    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....

As I look at the BOI, it's pretty sad that there are so many "Bad Guy" posts. I guess it's a sad fact that if there's money involved in a situation, people will try to cheat.

Soooo......I thought I'd put my two cents in on a guy who is one of the better people I've dealt with in my 40 years on the hobby.

I know Steve Osborne is one of the better known breeders in the US, but I just got a baby Gila from him, and it couldn't have gone better if I bought it from my own brother.
First, the Gila is amazing. Huge, gorgeous, eats great, super healthy, and if he grows up to look anything like his parents, he could be a movie star.
Second, there was a partial trade involved, and I screwed my end up twice. Nothing to get too crazy about, but through the whole transaction, Steve was the complete gentleman, never complaining, just cool calm and breezy.

If anyone ever sees and likes an animal Steve is selling, don't hesitate for a moment. I'd do business again with Pro Breeders in a heartbeat.

Steve Osborne of Pro Breeders is a really good guy, one of the best. I buy gila's from all the rep. breeders and I was really impressed with steve and the way he handles himself. If there is ever a time you see something steve has that you want, jump on it. His animals never last long on the market. Steve you are great and I cant wait to grab some more gila babys from you. talk to you soon.


Thanks
