    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....

The following will be available for pick up this weekend at NARBC Tinley Park, IL at the Chicago Reptile House booth. Just look for some guys with a bunch of amphibians. Absolutely no shipping and no presales or holding animals for anyone no matter who you are, no exceptions. First come first served, you look at them, if you like what you see you buy them, if you don't like them you don't buy them. It's very simple but in the past has somehow confused people who still contact me asking for a shipping quote.

Newts usually sell out fast so get there early, this is also not the season to be buying newts so supply is extremely limited. By "early" I don't mean walk in at noon on Sunday I mean get there long before the doors open Saturday and run to the booth when you get in. Maybe you'll run so fast I'll get scared and run away from you, then you have to chase me. You have to let me win though, if you catch me you lose, but it has to feel real to me.
