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....

My last ditch effort to sell it here to an enthusiast before it goes to some local source (which Im not that excited about).

Hypomelanistic Redfoot tortoise purchased from JD at the Tortoise Cove in December 2014. I can provide all the lineage he provided me regarding its parentage. Since I have recieved him, he has thrived. Eating anything really- including all types of greens and "weeds", hibiscus, egg, mealworms, cactus pad, mazuri (moistened), fruit. And is very personable. If he sees me coming near the enclosure he comes over looking for food.

Obviously Id like to get what this animal is worth, but I'd also like to give him a home that is deserving. Someone who understands what his bloodline and value is, and will also give him proper care. The local source who is willing to purchase him is a retailer, and Im quite confidant this is a flip item, which makes me less happy about the whole thing.

Hatchlings go for $2000 and up as fresh young hatchlings. I am asking $2000 shipped Fedex overnight in the continental US for an established healthy yearling+.

Anal scutes. *NOTE*- Ive been calling this animal a "he" throughout the description- I MAKE NO GUARANTEES OF SEX. In my opinion, still too young to sex. However, gun to my head, my moneys on male.

Thank you Sir! Its pretty amazing how much they grow and how much you *DONT* notice when you see them everyday. In looking back over measuremnet from when I forst got him, the growth has been enormous, I just have "noticed" it.
