    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....

Hello,

After working with the species for nearly two decades, I'm excited to share that this year finally brought my first successful hatches for the species!

We're making these four well-started Radiateds available to conservation-minded keepers. At least three of these are emerging high-color animals, which I've personally always defined as Radiateds possessing horizontal banding on their costal scutes. The fourth will also very likely develop the same. Two bloodlines are represented in these four.

These have been raised in a humid chamber environment, bathed daily since hatching, and fed a variety of wild greens (dandelion, broadleaf and ribwort plantains, clover, mulberry, rose of sharon [flowers and leaves], grape leaves, birdsfoot trefoil, etc.), supplemented twice weekly with moistened Mazuri Tortoise Food LS.

$2,250 each and available to CBW Permit-holders. If in New York, the CBW is not required; however, keepers will be required to possess the NYS DEC's Endangered/Threatened Species License (application found here) prior to any transfer. Within NY, in-person hand-offs may be made out of either Buffalo or Albany.

Thanks for Looking,

Tony
