    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 recently sold a pair of crested geckos to Mitchell Kirk. The sale went very smoothly thanks to his knowledge on the animals (something I've definitely come to find is not always the case), as well as his consistent communication. He was very easy to reach, and when inquiring about my geckos, he asked the RIGHT questions. A lot of people seem too concerned with payment/shipping, and forget to be sure to learn the background of the animal they are purchasing. Mitch seems to keep good track of the history of his animals, which is an often overlooked trait in reptile keeping.

Per my request, Mitchell promptly updated me once the geckos arrived. He was very familiar with shipping protocol as well as the habits of his local carriers, which made the process ever more convenient.

From what I have seen, Mitchell also has some great-looking geckos! I strongly considered purchasing one during the process. I would not doubt one bit that he would be as terrific a person to buy from as he was to sell to, and plan to recommend him to anyone who may inquire in the future!
