Ok. Recently my baby Chinese Golden Thread Passed away due to things beyond my control. Here in Alberta, turtles are so rare to find and so damn expensive. CGT are roughly $300-$600 depending where you get them. I found a very cool and clean and nice fish store that nobody has heard about and i got my little guy for only $100. He was super healthy when i got him. Anyways I was wondering if anybody has heard of websites that ship to Canada? I don't really have a preference anymore to which species just hopefully not a RES i already have 2 of those. but i have 2 turtles and a third empty tank and would like a little guy. Theturtlesource.com says they do not export but they work with people that do export and i was also wondering if anybody knew how that worked at all? Or if anyone knows where i can order one online in Canada? Thank You! :D

What about Big Al's? I order once or twice a year from their US store, I think they are mainly Canada-based.

Also keep an eye out for reptile expos in your area. Might have to stock up on supplies if thats a better option.

I missed a reptile expo in my City by one day and it was so upsetting! I have a big als in my city! They have the $400 baby CGT! Thanks tho maybe their website will spur something up. It's also illegal to sell any Map,sliders,painteds,snappers, and many others. Any turtle that can go into hibernation below freezing pretty much. It's not illegal to own just to sell... So it's quite hard to find any turtles!

Just a clarification, I've ordered supplies.. not live turtles. Have you check King Snake classifieds?
