    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....

In the middle of September I contacted Erica about a crested gecko she had listed on her site. She responded to my email quickly and we worked out a deal. A little bit later, I also inquired about 3 other geckos she had listed. Again, she was prompt to answer and work with me. We agreed that I could pick up my new geckos at the Tinley Park show this weekend. When I picked them up I couldn't believe my eyes. They were stunning! Erica has great pictures on her site but the animals were even better in person. I am extremely happy with my new cresteds and my experience with Erica. She is professional, her communication is excellent and her animals are superb. I would recommend Crown Jewel Reptiles any time and I expect to be doing business with Erica again some day. A++++ in my book!

:thumbsup:
 
I also had a great transaction with Erica of CrownJewelReptiles.com

I recently purchased a young crested gecko from her.
Very swift in her email responses as well as kind. She was willing to let me split up my payment in half over the course of two weeks and when the little gecko finally arrived he was impeccably packed.

Definatly would not hesitate to purchase from her again and intend to be a repeat buyer. If you're looking to buy great animals from someone who keeps her site updated and is quick to respond and work with you on a transaction- Erica is someone to seriously consider buying from!

Thanks!

I agree!

I saw a gecko on Crown Jewel's website that I LOVED, and Erica responded promptly to my emails, answered ALL my many questions, and when I decided to purchase the gecko, it came packed better than any I've gotten before, and was even MORE beautiful in person! I'm extremely happy with my purchase and would not hesitate to purchase from her again!
 
I just received my geckos from Erica, and they all look fantastic! She even threw in a gorgeous little baby for free! That was an awesome surprise.

She was fantastic to buy from. Very helpful since I had to do payments, the geckos are all looking healthy and happy (boy were they wanting out of those containers!), packaging was perfect. Excellent service all around! A++++++++
 
I just purchased 3 geckos from Erica and they are beautiful. The adult female is from one of her better known lines and is simply stunning in person. She has lovely photography but it can't convey the size and solidity of these girls! She answered all my questions and requests for advice. The packaging was great and she even helped out with shipping a boy from another breeder.

Great service and great geckos!

Will definitely do business again.
 
I just got two MORE geckos from Erica, and couldn't be happier. Her geckos are absolutely fantastic, her website is completely addictive (I love the way you can track through the generations of breeders and their offspring), and she is the connsumate professional when it comes to communication and shipping.

Thanks a million, Erica!!
 
i bought three lovely cresties from Erica also and loved them even better in person. Fun just looking at the site and seeing the offspring from the breeders. Will buy again. Unfortunately i can't buy them all. Thank you for the awesome pinners.
