"Marc Cantos of The TURTLE SOURCE, has been an exhibitor at the National Reptile Breeders' Expo for many years and I have never seen him display a reptile that was not 1st class. The majority of turtles I have purchased in the last 5 years have come from Marc and I have been very pleased with both the quality of the reptiles and service I have received."

-Wayne Hill, Director National Reptile Breeder's Expo

"I've been dealing with Marc from The Turtle Source for close to 10 years now, and I cannot imagine any dealer who could be more honest or have more integrity than Marc. I would not think twice about recommending him to ANYONE who's looking for quality turtles at reasonable prices."

-Paul Vander Schouw

"I did business with Marc Cantos of The Turtle Source for many years and many times, he always was a honest stand up business partner no matter selling or buying. His animals always met my standards and arrived properly packed and on time. He knows about his turtles and tortoises, and was willing to answer my questions. He is definitely one of the good guys in the business and I will do business with him anytime or recommend him to anyone."

-George Ullman, Turtle World USA

" I have known Marc at The Turtle Source for many years. He is a true hand-on turtle guy! I have seen his breeding set-ups and find them to be excellent. Marc's breeding success says it all. He has mastered most species he worked with. In today's world of declining turtles and increasing regulations anyone breeding quality turtles to the extent Marc is, should be encouraged. This will help relieve pressure on wild populations, and to continue the availability of these beautiful creatures for future turtle-loving generations! "

- Bill McCord DVM

"Before I stumbled upon Marc from The Turtle Source, I was paying way too much money for average turtles. When I received my first juvenile NA Wood turtle from Marc, its colors were so vibrant it made my others look like mud. To this day, my turtles from Marc are the prizes of my collection. Marc doesn't sell "junk animals", and unfortunately there are a lot of "junk animals" out there. On another occasion, a full 6 months after receiving a Blandings turtle from Marc, he was ready with full attention to help me with a serious problem that had arisen. Others would have ignored the telephone calls, or told me to take a hike."

-Ken Sopher

" Hello, I just recently I purchased a high color redfoot tortoise from Marc at The Turtle Source. I have to say "What Service". Marc was very easy to deal with and every single time I had a question (there were many) he always answered fast and with the info I needed. I honestly have never met anyone so willing to help!! I have kept reptiles for years and delt with many people who just wanted to make a sale and be done with it. This is NOT the case with the Turtle Source!! Marc has some of the best looking tutles/tortoises out there and he's willing to help, something that is rare in the reptile industry! If your looking for a great looking turtle/torotise look no further! The Turtle Source is the place to go. I'm loving my redfoot! Thanks Marc for everything! "

-George Panagos.

" Everything you read in these testimonials is true! Before recently becoming a customer I emailed Marc for advice on a species he doesn't even offer and I received several different emails from him with insightful advice I could use. So I decided to become a customer and I must say the turtles and service he provides are a cut above! "

-Tony Savage

"I was unsure about where to purchase my turtles when I started researching. I just knew that I wanted map turtles. I called Marc and he was not only able to give me the information I needed to help my turtles do well but he did it with great customer service! I have recommended Marc to several people and will continue to do so, because he no only knows what he is talking about but he truly cares about the turtles he is sending out to people. Thanks Marc!! "

"I've ordered reptiles from Marc at The Turtle Source for over three years now. I get a shipment from Marc about every two months or so. I cannot think of a time when I was ever disappointed. Marc has always been tolerant and willing to cater to my shenanigans and eccentricities.

I think it's safe to define the quality of Marc's turtles and the efficiency of the overall business experience with Marc by saying: You will find out, like many others, that Marc delivers quite a "punch" in the turtle industry. I don't think Marc will have any problem "knocking out" the competition."

" I just received 2 beautiful sulcatas from Marc at the Turtle Source. He was very helpful every bit of the way. His honesty, even after the sale, scored a bunch of points with us. "

-Tim McMahon

"Comments: I HAVE BEEN IN LOVE AND INVOLVED WITH TURTLES FOR YEARS AND HAVE COME ACROSS GOOD PEOPLE. MARCUS IS GOT TO BE THE FINEST AND FAIREST THERE IS! HIS PERSONAL INTEGRITY WAS A PLEASURE TO WORK WITH. HE HELPED ME WITH EVERY STEP OF THE WAY WHEN I BOUGHT MY WOOD TURTLES. IF EVERYONE WAS LIKE THE TURTLE SOURCE TO WORK WITH....MORE PEOPLE WOULD COME OUT OF THEIR SHELLS! "

-Marcy Jackson

" Marc at The Turtle Source is one of the only few people I ever do business with and for the past 3 years he has never disappointed me. I personally got the privilege to see his whole collection in person and I can vouch for his web site pictures are 100% all natural, no photoshoping at all, his turtles and tortoises are BEAUTIFUL. Seeing his set ups just puts you in awe, just plain amazing. Over all Marc is a great guy, and always a pleasure to do business with. Thanks for everything Marc, Lindsay and I can't wait to see you guys at the Daytona show this summer. Thanks!!!!!!!!!"

