• 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.....

    =====================


    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 just completed my 2nd transaction with Marcial. Ten years ago, I bought a beautiful GTP that Marcial produced. That critter has been a hardy, problem-free animal from the start...not to mention being being one of the best examples of an Aru type GTP that I've seen.
Recently, I purchased another GTP from Marcial. The transaction went off without a hitch, in part because of Marcial's level of communication. All steps in the process (i.e. communication, packing, etc) were handled as professionally as is possible. The animal itself is spectacular. Marcial provided photos of the animals ancestors and a lineage chart, as well as detailed feeding records.
Marcial has a great reputation in the GTP community because he is a knowledgeable, ethical guy who has high standards. I would never hesitate to refer a friend to Marcial for the purchase of any herp.
 
Just received a snake from Marcial and am very happy with the transaction. He has great communication and extremely easy to deal with. I have friends that have bought from him in the past and are also happy with the transaction and animal. I recommend giving him a shot if he has a animal you are interested in.
 
I have a couple of animals I've bought from Marcial and am definitely 110% satisfied. I see him regularly at shows in the southeast, his animals are always top notch. I have also had the privelege of seeing his collection and can say that he takes incredible care of his collection. He's as good as it gets, great guy, you won't find a better person to deal with.
 
Totally agree. I purchased this beautiful ETB from Marcial and he was awesome!

Marcial is a fellow chondro enthusiast, a great guy, and an overall Rock Star.
Guys like him are far and few inbetween, and you should never have any concerns about doing business with him. You'll be very happy you did!

Sincerely,
Gary Schiavino
 
I know Marcial personally and am in line to purchase a couple animals he's working with.. 10/10 a fantastic guy with A+ quality animals!
