• 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.

  • IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ!! About the Google Adsense ads being displayed

    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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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....

Grrrrr!!! This REALLY bothers me...

Nevermind... looks like everything is run through a website design company, so it's not going to be any help in contacting anyone actually running the site. Sorry.

EDIT: This was supposed to be after my other post but I must have been viewing this one...
 
Here is a copy of the email correspondence:

Dear Golden Gate Geckos,

My name is Tim Buchinger, and I am the owner of Learn-Animals.com. I am currently developing it as an ongoing project.
Recently I have been working on the Leopard Gecko section. I came across your site today at www.goldengategeckos.com, and it is a great
resource.

I am developing our Leopard Gecko links section now, and was wondering if you would like to exchange links with my site. You can put whatever you feel is most appropriate for the link, but I have provided you with the HTML below so you can just copy-and-paste it.

<a href="http://www.learnanimals.com/leopard-gecko/" title="Leopard Geckos">Leopard Gecko Resources</a>

As a gesture of good faith I have added your website to my Leopard Gecko resources page at
http://www.learnanimals.com/leopard-gecko/resources.php

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email me back at any time. You may also call me at 1-416-688-8503.

Thank you very much,

Tim Buchinger

Hello Tim,

I will be happy to put a link to your website on the LINKS page of my
website, however I would like to point out that the leopard gecko you have
pictured here: http://www.learnanimals.com/leopard-gecko/ has an extremely severe case of Metabolic Bone Disease (MBD). This is due to lack of proper
calcium supplementation, inappropriate temperatures, and poor husbandry,
which results in the rubbery limbs being curled and twisted in permanent
disfigurement. I really have a problem adding the link to "Learn Animals"
with this page on my website, as I feel it depicts a sad and pitiful example
of a seriously neglected leopard gecko.

Please let me know if I can assist you further and/or provide a photograph
of a healthy and thriving leopard gecko, and any other care information.

Regards,
Marcia McGuiness
