    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....

Grrrr Gas Prices!!!!

Pretty extreme for 1 $10 order of crickets if you ask me.

Screw reptile food, i am going with LLLreptile....................


WHAT is fed ex and ups charging for shipping reptiles now anyways???
 
I ordered on monday from them and my order what a flat $19.00 (1,000 3/4 crix)...

That would be $9 for shipping...That is pretty crazy...BUT...My crix arrive next day... :)
 
Think a gallon of gas is expensive?
Diet Snapple- 16 Oz. $1.29..... $10.32 Per Gallon
Lipton Ice Tea- 16 oz. $1.19......$9.52 Per Gallon
Gatorade- 20 Oz. $1.59.....$10.17 Per Gallon
Brake Fluid- 12 Oz. $3.15.....$33.60 Per Gallon
Vick's Nyquil 6 Oz. $8.35.... $178.13 Per Gallon
Pepto Bismol 4 Oz. $3.85.....$123.20 Per Gallon
Scope 1.5 Oz. $0.99.... $84.48 Per Gallon
White Out 7 Oz. $1.39.....$25.42 Per Gallon
Ocean Spray 16 Oz. $1.25.....$10.00 Per Gallon
And here is the kicker... Evian Water 9 Oz. $1.49........$21.19 PER GALLON for WATER!!

LOL just some random things. I don't complain too much about gas prices its not as bad as you would think
 
Whats more expensive is seeing the gas prices already effecting grocery store prices.

The reason i complained anyways the prices were on reptile food, when i was starting my order. Were these prices.

$7 for 2-day
$13 for nextday pm
$14 for nexday am

By the time i made it from the shipping quote to the checkout shipping jumped another $1
 
Between gas prices and dimensional weights, my avg. $35 to ship last year is now an average of $55-60 per box priority overnight with FedEx. I do love the 2 pound box being "dimmed" at 11 pounds. :rolleyes:
