    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 known Aaron for a while...through various forums...but never had the chance to meet him in person until the NARBC show at Tinley this year...

He had an adult pair of normal BP's he was looking to get rid of...and gave me a great price...
Actually it turned out to be the deal of the year...
He hadn't weighed them for some time...and when he brought them to me...he said they were definitely bigger than he thought...
Well...I got home and weighed them...the male is 2100g...and the female is 2149g!!!

He told me he thought they were 1500-1800g...

My son had the female on his neck walking around the show...and I could have sold her alone for more than TWICE what I paid for the pair...but true to his word...Aaron didn't jack the price on me...and I have no intention of selling that girl to ANYONE...I need her...hell of a deal from a great guy.

He could have told me to bite it and sold her for much much more...
Good on his word...nice animals...

And he has forgotten more about geckos than I will probably ever know...
Very very knowledgeable...and definite asset to the herp community.
