    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.

    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 couldn't find anything on this shop here, but about 2 weeks ago i bought 7 turtles from this guy and i was actually happy. Usually when i leave a pet shop i feel bad for the animals but this time i was relieved. All of them are happy healthy specimens. He was a knowledgeable guy who knew turtles well. He had alot of other herps but i wasn't interested in them so i didn't really check them out, but they all had huge cages. His prices were super cheap too. all and all it was the first time i have left a pet shop happy and relieved to see them in good care. He is in vegas so he was not that far from me, in phoenix. I recamend this shop to everyone. GOOD GUY.
 
I have to go for a bit but if you have any info as to how and where to become a legal petcare provider I am very interested. I love turtles. I have been keeping them since i was first able to read the books on them, lol. I have sent out a couple tortoises before threw a friend of mine who sells snakes and other herps on the net, but id like to become more self reliant and to become a good provider of healthy turtles, legally. I don't want to be considered a turtle pimp or sidewalk seller. I have all kinds of turtles i breed and keep my self. Any info would be great. I loved some of your posts and thought you are very well informed, that is why i decided to bother you first sir. I am also interested in trying to start an American studbook for the heosemys grandis , I keep a trio myself and am a member of its euro forum.
 
i have to agree i have done numerous trades with ken and the animals are always top notvh
 
I can't post enough good things about Ken Foose. He is an exceptional man I have done so much business with him. I was just in his shop yesterday and even with it being a busy normal Saturday he was quick to help me himself

Ordered a baby peach throat monitor from Exotic Pets last year...it was a beautiful specimen and they were very quick and efficient with the transaction.
 
I even volunteered to go to a conference at nearby Nellis AFB last year just so I could detour and stop by. Ended up getting a nice 1.0 Cuban boa for my female.
