We No Longer Sell Tortoises
Warning: Scammers Are Using Our Photos
Scammers have been stealing photos from this website and our official Facebook page to fraudulently sell tortoises in Facebook groups and other online platforms.
Soda's Tortoise Garden no longer sells tortoises and will never publicly advertise tortoises for sale. If you see anyone using our photos to sell tortoises, they are not us. Please report those accounts immediately.
Our only official Facebook page is facebook.com/sodatort. We do not sell through Facebook groups or any unofficial platform.
Never send money online without first seeing the actual animal in person. Always meet the seller, inspect the tortoise yourself, and verify that the seller is legitimate and properly permitted.
About Captive-Bred Tortoises in the Philippines
Locally bred tortoises are often healthier and better adjusted than imported ones. Imported tortoises may experience heavy stress during transport and may be exposed to parasites, bacteria, or disease. Some are sold as captive-bred even when they come from questionable or unethical sources, and some may even be illegally poached.
This is why scams like these are so dangerous. Buyers may end up with a sick tortoise, an illegally sourced animal, or no animal at all. Always verify the seller before making any purchase.
