    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 just completed a transaction with Alex and it was a really good one. I purchased a pair of Greek tortoises from a group. Alex was very responsive to all of my questions, and he invested a lot of time in providing me with information about the animals. He also sent lots of pictures to aid in answering my questions and helping me to 'cherry pick' a pair. I've never had this kind of personal attention before when purchasing animals over the internet. Alex is very honest and a really nice guy. I'll purchase from him again with full confidence and I'd recommend him to anyone.

BTW the tortoises I received from him are sweeeeet!

Recently purchased a small group of animals from Alex Van Nostrand ([email protected]). Bottom line, Alex was nothing but kind, helpful, and honest. The transaction was seamless.

As a business practitioner, Alex exhibited:

-Fair and realistic pricing
-Highly communicative and easy to work with
-Honest about his stock

I would not hesitate to do business with him again.

Got some new tortoises delivered today from Alex. Great guy to buy from. Sent tons of picks and steered me to picking some nice tortoises. Couldn't be happier with the service I got.
