    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....

Recently did a trade with Derek. Geckos for Geckos. We had shipping delays due to weather. Great communication. EXTREMELY helpful. Beautiful animals. Perfect trade. Few trustworthy guys out there. He is one of them! Thanks Derek.
 
Made a purchase of E. agricolae from Derek at Tinley. He always seems very outgoing and eager to encourage others to learn about different species, and his animals are top notch. Would gladly buy from him again.

:thumbsup:
 
I have both purchased and traded geckos with Derek over the last couple of years. Derek has a wealth of knowledge on the species he keeps ( especially for his age!)
I've always been more than pleased with both the health and information I've received from Derek, and will continue to look forward to the next transactions we have together.
 
I got a beautiful crested produced by Derek ;) This girl:

And this is what she threw! Great gecko (one of my most mellow) and great genes to boot!

Would definitely buy from him again. He knows his geckos, and is a good guy in person, and online.
 
I have done quite a few trades with Derek in the past couple of years, and I have always been happy with the animals I've received. I was actually bothering him for more animals this morning....
 
Derek's the man no doubt and his taste in geckos is superb. Healthy animals, smart dude, honest, caring, passionate, outgoing, etc. etc. I'd buy from Derek or trade with him any day with no hesitation, and next time we are in Daytona I will take a turn on the sling shot ride with him lol ;)
 
DDreptiles - Crested Gecko Transaction

Back in June I purchased this trio of yellow pinstripe crested geckos from Derek. The transaction went through without a glitch. Package was properly packed and all the geckos came healthy. I will be doing business with him again in the future. thumbsup.png
 
I've traded with and purchased from Derek and his animals and service are top notch. He is definitely one of the good guys in the pet industry.
 
We recently purchased a gecko from Derek at Tinley and had done business with him in the past. He is a great person to work with an be around. He has absolutely flawless animals and puts a lot of time and energy into his collection. Rest assured...you will get the best from him.

Thanks for everything man! :)
 
Top notch breeder of even better geckos. Seriously, I've done several trades with him in the past and the only thing better than his support was the quality of his animals. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to refer someone to him. Probably one of the least shady guys in the gecko hobby.
 
Derek and I have done quite a few trades and purchases between one another. Communication was good, animals have arrived as promised, he cares about his animals and stands behind them. Great guy.

I just picked up a beautiful orange pinner Crestie from Derek this weekend. The transaction was smooth, he went out of his way to have it sent down to the Daytona NRBE for me to pick up, and the little guy/gal is just absolutely stunning. I couldn't be happier!

PS- ya'll that missed the NRBE's ZooMed Gecko Symposium missed a great impromptu gecko presentation by Derek!
 
I just ordered a young eurydactylodes agricolae from Derek. He had VERY quick turnaround time once I completed my order. The gecko is healthy and active, would definitely buy from again!
 
I have purchased several R. Ciliatus and Auriculatus geckos from Derek, he is very professional and knowledgeable. His animals are always high quality, healthy, and well maintained. Prices are very fair and he has a very nice variety of specimens.
 
Did a trade in person with Derek last night (camcorder for two E. agricolae and a crested). He was an absolute pleasure to meet; very patient, personable, and accommodating. Look forward to making purchases from in the future; so lucky to have someone on the forefront of rare gecko species like Derek close by to do business with.
