    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 am beyond excited to announce that I have teamed up with "Les Village des Tortues" (Turtle Village/S.O.P.TO.M.) IN Gonfaron, France and have created an exclusive T-shirt to help preserve the Western Hermann's tortoise (Testudo hermanni hermanni). The shirt, which features a front and back, is printed on an Ash Heather Grey color and has one of our tortoises on the front, and both our logo and SO.P.T.O.M.'s logo on the back. We have donated a large number of these shirts to them already to be sold in their gift shop for full profit. On top of that, for every single shirt we sell on our site as well as at Reptile related events, an additional donation is made to them.

T. h. hermanni are in danger in their native land and are still poorly understood in captivity. It is incredible to be able to be a part of helping them in the wild now after working with them here for years.

Please head over to http://www.gardenstatetortoise.com to place an order for the shirts and help support a great cause.

The shirts were designed by our own Casey Jean and they really came out great.

Thanks to all in advance!!
