    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....

Sapphire Dragon Ranch ( INQUIRY)

I have not personally dealt with him. However, I have talked to him a couple times. He was very nice and knowledgable. I do have a good friend that has bought dozens of dragons from him and has only relayed positive things.
 
Great place to do business with. I ordered a male blizzard leopard gecko in Nov. 2001. Came in very healthy, alert, they had timely service, and a great price. he i still doing great and is breeding with several females! I would not hesitate to do business with them anyday.
Thanks

I have nothing good to say about SDR. I bought a BD from them and regret doing so. Unfortunately I did not know about the BOI at the time. This is the only place I had problems with.
The BD was not eating, and the only reply I got from SDR was "take it to a vet". That was it!!!!
She is still not the size she is supposed to be, if you would like I can show a pic of her vs. one that I bought at about the same time last summer.

I can say without hesitation that I won't buy from him again. Bought a Bearded Dragon from him several months ago and even though I found him to be knowledgable, very arrogant. That in itself wasnt a big deal and could deal with. But the dragon came (paid more for one from him than any other dragon I own) It wouldnt eat, and very listless. Called Sapphire got no response, wrote and email expressing my concern and any help he could provide. Told to "leave it alone and it will be fine" with the implication to not bother him again. It did survive but is not what I would call normal to this day.
His customer service after the sale was pathetic. He showed no concern for the animal. And at least this bearded dragon isnt worth what was paid. He is the only reptile dealer I have bought from that I will not ever buy from again!!!
 
Ive talked...

Ive talked to them before about some crested geckos, they seem very nice and I would buy from them if they had something I wanted at the moment!
 
I would buy from again

I bought 3 ember dragons from. These dragons are high red. He was very helpful in answering any questions I had. I would highly recommend spending the extra money on his dragons. They are well worth the investment.


Thanks,
Lovell Romans
