    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hi All,
I have a year old female Redfoot Tortoise that is 8" straight shell length. I was wondering when she would be big enough and old enough to breed. I live in Houston, and the climate is great for redfoots. Humid days, warm temps, and tons of green vegetation. She should breed pretty easy since these conditions are much like her home climate. I was also wondering how people who keep their torts outside & breed them deal with egg laying. Do you just watch them as much as possible to see when they lay, or are there other methods? Thanks allot for all the info.
