    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....

These guys are top notch and from right here in Maricopa County/Fountain Hills, Az. You don't see these very often! Enjoy! :)​

i am almost right there with ya. i have 2 rescue baby sulcatas and love them. id really really love to be able to get a desert tortoise though !!!
 
With some serious luck Ryan; I'll have some Mojave DT's in the next couple seasons sir. I got ya covered for the Grand Total of FREE BUCKS since I can do nothing else with these little buggers... I have a pair of Mojo DT's, both breedable and now these Sonoran's... So stoked on these kids! Torts are soooo sweet to own! Or should I say; let own us! lol.
 
oh man, sweet. im in. i want want a dt soooooo bad. i just think they are sweet. i love my sulcatas, but something about more native tortoises than way across the ocean(s).

thanks man, keep me posted on the breeding

Unfortunately, that is a negative on that my friend. It is a crime, I believe, for an Az. resident to do anything other than "give" these to anybody. I have a pair of Mojave DT's and now 4 Sonoran's in the family. I have been searching/waiting yearssssss for these kids! I really recommend these types of DT's. Super personable and bulletproof! Bad news is, you do not see them anywhere offered for sale. Good luck in your hunt! :)
 
If you know where to look you can find anything...ya might pay out the @#$ for it, but you can still find it.

Only guy in NJ I could think of would be Chris L....maybe ask him about getting 1
