    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....

Parting with three Pink bellied sideneck turtles that are 6 plus months old. Active, alert and have gorgeous coloring on them.

Enclosure: Outdoor housing when possible is the way to go. These turtles love to bask and are one of the most gorgeous turtles out there. Young ones can be kept indoors till they reach 4 plus inches in size. This species does not hibernate or tolerate really cold temps so plan for indoor housing if needed.

Diet: The hatchlings are feeding on Reptomin pellets, Aquamax 400 grower, dried river shrimp and freeze dried black worms.

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: 3 for $160 including overnight shipping.

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.

NOTE: Due to COVID-19 FedEx is experiencing occassional delays. I recommend that you have the package held at the nearest hub for pickup. Thank you!

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.


Please e-mail me at [email protected] if you have any questions. Thank you.
