    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....

I have 2 Indian Stars that are at, or nearing 100 grams. Both tortoises have minimal pyramiding, are voracious eaters and are unrelated. Both were incubated at 89 and are sold as unsexed.

Diet:
Fed a variety of greens/dried herbs, ground up orchard grass, Mazuri original 2x/week, calcium carbonate weekly and herptivite monthly. They do not get vegetables, fruit or any other inappropriate foods.

Housing/Husbandry:
Housing in a closed chamber setup with temperatures cold side 83-86 and hot side 95-105 with humidity levels never dropping below 90%. Soaked every day for 30 minutes directly under an Arcadia T5 12% UVB fluorescent bulb.

Star 1: Weight is 95 grams currently

Star 2: Weight is 103 grams currently

Price: $1,200 FOR BOTH tortoises plus shipping

Location: Gainesville, FL. Willing to meet within 1 hour (60-90 miles) of my location.

Payments accepted: Venmo, Zelle, cash, or trade for egyptian hatchlings.

Terms of sale:

I provide honest, open and upfront communication concerning my animals. Animals are guaranteed to be absolutely healthy and rock-solid. Please note live arrival is guaranteed except for carriers delays/mishandling. When shipped, if an animal arrives DOA, you must video conference with me (pictures will NOT suffice) within 1 hour of the timestamp of when the animal was delivered or you, showing me the animal and the packaging it was delivered in. If you are not present when the animal is delivered, my guarantee is completely void. I reserve the right to either refund you or discuss replacing the animals with others in my group. By purchasing from me you agree to the terms of sale, thanks.

All animals under 4 inches are for educational, research or zoological purposes only and not for personal pets.
