keep trying. No problem, we will ship you another 6 perfects, we do have another 100 lot for you to finish the 200 lot breeder statement we provided.

Also, thank you Nick for letting us know of this message here!!!!
