    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....

Merry Christmas all and my list of Good Guys that have personal helped me and many through this year.

Axe- for doing all the webwork and getting what I wanted up fast!

Dr Jean Pare- for caring about reptile enough to dedicate many hours to research, arguing with me and drive us both, that has taken us leaps this year in identifying and treating YFD in Lizards species

JoelR (Roberts) for the awesome female bearded dragons he tormented me with for months then presenting her to me at Daytona. The only person to finally make me speechless!

Erica and Mike @ Mother Gecko for being two of the nicest people I ever met at a show, they had no idea who I was and spend much time making sure I knew the basics, because they really care

Grimdog (Derek and Kelly) who helped me out when I was flooded with too many bearded dragon rescues, but knew they needed help and graciously accepted and aided them.

Neil, for helping me out in a panic to get an animal shipped and opening his home to me unannounced to get a first hand look and know what to beleive with the Tampa mess!

Dana and Loren Pennebaker, for sharing some of the same beliefs I have for the future and always being there.

Mickey!!! The lizard King, who is a King without Lizards! People can take some lessons from this man and be a better person for it.

Jeremy of Neodesha Cages for making sure we had the housing for some rescues when I was flooded.

William @ reptilefood.com, what he did can never be appreciated enough at a time that was so needed

Ronnie @ cricketfood.com advice, supplies and just general being a good friend, always there and always helpful

Dr Carolyn Kohn and Dr Ivan Alphonso who listen to my thoughts and were not afraid to try them and help me test somethings, then encouraged me so much... OMG, look what we did!!!!!

ChristyJ who specially designed a hammock to support my girl that is bigger than most dragons, so she could enjoy them like the others without ripping and falling.

Jeff and Jack from Armstrong Cricket(s), always so funny and caring, these guys know how to do business and still have FUN!

Karen Termaat, who loved her dragons so much, but wanted them in a good home when she could not keep them, so by passed many offers and gave them to me, one that is the largest dragon known to be in captivity and so well taken care of by her.

Webslave, for not only providing us this site, but having the safest, most secure set up at any show, I would love to see others mimic this... beside the wonderful healthy animals he provides.

Jeff Spelling, Arnie is all we hoped for and looked for, for months....

THANK YOU ALL, it has made for a very blessed year!

And a big thanks from the bearded dragon community back to Cheri. Over the past few years she has done such important research and brought forward priceless information on health care for dragons. Not to mention all the work that went into bringing some much needed fresh genes into the country!

And a personal thanks for keeping me up to date on it all, LOL!

Dana
 
Im going to have to agree with Dana yet again.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Cheri for a few years now (I think 3). We first met at the first Tampa Show I did, and fast became friends. She is one of the kindest people I have met in this industry in 8 plus years. And the things she has done for the care of bearded dragons, and herps in general are an example for others to follow.

Id also like to add a few names to the good guys list that I may have forgotten in the past.

Justin Hykel of shelby reptiles. He and I have been friends for many years, and he was one of the first people to "get" my love of herps. He and Kris have traveled to many shows with me helping me as much as anyone can.

Dave Tracer aka ophidile. He hooked me up with some of the best boas I have ever seen. Not bad for a guy who likes "worms" and turtles and couldnt tell a nice boa from an ugly one.

Alex @ Boa Repulic. I cant belive I forgot to mention him the last few times. He produces some of the best boas on earth, and is a great guy to deal with. Two thumbs up.

Frank Ball of Florida (business name slips my mind) Many people will have no clue who he is, but hes got some of the best looking boas Ive seen, and in the upcoming years if luck holds up he will be known well by many. Ive known Frank for years, and any time Im in Florida I make sure I give him a call. Hes also sold me some of the best common and het anery columbians Ive ever seen. Colors you wouldnt believe and healthy as a horse. This guys animals rock.

Im sure I still forgot a ton of people and sadly (from my wallets point of view atleast) the list grows every day it seems.

Mickey Hinkle
The lizard KIng Reptiles
 
Don Soderberg- Super nice guy, excellent quality, have several Cornsnakes & an Albino Nelsons from him.

Rich Z- I have a very nice, high yellow, Butter Cornsnake from Rich, top quality snakes, excellent to deal with.

Howie Sherman/Striker Herps- Got to meet Howie at one of the reptile shows. I purchased one of the brightest, high yellow Desert Kingsnakes I've ever laid eyes on from him. AS a matter of fact, the King I bought from him was intended to be a holdback, or at the very least, priced higher then some of the others. He honored the mistake he made on the price that was listed on the deli-cup. Howie Sherman is A+ in my book. Super quality animals. Thanks Howie

Serpents Den- Purchased an adult Mexican Black Kingsnake from them. The snake was very healthy, 100% pure glossy jet black as advertised. Would purchase from them again.
