    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.

    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....

Good Guy Jen Boeke of JBsCresties.com

I got my first crestie ever from JB around 2 years ago, and just became a repeat buyer when I recently purchased an E. Agricolae juvie from her! Not only does she take fantastic care of her geckos, but is amazingly helpful in answering any possible questions you might have and responds ASAP to emails. Both of the animals I received from looked exactly how they were depicted in her beautiful photos, and my crested grew up into one stunning fellow. And when I received my Aggie, she included a full care sheet on them, a sample of peach CGD, and a very tiny agricolae-sized bottlecap to use as a bowl! I fully intend to keep on purchasing from her. :)

You're the best Jen!!
 
I recently purchased Pumpkin Pie from JB. She was great with communication and answering questions and giving advice before and after Pumpkin Pie arrived. Pumpkin Pie was packed really well and arrived safely with a care sheet and a sample of gecko food. You can tell she cares about her geckos and I love her pictures. I would not hesitate to buy from JB again.

I purchased Moose Tracks from JB in the summer of 2011- she was awesome to work with and nice enough to send him to my friend for the summer. I recently bought Sprinkles from her, whom she held for a few months until shipping weather was decent. She was kind enough to combine my order with my friend and made sure everyone was on the same page. Her packaging and labeling were exceptional and she was kind enough to provide both caresheets and samples of CGD to both of us. I anxiously await being able to purchase more of her lovely babies!

I sold Jen a crested gecko last year and can report that she is also a fantastic person when she's on the other side of the table! Always a quick, smooth transaction with great feedback, and follow up pictures and updates never hurt either!

Any transaction with Jen Boeke/JayBee/JB is always going to be first rate.
 
I purchased a group of b. dubia roaches from Jen this week, and they arrived today safe and sound. I don't think there was a single dead roach in the box!

Jen is a fantastic gecko breeder and roach cultivator. Thank you for a great bunch of bugs, definitely exactly what I was looking for.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jen's geckos or roaches to anyone.
 
I recently purchased Jen's "Monticello" and my friend picked up "Tasman"- they were held until shipping weather was appropriate on both ends and then Jen offered to ship. We got the dates worked out, but on the day of delivery, FedEx's tracking kept saying the package wasn't moving, even when it was supposed to arrive within a few hours. I soon learned I was not the only one refreshing obsessively (I was at work at the time), but JB was also on top of the situation. She stayed in constant contact with me the entire time as we gathered information regarding the delay. The little guys ended up spending the night in Memphis before heading up to NY. Jen did not rest (well, I'm sure she did, but you know what I mean) until she knew that both geckos were safe, sound, and healthy. Both geckos were professionally packaged (their paper towels still moist, so there was no dehydration during the long journey!) along with a sample of CGD, a care sheet, and her always adorable business card. Packages from Jen are always fun to open! :)

This is my third time purchasing geckos from JB's Cresties and I certainly hope (my wallet permitting) that it will not be my last! Her dedication to her geckos and her customers is unmatched!
 
I received "Blazer" from Jen today, and I can't be happier. Jen was extremely helpful and patient during the preparation process prior to shipping, and she stayed in contact once the package shipped. The box was well-padded, and Blazer was in great condition once he arrived. I don't think he realized that he'd moved at all.

Thanks, Jen, for another amazing little gecko!

:)
 
I just got Boulder from Jen today. I had to wait almost 4 months for shipping for my little one, it was worth the wait. I was so happy, Jen did an amazing job shipping and keeping in touch with me. I look forward to getting another gecko from JBCresties soon.
 
I just received my first gecko from Jen today (Yrb) and it is nothing short of stellar. High end animals at a great price, I will definitely be shopping at JB's Cresties again! The baby crested gecko is healthy and perfect, and all around A+ animal.

Jen is very professional and organized, I received emails with photos and tracking info in a very timely manner and she maintained great communication throughout. Shipping went smoothly and the little gecko was packed perfectly.

I definitely recommend Jen at JB's Cresties to anyone looking to purchase from her.

I'll be adding photos tomorrow :)
 
Agreeing with everyone else, JB produces stellar animals. I got my two today (Niska and Trent) and I'm sure there will be more to follow. Animals were packaged appropriately, well cared for and stunning to look at.
 
