    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....

hi all. its been a while since i posted on here, for those that remember me, hello!
im thinking about purchasing a frog from "crystal" on kingsnake. there is no last name and i dont have any other info. she is pretty much new on kingsnake. any info on her would be greatly appreciated. thnaks, karl ramsdell
 
Karl, in all honesty, that is absolutely not enough information for most people to be able to help you. You may want to PM her and ask for her last name, then post here with that information.

Good luck!
 
Crystal's Critters?
Lots of frogs up for sale but I can't help with anything else.
You will need a full real name from her to help out with checking on her.
 
I know who you are talking about. I would avoid her at all costs. She is also selling a crested gecko, and I have messaged her about this animal. Her ad said it was a ruby red sub-adult male eyelash gecko that was ready to breed and loved to play. When I inquired about the age, diet, definition of play, and weight she e-mailed me back telling me that I wasn't the type of person she wanted to sell her gecko to and I needed to loosen up. That initial ad did not have a picture of the gecko, and once she did post a picture it was obvious that it was a plain orange gecko (not worth the 250.00 she was charging). I used another e-mail address in order to contact her asking her to revise her ad since A.) a sub-adult gecko shoud not be advertised as "ready to breed" B.) Geckos can become stressed very easily, and they should not be sold under the assumption that they like to play C.) She falsified the color. Her response: Go to Hell

I did not save these e-mails in my inbox, however there is a thread about her customer skills on Repashy. She was rude not only to me, but to other hobbyists. You can see the thread at:

There is another woman, Crystal's Critters? that I have not had any encounter with, so I don't want anyone to get what I said above confused. The woman I am referring to only goes by "Crystal" on kingsnake and is selling cresties, balls, turtles, and frogs.
 
crystal

hi, thanks for your replies. droogievesch, thanks for the help. yu are right on, this is the one i was talking about, seems she has been rude to her customers.
i asked her what the 6" pacman frog was feeding on and she told me it eats 4 rat pups every four days. i read the thread on that other site and i was amazed. i wonder if it is a scam? thanks for the help everyone, karl ramsdell
