    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 live very close to him in NJ, and he actually used to be a customer of mine at my previous job (auto repair). I have been to his house and seen his faculity. Although I have never bought from him myself his animals seem healthy and well taken care of. I know its not much info but I hope this helps.
 
I bought a cham from Charlie Dube last month. My overall feeling regarding the transaction is mixed.

The cham was advertised as an adult female ambilobe panther. Charlie shipped when he said he would, so that part was ok. He shipped in a box without any styrofoam lining, and simply put the cham in a container, surrounded it with styrofoam peanuts, and put in a heat pack. Given that it was early March and he's in New Jersey, I figured we were lucky the cham made it here alive.

As far as the cham itself is concerned, I told Charlie that I was disappointed in it's size. It was only 3.5" snout to vent, which I don't consider to be adult. I have a 5 month old ambilobe that is larger than that. I contacted Charlie a few days after the sale and asked for a partial refund since the cham didn't appear to be an adult. He refused, saying that it is an adult and I should have said something immediately after receiving it. I sent back picks of several adults (5" snout to vent), and one of the cham he sent, to show my point. He didn't return my emails.

So my overall opinion - Charlie does appear to be an honest person. However, get a length and weight on the cham before sending any money, and then wait for a really warm day in NJ before you let him ship. Make sure you ask him his policy on a DOA just in case his packing skills don't improve.
