    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've known Gary as a member of our forum community for some time, but I just purchased my first animal from him and was very pleased. She was boxed up perfectly and came in great shape! He shows a great amount of care for his animals and has kept in touch for all questions between the two of us. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone!
 
I too purchased a female crested gecko from Gary and just received her! She is beautiful! Much nicer than the photos even. I had great communication from Gary and the transaction went great! Could not be happier!
 
Yes he is

I have done business with Gary for years. He is a great guy who cares very much about his animals. He is also a vendor at my reptile show here is Wisconsin. He brings nothing but top notch animals to the show.
 
Gary is a great guy that takes pride in his animals. He has nothing but the best. He keeps detailed records and can always provide any information that you want. He's an awesome guy to work with since he is so freindly and happy to help someone out.

We have purchased a couple of geckos from him, and he is currently holding one for us to pick up at the WIRE show in Madison in two weeks. He has been keeping it for the past month now, to cut the shipping costs as well as the stress of shipping on the animal.

We can't thank him enough for the excellent service he has given us. His attitude, personality, and animals will keep us coming back to him, and continuing to do business.
 
Sorry to bump an older thread but it has to be said - Gary is an awesome person to do business with. I purchased a couple of stunning geckos from him and they got here perfectly packaged today. They look even better in person. His communications were clear, professional and quick and he kept me in the loop on everything, and had answers to all of my fussy questions - which speaks mountains for his patience as well. :eek: Would definitely recommend Gary Hamann from ridgeandvalleyreptiles.com :)
 
Just purchased 2 male crested geckos from Gary and was very pleased with the transaction. The geckos are really beautiful-prettier than the pictures. They are both healthy large geckos and arrived in perfect condition with good packaging and cold packs.

I would definitely do business with Gary again.
 
I bought two female crested geckos from Gary Hamann of Ridge and Valley Reptiles back in Spring 2010 and couldn't be happier with the level of service recieved. Several of his geckos are well-known "celebrities" in the crestie community and I am honored to have representatives from his bloodlines in my collection and breeding groups. Gary takes great care of his animals and his dedication to the hobby is exemplary. Thanks again, Gary! :)
 
Good experience buying from Gary. I'm very happy with my Wheeleri female and I will be considering him for future purchases for sure.
 
Purchased a beautiful male crested gecko from Gary last month. Excellent communication and I'm very happy with my gecko. Would definitely consider purchasing from him in the future!
 
I purchased a female crested gecko from Gary Hamann in December. He has held her for me for four months due to the long winter. Due to a mishap in e-mail, we lost communication - he reached me through Facebook, going above and beyond what many sellers would have done.

The gecko came with a business card and an ID tag with her number, hatch date, and sire and dam. She was packaged beautifully and the box was very clearly labeled. Like others have said in this thread, she is even more good looking in person than she was on the website.

Throughout the transaction, Gary was excellent to deal with. I would recommend Ridge and Valley Reptiles to anyone.
 
Good Guy

Gary is a great guy to deal with. He takes great pride in his animals. He supplies detailed records and can always provide any information that you want. I would not hesitate to buy again. I wish there were more guys and gals like Gary around.
