• 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.....

    =====================


    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....

Just received my shipment of 2.2 Sri Lankan Star tortoises from them and the animals are absolutely exquisite and appear quite healthy.
From the very beginning of the transaction Janie was very helpful and forthcoming with all information regarding the animals and answered each question patiently and professionally. In addition I had some relatively specific requests regarding bloodlines and sizes which she graciously accommodated.
Shipping was carried out by Mr. Beard and he called the day of shipping to ensure I would be available to receive the animals and supplied a tracking number as well.
Upon receiving the animals I found they were professionally packaged and after a quick soak began to eat within 10 minutes of being in their new enclosures.
If you are considering purchasing from them I can assure you that the experience will be one of the most pleasant purchases to be had via the internet.
