    **************************************************
    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 engaged in a trade with Christine Schorr and Phillip Hemingway of GKO Reptiles [www.gkoreptiles.com], and every aspect was fantastic.

They contacted us about an ad we had up on kingsnake.com about a trade for our female RAPTOR. They shipped first, 5 beautiful super hypo female leopard geckos, their packaging, shipping container and paperwork were fantastic.

Throughout the whole deal, there was great communication, they answered our emails and phone calls the same day as we sent them, answered all of our questions back and forth, and were fine that we waited a week to ship our female RAPTOR [because the temps were too high in their area to risk it].

They called us as soon as she arrived to let us know she got there okay, which we always appreciate.

David and I are both VERY satisfied with the whole deal, they are great people, and I would definitely buy from them again.

here are some pictures of the box and the girls fresh out of the box when we received it.

We found you again! Thanks for the kind words Tamara and David! Your little girl was named "Leto" and is growing like a weed! Hopefully next breeding season she will be producing some gorgeous offspring with our male reverse stripe het RAPTOR.

On a side note, David and Tamara were also extremely compliant throughout the entire trade! They too called immediately after the package arrived, and within minutes, they had already sent pictures of each one of the girls letting us know that they made it all the way to California (from Florida) allright. This trade was by far the smoothest exchange that Phillip and I (Christine) have ever experienced! Again, thanks so much for the kind words and great response!
