• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    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....

I have three left for the season. All three have aberrant scutes, but are healthy normal and growing in every other way. Weights are 144, 86 and 67 grams. Each is from a different mother. My breeding adults were purchased directly from the source and I have no other types of leopard tortoises.

My babies are housed in large Animal Plastics closed chambers in monsoon season conditions. They are soaked daily, sunned 3-4 times a week, and fed a huge variety of grasses, weeds, succulents, flowers, and occasional grocery store greens so that they will know what it is when they go to their new homes. They eat anything and everything, and lots of it.

$500 for the trio, and I'll pay shipping.

These guys have sold.

Their enclosure is a large meandering 2500 sq. ft. outdoor space that wraps around a building and has trees for shade. They have a heated 4x8' insulated night box that is heated with a mini radiant oil heater set on a thermostat.
