    **************************************************
    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....

Just curious why your ad does not disclose the sex of this animal or show a pic if the plastron
I can take plastron pics and post in case anyone wants to guess their sexes. If I can get some time I'll have them endoscoped. There is a lot of mating behavior in the group but I haven't seen anything to absolutely confirm sex.
 
Okay I'm not trying to get combative but you are claiming to have an adult. If it is truly an adult anyone who works with this species can tell the sex.

It's ok. I have had radiata for over 15 years and tortoises in general over 35. I dont sell, breed, or "work" with them. I have nutritional knowledge. I have very expensive indoor and outdoor facilities. I love them. I do not plan to breed. I can certainly guess on sex but wouldn't guarantee. I have different sizes. The few adults I'm referring to I'm going off size and age not by breeding and/or egg production. So these are not confirmed breeding adults. Maybe I should change my ad wording and just show weight measurements and plastrons. I have never sold tortoises but I do know radiata are in a different category...It's ok if you don't believe me. I can sell them or not. They're a lot of work and I'm getting older.
