    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....

Came into control of an eastern box turtle that was in terrible condition in Ohio. Adult male that was lethargic with no appetite. Weighted 200g. Long story how I came into possession but was captive breed or long term captive was suppose to be a 3 toe box. After a long month of care turtle now weights 450g. Knowing that this species was on the species of concern list in Ohio I contacted Ohio wildlife officer and filed a permit to keep turtle. Ohio wildlife officer came to my home to check enclosure and discuss what to do next. He thanked me for my concern and contacting them. He asked if I had proof of ownership in which I did not. He told me he would have to discuss with his supervisor and get back to me within a week. He also asked if I would have any problem giving to a sanctuary if it came to that. I assured him I would do whatever he decides. Had great experience with Ohio wildlife. Not sure what will happen but I do know a great happy eastern box turtle has been saved.
