    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....

Sorry if this is inappropriately placed, but I looked around and could not find an existing review thread. I just received some bamboo from Ethan and couldn't be happier. Although I initially just planned to buy one of the pre-set offerings he had, he asked me about my caging situation and the specific use I would have for the bamboo and then custom-cut it for me, even drilling holes for my tokays to use. Throughout, communication was above-and-beyond and we talked about an array of husbandry topics as well as getting me set up with an account at Ethan's forum. Based on this transaction, I can't recommend Ethan highly enough and I hope I hatch out something nice later this year so I can swap Tokays with him.

I just came across this and figured I'd throw a little on here as well as I always like to say a good thing about a good guy. Ethan is definitely trustworthy, and I have been in contact with him for several years now and haven't had a bad experience with him. He's knowledgeable and laid back and has a good sense of humor and I can get with people like this that still are diligent in regards to coming through on their word. He's honest, and I have bought animals from him in the past and the transaction went flawlessly. Great communication, he always answered my questions very quickly which is nice now-a-days when some will avoid certain questions out of convenience. He's also a moderator of the Geckos unlimited forum which gives him a respectable amount of 'street cred'. I honestly wouldn't think twice about purchasing an animal or anything from Ethan and would recommend him to anyone without any hesitation. He also has some nice animal set-ups and from what I have seen his reptiles are healthy and are kept in tip top conditions. :D
 
Ethan is a great guy. I have dealt with him and wouldn't hesitate a second to do business with him again. Plus it's great to know whether you're getting animals from him or selling to him that they are going to/coming from a really knowledgeable herper! :thumbsup:
 
I was involved in a trade with Ethan, with my dubia roaches being traded for some bamboo and layers is roaches. I could not be happier. Ethan is a great guy, and I will gladly trade or buy from him again. He has helped me with my geckos in the past, and I can't say enough good about him
 
I just ordered some Bamboo from Ethan and everything went smoothly and quickly. Could not be happier!!
 
one more vote in favor! I ordered some bamboo recently in several different sizes. it came promptly and in excellent condition, with full communication throughout the transaction and fair pricing.
