    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....

2023 100% het for albino Reeve's turtles (reevesii)

Sold. Thank you kindly.

CBB

1 for 600 shipped if paid for via Square or Zelle
2 for 1150 shipped if paid for via PayPal or Zelle
3 for 1700 shipped if paid via PayPal (now defunct due to low stock)
3 for 1500 shipped if paid for via Zelle (now defunct due to low stock)
Will consider offers on a larger group (up to ten). (now defunct due to low stock)



These are from an albino male bred to a wild type (aka normal/non-morph) female. The sire is itty bitty. The dam has some heft to her. I am including two images of the sire of these hatchlings. The males of this species, even when talking about morphs, can change color to a degree during the breeding season. Regular males turn jet black. Obviously, not so extreme for the albino types. The sire is not available since he is currently a core piece of the project. This ad is solely for the 100% het offspring. The amount of hets I can offer this year is limited and I have held several back for the sake of the project.

Other than a project partner (Brett Howell) and I, I am not aware of anyone else producing legitimate het for albino reevesii in the US. That could change someday, but that someday is not today, so be careful about people trying to give you a financial shiv in the form of fake hets.

Feeding on pellets (Reptomin sticks) for simplicity. You can feed them basically anything that is food, though. It is an omnivorous and cold-hardy species that stays pretty small in most cases. If you cannot keep a Reeve's turtle properly, there is probably no turtle option for you and you should instead keep photographs of turtles.



Any buyer is expected to have done his/her research prior to making contact, as it shows intellectual investment in the well-being of the animal(s).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TOS:

Shipping and LAG:

I ship via Reptile Express (which utilizes Fed-Ex). If there is adverse weather involved, we will wait for a safer shipping window as warranted. Contact me at nickolasanastasiou at yahoo dot com if you are interested in purchasing. I offer a live arrival guarantee if you are present to receive. If there is a DOA situation, I expect multiple hi-res photos adequately displaying the condition within an hour of receipt (and I may require the corpse/corpses to be sent back to me; you will be compensated for this if it happens). If there is a discrepancy in description, I expect to be made aware of it within the day it is received (in which case, I will issue you a full refund upon safe return of the animal/animals to me). Animals under 4" scl are not sold as pets. Contiguous 48 only (I actually can ship to HI or AK, but there may be additional costs involved that the buyer would have to cover).

Shipping is about $75 most of the time. Sometimes I save two bucks and sometimes I lose ten over the included number, so $75 is what I settle at for smaller animals. I suppose I could meet up with someone closer and chop the shipping off, but it would have to be a convenient location for me and I am ONLY chopping the shipping off for a meet-up. The distance you traverse has zero bearing on this cost reduction. Larger animals cost a heap more to ship, so that incorporated cost is steeper.

Contact:

Email me at nickolasanastasiou at yahoo dot com or [email protected] (which redirects to my Yahoo! account anyway) if you are interested in purchasing. I am usually busy between work, perhaps school, care for my menagerie, more work, family stuff, and yet more work, so email works best for me. Deal discussions are to be conducted through email. Since I use Fauna private messages for site-related communications, I am unlikely to respond to PMs about animals in my ads. It also implies the person either did not read or did not care about what was written.

Payment:

All non-local sale prices have shipping cost, packaging, and any miscellaneous fees/costs built in for buyer convenience except where otherwise indicated (usually for much larger individuals). What you see is what you get. Payment plans are no longer accepted. If only a portion of the total due is sent to me and I have not explicitly agreed to that, I reserve the right to refund you and refuse sale. If an offer is made and I accept it with a time frame involved for payment, a lapse of said time frame without any delivery of payment typically means the agreement has been invalidated (for example, if you say you are going to pay me [amount] on [date] and I agree to that, the deal is basically void if [date] passes and payment has not been sent) unless we both agree to the renegotiation of the payment window and there are no communication deficits.

Sexing:

Unsexed animals, probable sexes, and temp-sexed animals have no associated guarantees as to a specific sex. A probable male/female appears to be so at the time, but has not necessarily reached full maturity, so there is room for error. A TSF or TSM label is subject to the performance of accurate TSD and that is a shift of probability in favor of a particular sex (it often works out, but occasionally does not; such is the chance we all take). A guaranteed sex is, as stated, guaranteed. If an animal of guaranteed sex ends up revealing itself to be not of the purchased and explicitly declared sex (with sufficient evidence sent to me) down the road, it can be returned to me in a healthy state for a full refund (the general practice) or, if you are attached emotionally, we may be able to do a partial refund based on current market prices while you retain the animal.

Trades:

I prefer sales to trades in almost all cases. Not seeking trades at this time.

One of the holdback TSMs hatched in mid-late June of this year looks like he is about to reveal himself as a visually confirmed male with another half-inch or so of linear growth. Slightly under two months old. This is a holdback, so he is not for sale.
