    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....

I've had 2 dealings with Claude recently and can only say that he's great to deal with. His schedule may keep him from responding immediately but his animals are great. Though he is a wholesaler who deals in a lot of imported animals along with CB, he doesn't send junk. Everything came in beautifully packaged, well prepared for travel (and a show) and even with a shipping problem created by Continental Cargo this last one came in with no losses to animals and I even had dart frogs in the shipment. I'm already planning more purchases from him and can hardly contain my anticipation.
 
Claude is one of the "good guys" in the biz!
He has vended at my shows for years and he used to hang out at the Lufkin Zoo in Texas as a kid and watch me clean the crocodile pool! LOL! (and ask lot's of questions!)
He does have w.c. animals, but they are in excellent shape!

Claude is one great guy.. I have known him for many a year. I have both bought and sold form him...As Randal Said... Claude is one of the good guys. He tells it like it is.. Does not sell anything without telling you about it.. No lies..
 
What Randal and Lynn have said it quite true. On my first order I inquired about a couple of blue tongues that he was offering as I was looking for animals to resell. He immediately told me that they were rough and that he'd rather not sell them until they were looking and acting healthier. Same thing with some recently imported baby cooks tree boas. And when he had run out of one variety of frog that I had ordered he called to make sure that the next available "upgrade" would meet with my approval at the same price as the lower priced variety. Truly amazing and outstanding business practices.

And when the screw-up with Continental interupted his evening date with his girlfriend he was gracious and polite even when I called a bit later to make sure that they had alerted him about the problem. First-class in all respects.
