    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....

Almost two months ago (Sept 3 I believe) I bought a baby leatherback bearded dragon from Gary Poling AKA BaskNDragons. This was my first time buying a live reptile online and I waited this long to make a review because I wanted to make sure everything went well with the baby, and I also had not found any reviews for him at the time. He seemed professional when I spoke with him however and his beardies were very tempting!
As far as I know the packaging was great (like I said, first time getting a shipped reptile), it had insulation and lots of paper in there to keep the deli cup from bouncing around. It also had a cooling pack because it was a little hot that week.
When I received the baby I was very happy. He was very alert and might I add beautiful IMO :) He was approx. 6 or 6 1/2 inches then.
Now he's already 9 1/2 inches and eats greens and bugs like a little pig, and has what appears to be two tiny lumps behind his vent (for those not familiar with beardies these are the hemipenes).
All in all I'm very happy with this purchase and if I ever get more beardies I will definitely consider buying from Gary again. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a bearded dragon.
 
I don't know how Gary doesn't have more positive feedback. I just got a few dragons from him and I'm blown away by the quality of what I got. I was going to purchase a specific dragon but ended up getting a few others without seeing pictures of them. They were much better than I expected though and I'll happily get more from him if the sex ratio doesn't work out like I'm hoping.
