• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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....

Just got in 3 gorgeous animals from Tamara and David and I have to say everything about the transaction was handled wonderfully. From the initial inquiry all the way through receiving the animals it couldn't have gone better.
Emails were answered promptly, my phone calls and endless questions were handled with patience and I was treated like a highly valued customer. The animals were perfectly represented and came out of the box eating.
A HUGE 2 thumbs up to their shipping methods as well. I have bought many animals from several different dealers/breeders and have never received a package that had been so carefully put together with the animals safety in mind.
In closing I can say this has been one of, if not the best, buying experiences I have had. Buy, sell or trade with great confidence knowing you will get EXACTLY what they say you will.
GREAT JOB GUYS :thumbsup:
 
Thanks Jackie! You were a pleasure to deal with as well! Sent payment exactly when and how you said you would, and notified us promptly of their arrival! I am glad they are in your capable hands! I would definitely not hesitate to do business with you in the future! Good buyer!

:iagree: They are both awesome folks - you won't go wrong!!
 
I recently inquired about some animals I wanted,and unfortunately they had sold them,but they were fast to respond and very polite in their response.This maybe be a small part of the picture,but it would likely suggest that had I receved something from them,the same professionalism would have been part of a successful transaction.

I also recall David as an employee at East Bay Vivarium,and just as helpful there too.Hope this helps.Thanks,Marcus Quesada.
