    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....

Spectrum Reptiles "Barry Lambert"

Yes, I have........

I've done business with him and you tend to get a better deal when he's had his afternoon nap or hasn't missed a meal. :crazy03: He's been around awhile and tells it like he sees it and will correct something if it's wrong. He's done business with everything from little Johnny to Zoological institutions and likes the fact that he doesn't do this for a living, but rather loves the animals.....

Ooops....his favorite color is green, loves little puppies, and wants world peace.......

Ha ha ha.....

Barry-Good Guy

I recently purchased a Radiated Tortoise from Barry and he had to ship it to me way out here in Michigan. It arrived well packaged and on time. It was my first transaction with him and I had my reservations because it was a fairly high dollar purchase, but everything went very smoothly and he was very prompt with his responses and contacts. I would not hesitate to do business with him again in the future (and I probably will, lol).

How did you get a Radiated shiped to you out of state?

Because I operate under a USF&W CBW permit..... :)

That is what I figured, I just was not sure if both the seller and the buyer needed a permit or not. I know I was looking into getting a permit to get some animals shipped to Florida and it seemed like a pretty lengthy process.
 
USF&W Permit

The process wasn't all that lengthy as long as you fill out the application adequately and satisfactorily. I received my permit pretty quickly. That's how I was able to do business with Barry.

Good Guy When Belly is Full

I can vouch for the good natured part of Barry when he is adequately fed. I once saw him consume an entire crab trap worth of Alaskan crab legs one night for dinner at the Hilton hotel during the Daytona Expo. He followed that up by inhaling a large pizza for lunch by himself the next day. Well fed man and happy as a clam the whole weekend. Good deals soon followed.

In all seriousness, Barry is a good guy in the hobby and does what he says he will do, does it promptly and with professionalism.

Ha Ha Ha!!

And ya know the funny thing is??.....When I was eating those crab legs and looking across the table at John, I thought I was looking in the mirror. Every bite for bite............Spooky....... :eatpointe
