  • You understand the long-term commitment involved in tortoise ownership.

  • You have researched the care requirements of your chosen species.

Shipping and Delivery

We carefully prepare every tortoise for safe transportation using appropriate shipping methods.

Shipping dates may be adjusted due to weather conditions, carrier delays, animal health considerations, or other circumstances that may affect the safety of the animal.

Risk of loss transfers to the customer once the shipment has been delivered according to the carrier’s tracking confirmation.

Customers are responsible for ensuring someone is available to receive live animal deliveries.

We strive to ensure all pricing displayed on our Site is accurate.

However, pricing errors may occasionally occur. If we discover an error after an order has been placed, we reserve the right to cancel the order and issue a full refund if necessary.
