5 Stars, all the way! We love our little cherry-head! We really looked around for a while, and couldn’t find a more perfect tortoise. Her colors are SO bright, and the shell is just gorgeous! She arrived just under a month old, safe and sound. We couldn’t believe how tiny she was! It didn’t take long to come “out of her shell” and show her big personality! She’s a very curious little thing. Loves mango, hates banana.

Hi first I wanna start by introducing myself since this will be my first post on the forum. The name is Ivan. So let me just jump right into this. Couple of months ago I was scrolling through Fauna classifieds and I came across A for sale post by Randy from Tort-Stork about a Insta-Hatch Egg. So my curious self clicked on the ad and proceeded to read about this phenomenal experience that Randy has to offer. So I contacted Randy via email and within 30 mins I had a reply. So Randy and I started to chat and exchange conversation he answered every question that I had. So I made decision to purchase a Sulcata egg. So I continue to keep in contact with Randy and asking him questions. So after a while of talking with Randy I decided to switch my purchase and told myself if you’re going to do this go big or go home so I decided to get a Western Hermanns from the Madonie region. So as I patiently waited for the right date to come that the eggs would be ready to be shipped I kept in contact with Randy and…well to keep it short and simple I ended up purchasing three cherry heads and another Western Hermanns egg. ? Also Purchased 2 Moroccan Greek eggs(which we’re waiting for them to be due to ship).
So the window to ship the western Hermann eggs out had arrived so on 4/22/2019 he shipped 2 Western Hermann eggs and 3 Cherry heads. They arrived on 4/23/2019. When I open the box it was full of company logo stickers and magnets. The packaging was superb, the eggs were so well packed and protected you could tell they hadn’t rolled not one bit during transit. The Cherry Heads blew me away when I saw them the quality was phenomenal And I their health was A++. As I put the cherry has to the side so I can get the eggs situated into the Incubator I saw that #60 was already hatching and #59 had already piped. So I proceeded to follow the instructions in the Care guide I received from him. After getting them set up in the incubator the experience only got better.
You see, I suffered a spinal cord injury almost 3 years ago That left me a complete quadriplegic with No sensation or function from collarbone down. I’ve been keeping and breeding reptiles all my life for as long as I can remember mainly lizards and snakes. So after my injury I gave up all my animals because I thought everything was over for me. But then one day After the injury a friend brought over a gecko for me to hold and interact with. At that moment I realized how much joy it brought me and how therapeutic it was for me And that my love and passion for reptiles Had not died despite my injury. So basically what I’m getting at and trying to say is that after being through everything I’ve been through I found out my passion and drive was still there but this time a lot bigger. Now I invest my time and energy into these animals to help me get through every day life. So with all that being said I’ll get back to the Insta-Hatch Eggs. So within an hour or so #60 had completely hatched out the egg. This amazing to watch. It made me feel good I’m so limited to things I can do, so was definitely a great accomplishment thanks to Randy. So once I saw It was completely out of the egg I proceeded to follow the next directions on the guide. when I picked it up I saw that It had no egg sack so I got concerned until Randy that was what he called a perfect hatch. So Randy stayed in touch throughout the day as I kept checking on #60 and #59(which there had been no change). On the following morning I receive the incubator to see if there was any change with #59 And to my surprise they had any been any change. I was a little bit concerned He assured me that everything was fine that it was just adjusting to the oxygen and absorbing the rest of the yolk in the sack. So I continue to check on them throughout the day and #60 Who was doing great and adjusting to the world was starting to shape up nicely. So finally sometime in the afternoon #59 popped his head out! I was so relieved and excited so at this point I was keeping an eye on the incubator I was checking on it about every 15 to 20 minutes (without opening the incubator)just because I didn’t want to miss any of the hatching part. So this little gal was taking her sweet little time to come out. So right about 9:40 PM that night I went to check on the incubator and saw that it was completely out of the egg. I was amazed I got to see it is happened twice. And I got to see the difference in the two one was darker than the other it was just an awesome experience. So I left them in the incubator for the next few days like the instructions in the guide had explained. I soaked them on the third day. And they started eating right after this soak. So I had set up a closed chamber how Randy had instructed me and had it ready to go. I consulted with Randy about moving the hatchlings over to the tub and he gave me the OK. They quickly started to explore and eat the pieces of spring mix I had spread around for them to eat. We stayed in touched and not once was there a question he didn’t answer. The Cherryheads are doing phenomenal in a outdoor tortoise box I had setup for them. Some of the best cherryheads I’ve seen around. They’re very active and lovable!!
So if I was you I wouldn’t hesitate to try this and contact him He’s a very down to earth guy and very transparent. Thanks to him and this wonderful experience he has to offer I have more joy and more to look forward to in my life. Having a SCI occur at 25 (27 now) with a wife and 2 year old son has been the hardest thing I’ve faced in life and these beautiful animals have changed that. Thank you again to Tort-Stork!!! I hope a stork will be visiting you soon and we get to hear all about it!
A+++++ Some of the best customer service I’ve had in a very long time!

