    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....

Species: Hermann's tortoises, like many Testudo species, are perfect due to their size and their adaptability to most places here in the U.S. These do well outdoors year-round in the valley here in Northern CA and also at higher elevations as long as they don't get wet during hibernation. The Western Hermann's has nice vivid coloring on its shell when compared to the Eastern Hermann's and is smaller in size but note that the Sardinia locale can get as big as some of the smaller Eastern Hermann's females.

Enclosure: Outdoor housing when possible is the way to go. These tortoises love to graze and worship the sun. A cold-hardy species that I hibernate outdoors in a dry area that is filled with straw (not hay).

Diet: The hatchlings are feeding on a variety of weeds, grape leaves, mulberry leaves, cactus pads and rose petals. I feed Zoomed Grassland tortoise diet twice a week.

What to expect: I am happy to answer any questions you have, before and after the transaction is over. The most important thing for me is that my hatchlings get a good home so if you are new to the hobby then I am happy to help you with every aspect of their care. E-mail is the best way to stay in touch with me.

Guarantee: Guaranteed to be alive and outwardly healthy upon arrival if signed for upon delivery. Full refund, yes including the shipping cost, if the animal does not reach you alive.

Price:
$400 each plus shipping or pickup at the Reptilesupershow in Anaheim, CA the first weekend in January.

Shipping: I will ship via Reptilesexpress for next day arrival. Please note that if you live in a small town or remote location then even if I choose 10.30 am delivery the package might still not be delivered until later in the day. Sorry but no USPS or second day shipping. I will e-mail you the tracking number when the package is shipped to you. I ship only on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Packaging: I will always use a box with styrofoam lining. No additional cost for the box. Cool packs will be added as needed, again at no extra cost.

Payment: - Paypal and postal money orders accepted. Please e-mail me for my address or paypal ID depending on what you are using.

Note: All turtles/tortoises under 4" are sold for educational or research purposes only and not as pets. No sales to minors.
