    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....

Hey Everyone,

I had recently picked up two Baby Sulcatas from the TAYLOR MICHIGAN SHOW in the month of November for a co-worker of mine. One was great the other after the first week health started to decline. Both were in the same setup treated the same but eventually ended up passing.

But this is NOT a bad guy post, Phil really came through for me over the long Holiday Break as time started closing in and the tortoise passed on the day before pickup I desperately searched for available Sulcatas in the Ohio area. I got quite a few replys but all told me to contact them after the Holidays. Phil on the other hand had plans that evening but agreed to wait around for me until I arrived and allowed me to pick one out! He really saved my butt.

Phil has pretty awesome collection. Real neat setups, from Water Monitors, Bearded Dragons, Turtles, and Tortoises, and a few snakes as well. Everything was well kept looked healthy and clean. He was showing me all of his animals and was a really nice guy. He even waited to feed the Tortoises until I got there just so I could see them eat before picking one out. He also included some Mazuri food and care sheet that was nice as well.

Overall I was very pleased with the help and everything I received from Phil and will most likely do business with him again! He often vends at the Cleveland Show, Check him out.

Thank you Phil!
