• 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....

Just picked up a batch of Dubia roaches from Mike.

He's great with returning emails/communication. The roaches arrived on time, well packed and not a dead one in the bunch. Actually much bigger than I expected which is a plus.

Would not hesitate to do business with Mike again. Gonna have to try his roach diet because if thats what he's feeding these monsters I need some too!

After seeing how Mike & Antoinette handled the issue with Dale Ross in this thread, I went ahead and ordered some dubias from them. Just got my roaches, I didn't see a single dead one, and the communication from both of them was great. I'd definitely order from them again.

I was thinking the same thing!
I also knew a guy named Tom Nelson(I believe?) who owned a reptile wholesaler named Greatlakesreptiles in MI.
