    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....

Made my first order with Rich/Reptile Basics about a week ago. I was very happy with his customer service and his products. He has a new customer for life! Got my order VERY quick and I could not be more happy. Thanks Rich and keep up the good work! Would recommend to anyone...

I've made many purchases from Rich over the years, from animals to feeders to tons of supplies. I have never walked away from a transaction with him anything but happy and he deals in some of the best husbandry equipment in the industry.

I have bought from Rich a few times over the years... racks and supplies. Always prompt shipping and great customer service.

Great customer service !!
I just bought a VE 300 x2 from him and works fine plus other supplies and he is the guy to go to for supplies and he answers all questions very quickly.

I've purchased a bit from rich over the years... picked up some VE-300's when they first came out as well as a few more recently. gotta say his customer service is awesome and from personal experience at shows he's a really nice guy.
 
I've ordered supplies from Rich online as well as get stuff from him in person at shows. Great guy, great company, I'd recommend Reptile Basics to anyone.
 
I've made a few purchases from Rich and have always been impressed by the speed in which he gets things out and the quality of the products he offers. I just recently ordered a VE-200 and a VE-100 to be used as a failsafe. Package arrived just a few days after I ordered and I got a little bonus. I noticed a handwritten note on the receipt, "free ve200 upgrade" and low and behold, there were 2 VE-200s in the box. Pretty sweet upgrade if you ask me, I'll continue doing business with the good folks at Reptile Basics.
 
I also just received my up-teenth order from Rich. He's super easy to deal with, knows his stuff and I always end up with exactly what I needed.
Rich is highly recommended to anyone looking to buy.

Thanks Reptile Basics!
 
I have ordered various supplies several times from Reptile Basics. They have good prices in my experience and shipping is quick to send out, as well as get here.
