    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....

Good Guy Dan Wolfe Herpetoculture - A+++++++

Shadera,
I was just curious if your "Quake" was every verified by Dan Wolfe? Before or if someone jumps on me I haven't had any transactions with either just want to find out what happened since a great deal of money was spent/invested on this animal? Thanks, Paige

Don't worry about people jumping on you. If they have no reason to, and your question is legit as mine was, who cares what the tiny minds think? There will always be people who will refuse to believe their heroes can do wrong. Put 'em on ignore. ;)

To answer your question. No, it was not ever verified as a Quake. What a great investment, eh? He told me when I asked before purchasing it that the reason he hadn't sold it yet was because he was waiting on the right buyer to show up. Apparently that idiot was me. :eek:

And since I'm here ... Hey all you folks who bought Arroyo/Rio animals at full or near full retail price - how you feeling about these auctions he's been putting on, selling them for pennies on the dollar? Still feeling comfortable with your investment? Hopefully this will encourage the people who have kept quiet so far to come forward with their stories of paying full price just months ago, or being told they'd bought all he had of a gene just to see him auction that gene off weeks later. He's also taking the value of red stripe, trick, blitz and others with him when he goes. These aren't just single examples. Several have been sold so far, and "this process will continue until every last DWH animal has been sold". How's that for protecting the investments his prior buyers made in confidence?

I find it incredibly interesting that the forum known for hating market crashers doesn't utter a PEEP about this one. Gotta protect your own, I guess.

Real classy. :thumbsup: Crap on the people who paid your bills.

I'm not sure I see how one person selling animals of a certain genetic background at auction will have an effect on the market for that animal long term. Auctions are never a good gauge of the market value of a certain gene or bloodline. Its not like Dan is going to be doing this for a long time like Ben Seigel or others do. He is liquidating his collection, and retiring.