I had been following some red foot breeders for a few months. When I saw how gorgeous cherry heads are, I knew that’s what I wanted. I settled on Tortstork because I had heard good things on the tortoise forums, their website is nice, and they frequently update social media with hatchling pics. And now I finally have my hatchling!
I’m super happy with my new baby cherry head! I got to pick him out from pictures, but he’s even more adorable and colorful in real life. He was shipped on a Monday and arrived Tuesday morning. He was active straight out of the box and within the first ten minutes in his new enclosure, he was already eating dandelion and collards. He took a nap, explored, ate some more, then went to bed. During his day 2 soak, the new baby let out a few cute little hiss-hisses when we startled him, but he didn’t hide and he was okay with us handling him for a little bit. I’m so excited to see him grow and become my lifelong buddy!

After doing extensive research for reputable vendors I was confident Tortstork was my best option and I could not be happier with the decision! From the first email thru receiving my little beauty, Randy was available and very informative. My little Cherryhead arrived in perfect condition and was active and eating within minutes of being in its new home!

Could not be more pleased with this tortoise and transaction process, from before the sale with helpful advice and information, to quickly receiving a rock-solid, well-started tank of a hatchling, to prompt replies to any post-sale questions. I’d recommend Randy to anyone looking for a great animal, and look forward to purchasing another animal through him.

I honestly wouldn’t recommend anyone other than Tortstork/Randy. Randy knows his tortoises, and is willing to help you learn. He is very patient, and understanding. Without him I wouldn’t have my dream tortoise, and im VERY glad i was recommended to him. His hatchlings are started the right way, so you dont have to worey about them Bbeing too dry. He feeds them a varied diet. He takes insanely good care of his torts and I would 1000% purchase from him again.

The pair of Cherry heads I received from Randy are strong and healthy, as I expected.
I have gotten several hatchlings and eggs from Randy and it’s always the same great service and passion. He goes the extra mile to help you as you raise the hatchling and has been a wealth of knowledge and help.
I would recommend TortStork to everyone! Don’t be scared to hatch your own, he will give you perfect instructions to hatch a wonderful tortoise.

Randy is outstanding to work with. You can tell he just wants to sell quality animals. His customer service is fantastic. Randy shipped my little cherry head on a Tuesday night. FedEx said that it would arrive the next day by noon. Well it didn’t… I was Devastated and freaking out to say the least. Randy texted and talked me through those few days when we didn’t know what was going to happen. Would the tortoise come deceased? Would it show up at al? He reassured me that he packs the animals very well and that the little guy will be living when he arrives. My tortoise finally arrived that Friday around 9 AM. Randy was right! He was packed sooo well and was just fine when I took him out. Randy runs a great business. Also, his information sheet walked me through owning a baby cherry head. I’m so excited to have my little guy at home!
Jamie (verified owner) –

This is the 3rd tortoises (herman, cherry head, leopard) that I bought from tortstork. All of them are healthy and active. Randy’s answer all my questions. There was one time I placed order at 2:45am and I was so suprised that he reponsed back to me within 15’. I wonder if he sleeps at all :)) haha… I will definitely recommend tortstork to all people I know and will purchase 1 more.

Tortstork is amazing! My little cherry head tortoise arrived safe and sound overnight. It is the the most beautiful little creature. I followed the instructions provided upon arrival and it was ready to eat and explore it’s new home. I am so thrilled about this new addition! Thank you, Tortstork. I highly recommend Tortstork! Tortstork provides exceptional care and service and Randy’s knowledge is invaluable! Thanks again!
Valeen (verified owner) –
Highly recommended!!! Ordering from Tortstork had been, by far, the easiest online purchase I have ever experienced! Randy is very professional, trustworthy, and prompt when responding to messages. My cherry head was even prettier in person, it’s active and healthy-the tortoise was obviously well cared for by Randy. If you’re looking for a high quality and healthy tortoise, look no further!

I shopped for a long time before I decided on buying my baby Cherry from TortStork. The professionalism, friendliness of the prople that work there are outstanding. My little “Harley” came eout of tie box and after a soaking went into his crate and starting eating right away. He walked around his new condo and was pretty active until he got tired and needed a nap.
I am very happy with my new baby boy and would recommend anyone looking for a quality tortoise to consider TORTSTORK
Thank you very much.

My niece told me about Tortstork so I started following them on Instagram and communicating with them and was very impressed with their response. They have so many choices I finally decided on a Cherry head redfoot , and now my Leopard tortoise will have a friend. Thanks again for all the help

The Cherry Head arrived warm and ready to eat! Randy answered all my questions and worked with me to ensure the tortoise arrived healthy and safely. Thank you!
John Severio (verified owner) –
Excellent service and a outstanding animal. I’ve purchased many tortoises and turtles via breeders over the years and quality can be waning and it’s always a gamble if the animal will be well started and healthy out the box. No worries here. As soon as I received it and gave a soak, he was fully active and alert and after eagerly eating he was off and exploring. Will definitely purchase here again the few tortoises still on my dream list that he produces.
Ashley Grayson (verified owner) –
This was our 2nd tortoise we purchased from Randy, and 4th tortoise overall. Once again, we were completely thrilled with our experience! The baby was eating and drinking within an hour of arriving. We’re in love!

I placed an order for two hatchlings. They arrived extremely fast and once unboxed , they began to drink and eat right away. I emailed the company with a few questions prior to placing my order and Randy responded very promptly and professionally. I Highly recommend TortStork.com because the entire process was smooth and most importantly the tortoises arrived healthy . I couldn’t ask for a better experience.
