• 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....

Well, as of yesterday we are the proud new parents of a 2 month old Pancake tortoise. We have several Uros and Beardies and Snakes...even Red Eared Sliders, but finally a tortoise is in our family! She is great! Just wanted to show her off and say thanks to Aaron Parson A.K.A. Pavochavo. Also, if there are any pancake owners out there with any usefull tips or advise, I'm all ears since information is very limited with these little beauties.

I would not use a tank, it would be better if you use a tortoise table, tanks have poor ventalation, and also get hot, plus see through sides and tortoises arnt good, besides that, your set up looks good, I would just switch to a table.
 
The sides are actually covered (three of them) just not in the picture. I really can't use a table because we have three cats, so right now we have to use the screen top. Thanks for the word though. If there is anything else, please let me know.
