    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....

I'm hoping to go to the NARBC show in Tinley Park next weekend. I've never been to this reptile show and have no idea what to expect. I am really hoping to find some tortoise hatchlings. I'm not set on any particular tort, but we need one that stays on the smaller side (due to living in a colder climate and not being able to have them out year round) Anyone know what, if any tortoises could be there? What would all of you recommed as a pet? Growing up we had a russian, and he was fun. But beyond that, Im still researching and learning. Thanks for any input!

Russ Gurley will be there and he had baby Hermann's at the last couple of shows we attended. They are fairly cold tolerant. You should contact him.
 
Do you recall how much they were? I'm debating on going down there now since I've got a sick kid, and a sick dog. I'm thinking of just ordering one online.
