    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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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 "Eric Ivins" of "South Central Herpetological", extremely impressed.

I have to suspect that it would still be alive and well if it hadn't suffered the unfortunate fate of having fallen into your possession. Everything you say simply adds proof to the premise that you know nothing of reptilian physiology, or how wildly different their reactions are to environmental stimuli, when compared to humans. Only a complete buffoon would imply that what you'd do in a certain situation has any bearing on what a monitor should do.

Also, I do appreciate the partial refund but since you shipped me a monitor that 3x bigger than expected and the fact that it died in 2 weeks with crickets, dubias and water at his disposal, I feel that a full refund should be given. Or atleast ship me the hatchling that was expected.

At this point, I think that you should be happy you got anything at all, and weren't invited to just go pound sand. I believe that stupidity should be punished, and you've shown more than enough of it to warrant being sent packing with nothing to show for your it.

You clearly expressed satisfaction with your purchase, despite it's size. You didn't start whining about it until it was clear that you had screwed the pooch, regarding it's proper care. It's funny how the size didn't matter one bit until your practices "doomed" it to death.

Hopefully, Eric will amend his future ads to include a well-defined TOS, to protect himself from opportunists who want to hold everyone else responsible for their own mistakes.

The animal should have lasted more than 2 weeks and you know that. Even with wrong substrate, enclosure, lack of UVB (eventhough I was trying to supplement it with dusted crickets/dubias) doesn't negate the fact the monitor arrived to me wrong size and doomed from the start. Eric knows I didn't handle the monitor except for that very first day because I kept him updated with emails almost every other day during this 2 week ordeal. The only time I even went close to the cage was to make sure he was Ok and to check temps/humidty and also mist it if the humidity was dropping. About a week into him not eating I removed 2 of the hide because the crickets and dubias were hiding in them as well. This monitor should have eventually ate, stressed or not. I know if I plucked up from my house and tossed into a different location, I'm going to eventually eat whats offered to me...unless I'm sick, like this monitor was.

I ordered some red-eyed tree frogs from Eric, with in 4-7 days 2 had died. I emailed Eric about it & he offered an explination as to why ... I was feeding them crickets that were too big. I have kept red-eyes for years with no issues, but we all can learn something. I accepted the fact that I was doing something wrong. I didn't blame Eric for my failing, something you continue to do.

ALL WC & CH NEED TO BE TREATED FOR PARASITES. It's not that he mislead you in the ad, it said CH. Don't blame your ignorance on others.

And I would like to know why a hatchling was listed on your ad and I received a monitor that was 18" long?
Click to expand...

I beg to differ it was 16 in at the most, while not a hatchling, still quite young. You were happy with him till he started showing signs of extreme stress, then instead of doing the right thing & taking him to a vet, any vet ... you proceeded to throw a pity party.

Your ignorance in what needs to be done for a CH/WC is what killed the monitor.

You were shipped a healthy living monitor, you are only entitled to the price of the monitor back, no more.

I have no doubt in my mind I could make you, I'll meet you half way if you'd like to? and the only time I've been disrespectful is when people like you throw in your unhelpful disrespectful comments in the first place.

Threats have no place on this forum. Not to mention it makes you seem very immature.

Thanks for that, best comment all day

truth of the matter is you were disrespectful before I was, I voiced my opinion on Eric Ivins and you started attacking my husbandry skills.

Now when it comes to the matter if I could make you shut up if we were face to face, well lets just say I'd put you in the ER before you could get off the first little stupid comment. I'm gonna have dreams tonight about pistol whipping the bejeezus out of you.
 
This kid just does not stop or learn what hes doing to his ability to buy or sell...


Threats like that make me laugh at your ignorance. Internet Hot heads are no better than the dirt i wipe off my show. GROW UP!!!

Such threats and implications are unwelcome here. I've asked this comment to be reviewed.

You may as well be speaking Greek. I think trying to advocate any sense of personal accountability, with this guy, is an exercise in futility.

Once again, you idiot, my care didn't result in this monitors death. You weren't here at my house checking temps/humidity, offering it various foods that were appropriate for the animal..So STOP making accusations that you have no bearing to imply that my care killed this monitor. Arguing with some of you people really shows how stupid some of you really are. When I post over and over and over that my temps and humidity were correct, any idiot in the reptile world should know right off the bat that the animal should have lasted more than 2 weeks, stressed or not.

If it was 3 or 4 months down the road, yeah I could see your point, but 2 weeks? you people are stupid and are defending someone when you would have been just as mad as me if the same thing happended to you 2 weeks after delivery of the animal.
 
So were supposed to take your word that everything was correct from the pics, which shows other wise.

Your arguing with people been around longer then you been alive in the industry. Yea, not the right people to be picking arguments with.

And with all your posts, Moderator will have fun hitting that Special Button!

i believe it was you that starting raging first loser, I guess Rich's wifes been stepping out on him again...
 
I think there's been enough back and forth, baiting, and personal attacks for one thread. Infractions have already been handed out, and will continue if these off topic posts continue.
 
At this time you're just :deadhorse . Go get some sleep dude. And it aint snitching, it's just bringing the situation to light a little sooner than you hoped.
 
All this aside, I think he got more then he deserved on that $22 back. He basically killed this animal. And his other monitors...don't they "thrive" for more than eleven months??
Clearly an immature and unstable person.
This whole scenario makes me wish Monitor lizards came with a bigger price tag.
 
Don't expect Mr. Throckmorton to be back here any time soon.
