    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've got a 10yr old female leopard tortoise thats about 13". She has recently been nesting a bit and we've always been interested in breading her. However, we're not able to afford a sexually mature male right now so I was curious if anyone studs leopard tortoises. Would there be a stud fee, like horses, or would they just get pick of the litter like dogs? Does anyone do this or know someone that does?
 
since you are in plano, you should check out tortshack.com or tortoiseutopia.com. Kelly runs tortshack.com and is a great guy. he's in mckinney. Ryan runs tortoiseutopia.com and he's in waxahachie. both are tort breeders and have several different species. they might be able to help you or at least point you in the right direction. good luck!
 
People do breeding loans all the time, you just have to find the right person who trusts you with their tortoise. I have loaned out and also received animals on loan several times.
