    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....

Hi, anyone know what the going rate is for a 2.5 year old male Greek tortoise? he is about the size of a large box turtle.
Thanks!

Found that at www.turtleworldusa.com , maybe that will help a little.

Here is a kingsnake ad: In the photo, it looks to be about 6 inches.

<<This guy is awesome...eating plenty of romaine and greens everyday. I have had him for almost 2 years now. Adult Golden Greeks are hard to come by these days. I have too many tortoises so im cutting back on a couple.

This guy is $95 plus shipping.>>>



So, I'd guess anywhere from $100-150 depending on the health of the tortoise and how long it has been in captivity.
