    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....

1.1 adult Testudo marginata (Marginated tortoises) from Albania.

These are jet black, text-book looking marginata with locality data.

Imported by me, unrelated to any other of the species in the USA and to my knowledge they are the only known ones here from Albania.
I’m only parting with this one pair and no others from this Albanian group.

The male is a fantastic, typical breeder for this species and the female lays a typical 4 clutches per season. They brumate naturally here from early December until February or March.

A fantastic, cold hardy, severely underrated species.
This pair is robust, rock solid and a joy to work with.

I’m looking to ship early next week and will not be shipping for an extended amount of time after that, so, if interested, please act fast.

Prices at $1,650 SHIPPED for the pair. Pair only, will not separate these at all.

No trades.

Serious inquiries may email me at: [email protected]

Exact pair pictured.
