    **************************************************
    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....

Good Guy Nickolas Anastasiou/nickolasanastasiou

Thank you kindly, Bryan. :) It has been my pleasure.

Thank you for doing such a great job that I felt compelled to make this thread in the first place!

I have 3 Tortoises from Nick and also "bother" him regularly for advice on my own Tortoises. He is as good as they get and I will get future Tortoises from him as well!

I completely agree, customer service is off the charts with him and he is extremely knowledgeable. They don't come any better than Nickolas as far as I'm concerned.
 
I too have had the pleasure of doing business with Nickolas. Nothing but a straight up guy, No regrets No remorse, Just 1 AWESOME looking Tortoise!! As everyone has stated, if you have questions either before or after the sale, he has always returned my emails promptly and professionally!! Have No Fear, For Nickolas is Definitely as good as they Get!!
Thank you and look forward to dealing with him again in the Future!!
Best Regards,
Scott Richardson

Scott, with you being as dedicated to your special projects as you are, I assure you that the pleasure was very much mine to have worked with you. I have known a handful of folks I have had business dealings with that go far beyond the general level of project involvement and I count you among them. Knowing animals I cared about went to keepers like that always makes me feel more fulfilled than the transactions that occur in the absence of that bonus of passion.

I thank you.
 
Thank you, Don. My discussions and interactions with you were very agreeable and I am very happy we could do business together recently. :)
 
I'm a new tortoise owner, and had contacted Nickolas last year with a few questions. We've never met, and I've never purchased any animals from him, but he patiently answered my questions as if I'd just spent $1000 with him!

Nick is an extremely knowledgeable individual, and was happy to help me, with no expectation of financial gain. He seems to thrive on the satisfaction of knowing he's helping people take better care of their animals.

Thanks again, Nick!

I never bought from Nick too; however, he's always taken the time to answer my wacky questions.:thumbsup:
 
Thanks, Justin, and I am still hoping some quercicus pop up here. Mostly holbrookii and terrestris showing their faces around so far this year.
