• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    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....

11" Aldabra. Amazing eater. Has grown nearly 6 fold in weight since March 2020(last photo is growth rates from the digital chelonian log by theTurtleRoom).

Asking $4,000 plus overnight shipping or $3700 local pickup in Connecticut.

His/her primary diet is:
Orchard grass pellets
Hibiscus leaves and flowers
Opuntia Cactus
Plantain
Purple dead nettle
Dandelion
Mazuri LS (every other week)
Other seasonal weeds

S/He will eat pretty much anything you put in the enclosure.

He is soaked 5 days a week to help ensure smooth growth. He came in a little lumpy last march but all growth since has been smooth.

Any questions please feel free to email me at [email protected] or text at 203 231 2265

Here is a history video of his/her care under me.
