    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....

I just received a shipment of 1.1 U. Phantasticus from Michael. They appear to be very healthy and have amazing coloration. They were shipped very professionally in a well packaged and labeled box. If you're looking to do business with him, then you've made a good choice.
 
Michael Barrera @ MnR is a great guy! I believe that Mike purchased my colonies of albino Razorback Musk Turtles and albino Stinkpot Musk Turtles (very expensive) that I had sold to Ben Seigel. How are my babies?

I would like to encourage everyone interested in them to buy breeding colonies of Uroplatus Leaf-Tail Geckos while most of them are still cheap! It may not last a lot longer. You can still get them for what Hypo Gecko paid, and they are some of the nicest reptiles of all time!!!!!!!! :eatpointe
 
Good guy

I have Known Michael Since he was just started in this business 5 + years ago. I have known Mike to be a man of his word, and to back up the animals he sells. His quality is great, as he gets his pick of animals from all the major imorters in the South Florida area. And lots of great captive born animals from big breeders also. I have been with Michael many times chosing which animals to purchase for retail, and he really knows his stuff. Especially Fly river turtles........................LOL
You will not have a problem dealing with Mike, And if you do, he will make it right.
When Its all said and done, all we have is our word and our reputations to fall back on. Mike has too much to lose to make bad business decisions.
 
Mike B has done well by me too.
I actually went down to meet him and see the facility he worked at.. impressive.
Mike was a cool guy and I was FINALLY able to snatch that little patternless Nic from his hands!

HA HA MIKE! Finally got him!

I know I was trying for close to a year... lol

Picking up some of the lightest, cleanest, White'est Colombians i've seen in a looong time as we speak from him!

Take care all - Joe Rollo - Bci Joe
