    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....

Good Guy Stephen Cemelli of Leapin Leachies-- great guy!

Seeing this post reminded me of how great my transactions with Leapin' Leachies have been. I got 2 gargoyles from him at the Myrtle Beach show last year, one from auction to benefit a member of the reptile community who was in an accident, and one that I bought from his table. Both are doing amazingly well, and I am grateful for the advice he gave me about suitable habitats.
 
I have recently got into leachianus geckos. Every single person I talked to about them pointed me straight to Steve from Leapin' Leachies. I text and called and asked many questions. I told him what I wanted from a leachie and we talked for a long time via phone and text about care. He made absolutely sure I knew what I was doing, and made sure I understood his instructions about care. He was a great guy to talk to and deal with. I now have my 2nd gecko from him. Leachies are expensive and an investment so I made sure I dealt with someone I felt comfortable with. Steve was definitely that person. He never seemed bothered by my endless questions, and took the time to explain everything thoroughly. I will do all my business with him in the future when it comes to Leachies.
 
I've purchased a couple of animals from Steve Cemelli and all have turned out exactly as he stated. Steve is One of Very few trusted Breeders in the gecko hobby today. If you find what you are looking for at Leapin Leachies you better pick it up because it won't last long!
 
I just purchased a year old Nuu Ana leachianus gecko from Steve at Leapin' Leachies at the New England Reptile Expo. He was very knowledgeable in his care instructions and knowledge of various lines. I am incredibly happy with my purchase and when I look to buy another leachie, I'll go to him and Leapin' Leachies first.
