    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....

Hi everyone,

I have a few species available for sale, sorry no trades right now. I am a private hobbyist and usually do not sell my animals, but due to recent changes, need to downsize my collection.

I have the following animals for sale, all top quality and very healthy. These have been pets, so they only get the best care. They haven't been sitting in big warehouses, holding tanks, or aquariums in a pet store.

0.3.3 Radiated tortoises - All females were endoscoped by my veterinarian and I can guarantee their sex. The other 3 were incubated at the same temp, and while i can't guarantee sex, i would think they are also female. CA SALES ONLY (sorry, no CBW). These are zoo quality animals, but sorry no studbook #s.

Female 1: 176 mm $3500 (BIG 7" female with nice smooth growth. great breeding potential because color often comes from males, not females. some of my most colorful hatchlings are from all black females.)



Female 2: 132 mm $3000



Female 3: 115 mm $2850 (Great thick yellow banding, should increase with age like its siblings)



Unsexed 1: 83 mm $1700



Unsexed 2: 81 mm $1700 (nice white lines, not yellow)



Unsexed 3: 54 mm $1600

0.0.2 Marginated tortoises - $125
Two holdbacks from 2012. great tortoises, already living full time outdoors in CA. (top two in the photo)


0.0.4 Eastern box turtles - $70 SOLD
All from an all yellow line, no gimmicks, just the classic look of Eastern box turtles I think we all grew up with. SOLD

0.0.3 Spotted turtles - $120
All looking like females, 2 are from 2011, smallest is from 2012.



Thanks for looking. I included photos of all the animals bc i do NOT have the time to send additional pics. I am swamped as it is. I am extremely confident you won't be disappointed. I feel these photos represent the animals well and if you are not satisfied I will take them back. I would rather they go to a good home over anything else.

I do not have time for tire-kickers, so please don't waste my time with emails unless you have a good home and funds ready. If you prove to be a good buyer and home, I will take note and make sure you have first dibs at future offspring as well.

Thanks,

JJ
