    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....

It is educational, and worth the time, to check out the 'find more posts by' function sometimes.
Susan, I checked out about the last 20 of your past posts, many are filled with thoughtless hateful invective written by you. Did the same for Julia, and I found well reasoned, thoughtful posts.
This isn't the kind of site where persuasion is accomplished by invective. There are unmoderated places where those sorts of shenanigans are the norm, perhaps you would be more comfortable there. I doubt they would accomplish anything in a business sense, however.
 
Thank you Lucille, occasionally I post my opinion about a person or situation but unlike soooeee I never stoop to the level of insulting them. For the most part everything I post is factual and whenever I can I post evidence of what I type. After her constant outbursts and zero evidence of any of her claims, I am very doubtful anyone will take anything she says seriously.
As for the Webbs, I doubt anyone will take their rants and pathetic begging for money seriously, at least I hope not. I doubt anything they say is true and just need money so made up a sob story to make people feel bad and help them. I find it sad anyone has donated at all. Maybe I'm more skeptical then the average person but I never donate to a person or a cause without researching them/the cause.
 
I also found something else while rabbit-trailing for more information, attached below. It may or may not be relevant; being a small-time hobby breeder, I will never see $75k and up in net sales in a year, or even several years, but I suppose it could be very different for the show/expo/repticon circuit.

Could someone else with show experience please shed some light on the credibility of this figure?


Their figure is ridiculous, they'd have to have a huge breeding facility & sell over 10,000 geckos.

He's been active on Kingsnake recently, at first a lot of his ads seem like a good deal but after reading this thread it's easy to imagine that they might be a gold covered turd.
 
A couple things on that net figure (range).

It is an estimate with a huge range in terms of percentage between bottom and top of the stated range. Like a Zillow estimate, I would not rely too heavily on it for accuracy.

The second thing is that it could indeed be accurate (although I am not stating this as fact). They sell (or sold...or advertised) more than leopard geckos. The list prices for their (varied) offerings have ranged from sub-$100 to multi-$1000s per animal. Whether they get that or not, I have no idea. Some people can. Some people cannot.

I would just skip over the number/range estimate entirely because of the above.
 
Just a heads-up... It appears the Webbs have in fact moved back to Texas. Keep an eye out if you're in Texas or attend shows in surrounding states.
