    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....

If you are looking for a reputable breeder who truly care about his star tortoises please do not hesitate to contact this breeder. I have had a truly pleasant experience dealing with this guy. I recently (december) purchased two babies from him. And being that it was too cold to ship them he graciously held on to them for me until the weather was right. He sends you pictures and updates, and passionately tells you all about the little babies you are taking home. I opened up my little ones in the mail this morning. The packaging was superb, and you could tell a lot of love and time went into it. Each baby was in their own satchel, and nestled in a plastic box with a heat pad that was still warm. Even a little decorative scarf was placed between the Styrofoam and the container for cushion. But as we all know, Anything can happen in shipping. One of my babies didn't pull through. And as upset as I was, when I called this man his own empathy made me feel even sadder. He walked me through many little ways to help the tortoise but to no avail. He apologized profusely even though nothing was his fault, he truly cared that his baby didn't make it. I was promised another baby free of charge. I've never had an experience as compassionate as this in all my years with reptiles. I know a lot of us get the usual, "alright we are shipping another," and that's it. If you want someone who will handle your money, babies and worst case scenario with care, this is the guy to go to.
