• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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....

Heres a good one for a pro. I bought a pair of tortoise, with no information- other than "black foot tortoise".
Are these two red foots that are solid black? I cant decide.
They are 3 1/2". The edging of the shell is scalloped, and close up there is slight pattern on the shells like swirls.

They look like Burmese black mountain torts (Manouria emys phayrei). The pectoral scutes are different in the Burmese brown (Manouria emys emys) subspecies.
 
I agree. Burmese Mt. If you want to ask an expert look up Vic Morgan on Kingsnake.com. I've been considering purchasing this species for a while and his name comes up everywhere.
