    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....

CBB 2022 South African Giant Leopard Tortoises (Stigmochelys pardalis "pardalis").

Produced here, from my adult colony of Fife & Limburg line adults.

These are more cold tolerant than the northern form (my adults are unfazed by temps in the high 50s low 60s).

This form is also known to grow quite large, with my adults range from 40-55lbs each.

Unlike sulcata tortoises these won't dig up and ruin your yard. The perfect large pet tortoise.

I have a full care sheet on my website.

These are my last 3 babies for 2022

Babies are $350 each + shipping. (2 left)
I have one baby with a split scute for $300 + shipping
