    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....

Awesome! Words don't express how smoothly the transaction went. I just purchased 1.1 u. milii, and 1.0 n. l. levis from Derek. Never have I gotten warm geckos this part of winter. Expert shipper. The geckos look even better than in the photos he sent. Awesome!! Thanks so much derek, and others.. BUY WITH CONFIDENCE. :dancer01:
 
Derek is awesome! I've bought pilbarensis and occidentalis from him and everything went great. Very healthy, fat animals and an all around good guy. I highly recommend him to anyone interested in purchasing from him.
 
I just bought a pair of Nephrurus levis occidentalis from Derek and they are exceptional specimens. They were well packed and arrived in perfect condition. You can definitely buy from Derek with total confidence in getting high quality geckos.

Hi guys

I just completed a really smooth deal with Derek yesterday for a trio of gorgeous R.chahoua geckos. I couldn't be more pleased with the geckos or Derek's customer service. Derek was very accommodating and easy to deal with. I would certainly buy from him again and do recommend him to anyone interested in the geckos he has to offer.

Thanks Derek

I ordered from Derek a while back and have nothing but good things to say about him. What a class act.... and oh, his animals!
 
I ordered a male R. chahoua from Derek and just as everyone says the shipping was A+, customer service was awesome and the gecko is in pristine health. Goes without saying, but I will do business with him again.
 
Derek Wong of Shoebox Reptiles is an absolutely fantastic seller and a wonderful person.

One month ago today, I received a male Nephrurus levis levis from Derek. After several correspondences, I honestly could not be more satisfied with my purchase from him. The levis is so colorful and fantastic and perfect in EVERY way- and he took to eating immediately after my receipt of him.

Derek definitely is on my 'Buy From' list! Excellent seller, great communication and absolutely top notch animals!

Thanks again Derek :)
 
Hello,

My name is Derek Wong and I am the owner of www.Shoeboxreptiles.com. I wanted to alert everyone that someone is trying to use my identity to scam people out of money by pretending to be me. He is going by the email [email protected]. That is NOT my email. My email is [email protected] and it has not changed. DO NOT send this person any money. He is linking my BOI at the bottom of his emails to try to legitimize his identity.

Thank you for all of your support!

Derek
 
Derek Was Great!

I purchased a Crested Gecko from Derek. He was very professional, answered all my questions in a timely manner. The transaction was smooth as possible, the gecko was shipped out quickly and received with no issues. We will be purchasing from him again in the future.
