    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.

    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....

Im trading a patternless for a hypo bell. I have the patty, is this a good trade? And i was wondering how to contact the Bells via email. The bought a Hypo Bell from Mark himself and isnt sure if its a tremper or a bell because its so lite in color. Ive searched everywhere but cant find it. And i cant get a puc of the gecko, so ill check it b4 i make the trade, were meeting.
 
is the patternless albino of some strain, or just patternless? If its just patternless and your trading for what you say is a hypo bell you got a good deal there. If you can post pics of either animal it would help. Just my thought though, but a patternless for a bell hypo=good deal.
 
Ya he said he got it from bell himself but the guy who i am trading is unsure if it really is a bell because it is so lite i ncolor. But if its from bell its gotta be a bell. He said th etip of tail is rejuvinated and thats the only flaw. Im trading my female patt(just a normal patty) for his bell. He doesnt have a pic, you can see the patty on the classifieds.
 
At least you are meeting with this person before you trade, so you can see it. But if he is unsure it's a Bell that won't do you much good if you are planning on breeding it.
 
Well first he said its so lite it may be a tremper. Then he said oh im sure its a bell. He bought it from mark bell at NARBC so i guess it better be bell. If i see it and im not 100% sure its a bell im not tradin.
 
I am quite certain that the Bells work with all three strains of albinos. So just because he bought it from the Bells does not mean it is a Bell.
 
Ya im definately going to be careful about the trade. I told him if it isnt a guarnteed bell i wont take. Whats the easiest way to tell a bell from a tremper?
 
Ya i would just make 100% sure it is a bell before trading. ANd according to freds site(gekkonida) the bell strand is only good with bells, but I could be wrong or someone may have proved this to be different. But i would assume all 3 strains are not compatable.
 
Bumped for contact info

I have a inquiry about a pair of Bell blazing blizzards that were purchased from a second party and are supposed to have been produced by the Bells
I would appreciate any contact info for them

I haven't been able to find a website or any direct contact info for them anywhere

An E-mail addy would be fine

Sandy
 
Sandy, As far as I know, the Bells have not produced any Bell Blazing Blizzards. Most likely you have a pair of Tremper Blazing Blizzards, that were produced by the Bells. You can contact Mark and Kim at

[email protected]

Hope that helps.
 
to my knowledge there has only been 1 bell blazing produced, and it did not survive. If it is a pair of bell blazings, im sure they will cost you dearly
 
Thank you Josh and Brandon

I have not really kept up on who had been producing what lately and had I really thought about it-I would have probably realized that this is bogus and by this fact alone-it looks like that I am headed for the BOI again to alert other people of this company and to relate the experience that I have had with them

They have excellent feedback on the ReptileAuction-78 positive-and that is what led me to do business with them

Too bad that I didn't learn the first time that if it looks too good to be true-it is
Here is the link for the ad for their remaining auction there

http://www.reptileauctions.com/Bell...Gecko-Pair-4,itemname,58474,id,auctiondetails

I also have a copy of the auction page should it mysteriously disappear


You can clearly see that they are claiming to be selling Blazing Blizzards FROM THE BELL LINE OF GECKOS and I have e-mails stating by Rose of

who placed this auction- that these were produced by the Bells at their facility and sold to her by them and that they are Bell Blazing Blizzards

Now-maybe i am just being obtuse in thinking that these were THE Bell blazing blizzards morph from looking at this auction -I see no mention of the word Tremper nor was his name linked to the geckos that I purchased from Rose

Actually my problem is not with whether they are actually Bell blazing or Tremper blazing-blizzards -the female that I received has a deformed right leg and Rose denied any knowledge of it despite claiming to have packed these 2 geckos for shipping herself


It is a long convoulted story and i have all e-mail correspondence between her and myself
Boy- I feel like an idiot for thinking that these were Bell Blazing Blizz's

Please folks-be kind here-I am still on major pain meds 24/7 and I obviously should not be buying anything without asking a friend from now on if i am not understanding exactly what I am buying

Thanks

Sandy



I e-mailed Mark and Kim yesterday regarding the use of their name and facility by this company in selling geckos in their auctions


I am too tired to do a BOI post right now-but I will do one either later on this early am or later today

Sandy
 
The auction you linked to is for Blizzard leos, not Blazing Blizzards. Did they change the wording or something?
 
Kelli-Thanks for pointing that out to me-either they did change the ad or I read the word "blazing" in the original auction and the 5 other auctions that they had for Bell Blizzards pairs

I will be the first one to admit that I am wrong when that is the case and this has got me thinking that I may have completely lost my mind

So I went back into my e-mails to Rose and she does refer to them as "Bell Blazing's" in our correspondence

Also she did not contradict or correct my use of the term Bell Blazing Blizzards regarding the 2 geckos that I purchased and this term was used in the subject line of all of my e-mails to her and whenever I made reference to the 2 geckos

Sandy
 
I will also admit, allthough it does not say bell blazing blizzard in the add, it does say blizzard from the bell line, so I see where someone having their hopes up to find a bell blazing could have gotten confused. I dont see what the point of the whole bell line is? To state that these were produced by the bells is 1 thing, but bell line blizzards? makes it sound like bell albino blizzards....
 
Now because I have known Sandy for so many years and her and I had emailed back and forth many times about these blizzards...I went to Exotic pets website and emailed them and asked specifically what type of blazzings they were...here is the entire email Mine and theirs in reply.

Hi,
I was on you website and I did notice that you do not have any blazing blizzards for sale at the moment but I would like to ask a few questions about them. First, when will you have them available and second what "brand" of blazing are they (bell or tremper).And then of course how much would a pair of them be including shipping to zip code 11426
Thank you so much for your time
Robin


They are Bell. Shipping is a flat rate of $38.50. Price is unknown until we have them available.



Thanks,

Honestly, this post belongs in the BOI. Please repost all the info in there for everyone to see. It obviously got off track of contacting the bells, and is now talking about a problem with a person or business or is questioning someone or their business. I realize you didnt mean for it to go that way, so please just go ahead and repost all the pertinent info in a new thread there.
