 I'm
glad you found your way into my online seed store :)
Hi, my name is
Gabriele, but like everybody else, you can call me Turtlegaby.
I am German and moved from Germany to Alabama in 2003. I quit
my German government
job with great benefits and retirement to fullfil my dream and become
self employed. shortly after my move I began selling
seeds on Ebay. I
never expected them to sell that well, but soon I had to find wholesale
seed suppliers, because my own plants didn't produce enough any more ;)
That was the time
when I first opened an Ebay store. It was very obvious for me to focus
more in the tropical and exoitc direction, since there have been
already many seed sellers of indigenous seeds. My seed business grew
and kept me busy around the clock. After 2 years, I
decided to open my own web store, where I could be more flexible with
my quantities and prices.
And here I am. You
certainly want to know, why my name is Turtlegaby....
I was passionate
about turtles already when I was a little kid. At the age of 3 I saw
the first tortoise at a neighbors yard and from that day on I spent
every minute to visit and play with this tortoise. I fell so much in
love with her, that I bothered my Mom day and night, until she finally
agreed to buy one. She was the cutest thing on earth and fit
into my little hands. I called her Mathilde.
Mathilde was the
joy of the whole family and kept us all busy. She was used to escape
and we had to find her in the big yard we had. Sometimes she burried
herself into the ground and my parents and I searched her for
hours.When
I turned 18, a friend of mine brought me as birthday present an other
tortoise. It was a male and we called him Max. Mathilde and Max got
very well along with each other, but never produced any offspring.
Well, all my friends called me Turtlegaby, because they all knew how
crazy I was about turtles. Years later, I got the chance to join the
official
turtle club in Fox, Alaska, where I became official a turtle myself
with a real ID
card.
When I opened my
Ebay account, it was very obvious for me that it had to be with the
name Turtlegaby. I guess, people liked this name, because I noticed,
that this was the most searched word in the search engines. They didn't
search for plant or seed names, they searched for Turtlegaby. Of
course, my store got the same name and so did my web store.
We
are a family operated business. While the human plants and
maintains the yard, the tortoises eat the flowers and weeds
of their interest. Here
are Daisyboy,
Cocoa and Georgy,
that I adopted 6 years ago. They are Redfoots and my whole pride.
Very
social and
tame, and always hungry. They gained already 20 times of
their original weight and are real heavy guys now.
That
is pretty much everything important about us, except that I wanted
to mention, you can buy with confidence from us. We will do our best to
please you in every aspect and we ship ultra fast. Mostly the same day
of payment received, latest the very next day.. We are an Ebay
powerseller since years and have a postive feedback score of over
16,000

And now happy shopping and thank you for visiting our online store