-Mitch Friedenberg, Turtle breeder

" My experience with Marc, the owner of The Turtle Source, has made buying a tortoise online easy. I first purchased a high color Red-footed Tortoise back in February. When the tortoise arrived the temp was 28 degrees Faranheit, and I placed the redfoot in his new home. Within five minutes of being out the box, Mango was eating away like nothing ever happened. My next purchase was a nine week old Indian star Tortoise. While researching Star Tortoises, I heard how Stars don't come out of their shell or may not eat until two weeks after entering their enclosure and so on. I wanted to give a Star a try and like clockwork Marc picked up the phone. While on the phone with Marc, we viewed the Star Tortoise selection. After choosing a 1.75 inch Indian Star, she arrived the next morning at ten o'clock. Almost instantly my star was cruising around the 20L and ripping dandilion greens and muzuri chow. It's been a pleasure doing business with Marc. He is always there to answer any questions. "

-Dave Hirshberg

"I've recently purchased a small red footed tortoise from The Turtle Source. I must say that I am truly pleased not only with the customer service that I received but also the high quality and health of my new little tortoise. Marc went the extra mile to make sure that I was completely satisfied. Once you receive a turtle or tortoise from The Turtle Source, you won't want to go anywhere else. Thanks so much. "

-Katie Flick

" I am a novice turtle owner and was reluctant to purchase on the internet. However, after reading about others wonderful experiences with Marc-I gave him a shot.He was extremely helpful in aiding me finding an appropriate turtle and answering my millions of questions. Little Sly Croom, a Common Musk turtle arrived today, very healthy, active, hungry, and FEISTY! I have already spent an hour watching him do turtle stuff. He is just gorgeous. Marc, thank you. I recommend Turtle Source to anyone interested in turtles-novice or expert-Marc can help with anything and you can tell he loves his turtles! "

-Sarah Graves, Psychologist/Novice Turtle Owner

" I have never dealt with a more punctual seller than Turtle Source. Everything was exactly as stated. They are more than helpful if you have any questions about set-up, maitenance, and overall care. Their servicce has put all others I've dealt with to shame. The quality of the turtle was also top-notch, not a single flaw seen. Next time I buy, it will surely be from the Turtle Source. Why waste my time looking for a quality turtle, when I already know where to find them. Buy from them without the worry of a let down upon arrival, knowing you are getting what you paid for. Keep it up guys, you rock!!!!! "

-Rob K, Massachusetts

"I ordered a red foot tortoise from your company and she arrived in beautiful condition. Marcus followed up immidiately after delivery to check on the toroises arrival. Excellent service, highly recommended and look forward to further purchases in the future.. "

-Todd Landvik

"Forget that the animals were perfect , the packaging and handling show a true respect for the animals."

-Allan Burnett

"I have known Marc now for many years and raise Turtles myself. It is always a pleasure to talk to him about any problems you might experience in captive breeding. You can see his eyes light up when you talk about some of the species he has produced. He has always been very helpful with recommending small tips on his experience with a special turtle of my interest. I would highly recommend Marc to anyone being a professional or the novice. "

-Carl A Leibrandt

"Comments: First time buying a turtle online. And I must admit, I was a little worried at first. After talking to someone from The Turtle Source, I definitely felt more confident. I would definitely recommend my family, friends, pretty much anyone to Marc at The Turtle Source. If I even wanted another turtle at a good price for the best quality, I will definitely come back to Marc. "

-Gary D., Ohio, Great Service

"Comments: I AM SO GLAD I ORDERED FROM MARC, HE IS GREAT HE ANSWERES ALL MY QUESTIONS. THE TURTLES ARE PACKED WONDERFULLY TO ENSURE THEIR SAFETY AND VERY HEALTHY. I AM ACTUALLY ORDERING MORE NOW. I PREVIOUSLY ORDERED TURTLES FROM ANOTHER SELLER, BUT I WILL STICK WITH MARC NOW. "

-Rachel Smith

"Hi, I just purchased my first turtle from the Turtle Source.Marc answered all my questions quickly. He told me everything I needed to get started. My Razorback musk arrived by 10 am the next day, bright eyed and hungry. In fact the little guy is an eating machine. I totally recommend the Turtle Source and will be purchasing my first tortoise from him. "

-Christine Blake

"Comments: I once ordered 2 turtles from a place called turtlesxxxx and they had a bad case of ''soft shell''. They died. Then I ordered tutles from Marc and was very happy with them. This truly is the best place to find healthy beautiful turtles.Keep up the good work!"

-Cameron

"Marc at the Turtle Source has been a pleasure to work with. Not only did he help me with choosing and caring for tortoises, but also his honesty and true love for the reptiles is seen through his thorough knowledge. I received my Marginated Tortoise today, on time, as planned, and boy is she beautiful! Active and healthy as guaranteed. I know where to go in the future, not only for turtles and tortoises, but also for any question I need answered. Way to go Turtle Source! "

-Reilly Noetzel

" Marc at The Turtle Source is one to offer a variety of healthy and rare turtles. He produces several of each species each year. If I was able to, I would try and buy every turtle he has. Marc is very knowledgeable and is a good person to purchase from. Great web site as well. "
