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.

    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....

Available is a rarely offered albino Southern Painted Turtle, approximately 2½ inches in shell length (see photos). This is a captive-bred 2025 individual that is well past the delicate hatchling stage and doing exceptionally well. Very healthy, alert, and feeding aggressively on a varied diet including Mazuri aquatic turtle pellets, Mazuri small crocodile chow, bloodworms, Omega One pellets, and shrimp pellets. Strong feeding response and steady growth.





As most keepers know, there is a major difference between fragile hatchlings and well-started juveniles—this individual has made it through the more sensitive early development phase and is showing strong growth with emerging coloration, and should continue to develop color as it matures. Albino Southern Painted Turtles are not commonly available, especially at this size and level of establishment.





Shipping is $90 to the continental U.S. or $20 within Hawaii. Additional photos available upon request. Serious inquiries only.





Per federal regulations regarding turtles under 4 inches, this animal is sold for scientific, educational, or exhibition purposes only, and not intended for use as a pet. Buyer is responsible for compliance with all applicable laws.
