That's what the bozo types in response to me calling my albino leopard gecko a Tremper albino.

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.....

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....
I swear some people are just stupid

considering there are three strains of albinos you need to differeniate (cant spell) between the three by refering to their founding name or equivalent. What started this?

This did. I should expect it considering the the caliber of some of the people who frequent that site.

Just go with it and have some fun...tell them that "it's the thing to do now"...everyone's naming their own morphs! It's the "in" thing in the gecko community...lol (hey that's sorta true) Or better yet, ask them if they have any "non-blingers"! Just kidding, though...I guess it's now your job to try to do some educatin'...have fun

Consider the source with this clown. Here is a comment from one of his posted auctions:
Please no more bids on this reptile! This reptile has passed away; due to what looks like impact. She has not defecated in over 7 months.
I however was not worried since I read on a field study that they do not go in the wild for up to a year. Obviously this is not true, or healthy.
Sorry for any inconvenience this has caused anyone…
Obviously this person is about as sharp as a marble.

Gosh...some people!
One time on another forum, months back, I posted asking for some name suggestions (my breeder name-Heavensent Herps;I didn't have a name then). Someone replies back saying how he was agrivated with me, and how I always gave out the wrong info and acted like I knew it all! He said something like "Just today I saw her tell someone a good warm side for a blood python was 88 degress!!" ......
Umm...funny how 88 degrees is a good warm side for blood pythons. Geez Louise...
Anyways, you should tell him "Oh my, you didn't know that! Where do you think the name leopard gecko came from?! A leopard discovered the gecko!!! Duh!"

I like that.
It just ticks me off that people will slam you, when they have no idea what they are talking about.
I PURPOSELY listed it as a Tremper to avoid people emailing asking what line it was. This way everyone knew what line it was and if they weren't looking for that, they could bypass the ad.
If you have never heard of a Tremper albino, ask what it is. That would make much more sense to me then saying I "stuck a tag" on it. Of course, it doesn't seem that this guy is all too bright anyways.

Warning, not leo related but stupid people related. . .
I work at a reptile store and we sell White's tree frogs. I can't count how many times I've heard, "This frog ain't white" or "I don't see a white frog" or "Where's the white frog, all I see are green ones". Half the time even when you explain to the person that the frog was named after the person who founded it, you can see it went right over their head. A few even say, "well it's not white so it shouldn't be called white".
Here's another good one. Picture this: 6 newborn bearded dragons sunning themselves in their basking spot. A group of people are looking at them and one looks at the price, $49, and says, "Man I'm sittin' on a gold mine. These are all over my backyard." So I pipe in, "Wow, you live in Australia?" He looks really puzzled and says, "No, I live in Potosi".
Hahahahaha It went right over his head.

I beleive you, if you only knew how many stupid people walk into the petshop that I work at on the side...
I was holding one of the ball pythons (about 3 ft), and some one walks up to me and says "Eww... is that a snake?" (typical response from most girls) and I said "Yep, it's a ball python." "Isn't it going to eat you?" "Nope, it's far too small, and has been raised since a hatchling" The kid replies, "You're disgusting!"...
Ok...I could understand if the snake was disgusting...but how did I become disgusting? tsk, tsk, tsk..
And one time I was cleaning the Boa's cage, and some guy walks up and says "Do you like snakes? I used to have 2 Boa's myself" I said, "Yep, I have quite a few boas" "You do know that that boa's gonna get 12 ft. long, right? What are you gonna do with it then?" "Well, while it is possible for a female BCC or even BCI to get that large, this is a male BCI (columbian) and he probably wont go past the 8 ft. mark. He will also probably sell before he ever reaches that size (about 2 ft then)" "Well Mine were both 11-12ft. long" "Were they females? And BCC's?" "Yes.. whats a BCC?" "A BCC is a Boa Constrictor Constrictor, they get larger than Boa Constrictor Imperators. Like was it a Suriname or Peruvian?" "They were female Peruvians" "See, they will get bigger than a columbian male" "Ya but they got 12 ft."
And then I just walked off cus I had enough of this loony.. It was fine when he asked the first few questions, but wven after I explained it to him he kept on insisting the snake would be 12ft long before we sold it... *shrugs*
Ok enough of my stories, I just had to get that one off my back.

I know this is the wrong thread but I think it applys. I am reminded of one of my favorite lines from one of my favorite movies.