Just received a crestie from Jen - all was awesome! Animal looks great, communication was stellar, and just all around what we've come to know her for - excellent!
 
I recently purchased quiet a few geckos from Jen. It was a pleasure to do business with her.

Jen was very awesome to deal with. She answered all of my questions in a timely manor and was very informative. I have to say, she knows a lot about cresteds and is very dedicated to them. If I ever need to know anything about them I know exactly where I can go to get it..

Besides her amazing knowledge of the species, her geckos come in very healthy and alert. I have no issues with them and they eat the same night they came in. Her pictures are amazing and match the gecko to a T.

I will definitely be purchasing more geckos from Jen and recommend her to any one looking for high quality healthy geckos :)
 
I haven't purchased anything from JB(yet) but I very much plan to in the future, in the meantime I always refer her videos and even look back on them myself when I'm not sure of something. When I first got into crested geckos these were the first videos I saw, and I sure am glad of it!
Great work as always, keep on doing everything you do best!
 
Purchased two AMAZING baby crested geckos from JB's Cresties from the 2012 crop. The attention to every detail during the entire process is second to none. She obviously cares very much for her babies and makes sure that each baby is going to its new home with an owner who is educated in keeping geckos- whether the new owner is a veteran keeper or new to the wonderful world of crested geckos. She sends along tons of info, makes sure that the new owner has access to even more great info, and quickly responds to any questions that the owner might have.

Thank you so much, JB, for the outstanding quality animals and for being a shining example of what a keeper/ breeder/hobbyist should be!

I am looking forward to doing lots more business with you in the future :)

Jen is probably one of my favorite people to buy from. Partly because they're gorgeous little creatures, and secondly because she's always keeping in great contact! This is my second transaction with her, and I received a bright, beautiful and attentive little gecko! Care and health of the gecko always seems to be one of her biggest concerns. And I love that she wants a message when the gecko makes it! That tells me that she really loves her animals and cares where they go, which is important to me as a buyer!
Thanks Jen!

Jen,
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We believe it is very important to show appreciation for those breeders who work hard and are very compassionate about their loved collection. Since the beginning of our inquiry, Jen has excellent communication. Answering any and all questions we may have had in a timely fashion. Her professionalism is outstanding, stating how important her terms and conditions were on her listed geckos.
Finally, when we got the chance to meet our newest member (Dr. Ray Stantz) & Jen and her helpful husband, the baby was in excellent health! Settled in super nicely with us, & eats like a CHAMP! We will definitely continue to purchase from Jen. Her collection is gorgeous, and reflects all the love she puts into her geckos.

Love,

Janel & Richard (Apollo’s Geckos)

DR. RAY STANTZ
 
Okay last March I was getting back into Crested Geckos and bought this flippin cute baby from the fab Jen at JB's Cresties. When I saw him my heart melted. *lol* Working with Jen was a great experience providing great pictures, parent info and fantastic communication. Not to mention we live in the same state so it is hard not to buy all her babies. Haha. Thanks Jen! Definitely check out JB's Cresties if you have not already. She has amazing Crested geckos.

This post is a bit over-due as my purchase from JB was early this year...but basically every wonderful thing that everyone above me has stated is true. Extremely knowledgeable, prompt communication, and excellent animals are all characteristics you can expect from her. Her website is also a great resource for information on crested gecko husbandry and I have referred people on multiple occasions to check it out.

I should also mention that her beautiful geckos are just as weird and quirky as she is... This is not a complaint, but more a warning that JBs enchanting geckos are not for the weak willed or faint of heart.... :thumbsup:

review of jbscresties

Recently purchased a crested gecko from jbscresties.com. JB was incredibly helpful and great to work with the whole way through.

I made a purchase in winter and she was able to hold the gecko free of charge until safe shipping weather rolled around. Packaging was perfect, shipment arrived in time and gecko arrived beautiful, happy and healthy.

Super informative website and will answer any questions by e-mail very quickly! I always got a fast & very helpful response. JB also takes high quality photos and sends you extras upon request that was very much appreciated.

You can tell she also cares a great deal for her little critters. I really can't say enough good things about her. Everything went perfectly and I will definitely purchase from her again in the future if I need a another gecko! :thumbsup:
