    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....

Frozen tortoises for scientific preservation. Also would take empty shells with loose scutes that can be reattached.

Currently looking for the following adult species;

Indotestudo(1.1) forstenii
Indotestudo(1.1) travancorica
Kinixys(1.1) erosa
Kinixys(1.1) lobatsiana
Kinixys(1.1) spekii
Aldabra (1.1)
Chelonoidis chilensis (1.1)
Centrochelys sulcata (0.1) adult female specimen
Testudo marginata (1.1)
Testudo kleinmanni (0.1) adult female

If you have a species other than listed above, please email me with the species, sex and age. May still be interested.

Remember I would also take older shells as long as any loose scutes are accounted for. We can repair and restore the shell.

Can afford to pay small fee plus packaging & shipping.
