    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 still have 1 beautiful, healthy baby Russian tortoise available for $185 plus overnight shipping that I would like to ship out in the next month before the next round of eggs hatches. I incubate at 89 degrees F, which should result in females.
Here is a picture from yesterday:

This beautiful little one hatched at the beginning of November, and has been fed with healthy weeds and flowers, and soaked daily. We had a mild winter, so she has had natural sunlight since February several times each week. I start my babies in a slightly humid environment for healthy shell growth.

Please send me a PM if you are interested.

This baby tortoise is ready to ship. Pick-up in Vancouver, WA is also an option. I have created a good care sheet that I am happy to send you (also available on my Tortoise blog and on the Tortoise Forum). The Mom is very large, and both parents are gorgeous, golden-yellow and very domed.

Here are a few more pics:
