    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....

Opuntia Cochenillifera

Opuntia "spineless" cactus are a great source of fiber, moisture, calcium as well as multiple vitamins. Contain no spines or spikes. Great food source for many tortoise/box turtle species, iguanas, bearded dragons, etc. The cactus pads stay good for weeks if kept frozen/refrigerated (may get soft and soggy, but don't affect the integrity). Also storing in Tupperware at room temperature from what customers have told me keeps the cactus pads good for 2 weeks or more. Picked fresh right before shipping.

I have plenty of satisfied customers on several Facebook tortoise/reptile forums and several repeat customers. I have one tortoise retailer that has a sponsored link in the tortoise/turtle classified section on this website that frequently orders bulk quantities of cactus pads from me for his tortoises. Im sure he would gladly act as a reference for me.

Prices are below(shipping not included):
1.5 pounds-$10.00
3 pounds-$15.00
6 pounds-$25.00
10 pounds-$40.00

Shipping costs are reasonable and come with tracking. Please send me your Zipcode and how many pounds you would like to purchase. And I will get you a shipping cost. Email me at [email protected]

Local pick up or shipping in the continental US. PayPal accepted. It is not necessary to have PayPal to purchase. I can invoice you for the order to your email via PayPal and you can pay with your debit/credit.

I personally feed it to all my tortoises. I feed it to them 2-3 times a week. They can never get enough of it. All my cactus is grown naturally. No chemicals. I feed it to my adult and hatchling Redfoot's, Yellowfoot's and Sulcata's.

Feel free to email me at [email protected], private message me or comment with any questions about the cactus. Thank

I saw this same ad on Craigslist down here in SoFla. His responses were late, full of excuses, and shifty at best. I did not do business with him, and a it seems a few here on Fauna who have are now regretting it.
Looks like Ryan Steward has some explaining to do.
