    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....

Garrick DeMeyer.. Good Guy!

Just wanted to let people know!

Garrick DeMeyer, from www.crestedgecko.com is a nice guy!

He was very patient with me when it came to purchasing a beautiful pastel ball python, (took me a while to pay it off) and took the time to answer any questions I had.

He also has the common sense to not ship animals in the cold. (even with the use of heat packs, I am not a fan of shipping in cold weather) He waited a week longer then he was planning to ship my my snake, knowing the weather here was bad.

My snake showed up happy and healthy, and just as beautiful as he was in the photo I saw online!

He sells a wide variety of ball pythons, boas, other snakes, and tons of different geckos!

So check him out!

Thank you Garrick for my wonderful snake!

There's another thread about Garrick somewhere on the BOI. I've commented in it, and I'll say the same thing I said in that thread.

I ordered some cresties from him a few years back and the transaction was a flawless and superb transaction. I'm happy to hear that years later, he's continuing his outstanding customer service and keeping his customers happy. I will get around to doing more business with him in the future. :thumbsup:
 
Garrick is the one of the very best. A truly good man if there ever was one.
 
I commented on the other thread too but basically I AGREE :thumbsup: !!
He was awesome to deal with!! After my first snake arrived, she had somehow injured herself during shipping. I talked to Garrick regularly about her after her arrival and we came to the decision I would keep her and just never breed her if this could not be corrected by a vet. Unfortunately it could not be fixed and yet she is a gorgeous and sweet baby who I fell in love with the minute she arrived. Garrick never questioned me or the vet and as soon as the weather cleared he sent me another boa as a replacement.
I was such a worried mommy and had never had a sick or injured snake before so it was so nice to be able to call and talk to him personally. It was even better because he was just as concerned about her as I was and with all the calls back and forth we made the best choice for the little girl. :)
I cannot say enough how amazing he was during all of this. A+++ service and just an all around great guy!!
 
Garrick comes through again

Another flawless transaction with Garrick. I purchased some Leopard Geckos earlier this month, and I couldn't be happier. Garrick treats you like you were the only customer he had. Thanks Garrick
 
Yet Another "Good Guy" recommendation

Got a fine, fat and gorgeous 0.1 Black Pastel from Garrick, and would happily do business with him again.
 
My partner and I have purchased from Garrick on multiple occasions now, and every time we are completely satisfied, Only the very best, top quality animals, great communication, and outstanding deals. As long as he has hot leopard geckos, we will continue to purchase from him :)
 
Garrick is outstanding, and I'm proud to have such a great breeder and businessman in Wisconsin. I put a mojave on payment plan back in January, and needless to say we've had our ups and downs with military pay and my crappy job, etc (yay for me starting a new job this month!). Garrick was patient and understand through ALL of it, he never once got upset or pushy or made me feel bad for taking longer than expected. Then toward the end, we both had a hard time coming up with a day to meet up so I could pick the snake up (we both have about a million things going on just about every day). We realized a mutual friend of ours (Brad Benike @ GrossBoy Exotics) was heading up to see Garrick today, and Brad was awesome enough to bring my mojave back down with him on his way home. When I picked the snake up, I was amazed at how gorgeous he is and almost floored by how BIG he was (506g as a late '06 male). Most breeders in the past have only maintenance fed the snakes they've held for me (more cost-effective for them), but Garrick must have kept this guy regular and well-fed. I'm so thrilled with him, and I will absolutely be doing business with Garrick again. Thank you!
