    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....

Just completed a transaction with Michael Barrera and I must say it was an outstanding buying experience.
I was out of town when I noticed an ad for a pair of animals I was interested in. Called him up and he agreed to hold them until I got back in town to get my finances in order.
As soon as I got back I called and he was off but the gentleman I spoke to said he would call him and let him know I was trying to reach him. Sure enough a few hours later he calls and went to the store to process the order, package the animals and hand deliver them to Fedex personally. All on his day off.
Package was shipped and a tracking number was emailed to me so I could track the progress of the package.
I received the animals early this afternoon (scheduled for 10:30 delivery) due to carrier delay and was a bit concerned. I was quite relieved to open the package and find two bright eyed skinks staring back at me. The animals were well packaged and ate within 15 minutes of being introduced into their new enclosure.
All in all it couldn't have gone any smoother so I gotta give him a big ole' :thumbsup: .
 
I also had an exception transaction with Michael Barrerra. I picked up a few hatchling turtles and everything went smoothly. I would definitely reach out to him again if he has anything that I am interested in. The packaging was great, he answered questions about the bloodline, sent me tracking number and the animals were alert and flawless.

Thanks Michael!
