    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....

Recently, I've been looking around for a leopard gecko (preferably either a Mack Snow or Blizzard). One of my friends recommended a site called Backwater Reptiles. Their site seems good and the prices are pretty reasonable, but for some reason I'm getting a bad vibe about them.

Does anyone know anything about this company?
 
 
:eek: Oh wow... how are these guys still in business after all that? Not to mention how some of the animals look in the pictures I found that came from there.

Thanks for sharing those. I'm most definitely NOT buying from that company.
 
And another thanks to this site and those that volunteer as well as the "grumpy" guy known as enslaved. You can't count on a better place to save you from making the wrong decision. Dig a little, save a lot.
