• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    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....

I bought a gecko from Urban reptiles a little over 4 months ago and she had a noticeable bulge on her that i presumed was nothing. a birth defect if you will, since i assumed UR to be FAR to reputable a buisness to knowingly sell a damaged/ill animal. but a few weeks later it just really bothered me so i contacted them about the strange bulge. initialy they were quick to answer and told me it was harmless, and i was contented. but when i came to the realization later that it was not harmless its when i started seeing some shadyness.

the moment i insinuated that the issue was in fact medical and vet worthy they dissapeared from contact completely. they didnt answer any of my emails and i sent three. it was as if they intentionally sold me an animal they knew to be damaged and then when i found out they dissapeared without a trace. i am horribly dissapointed and shocked that a buisness would handle itself this way. I was never beligerant or nasty, nor was i unreasonable in my contacts but i just wanted someone to talk to me.

these are the email exchanges we had (may it be noted that that bulge she has is now TWICE the size and in danger of exploding)

they answered me one time, then never again.
now, to save this geckos life, i have to pay over $300 for her procedures. and UR seems to be happily content with giving me poor quality animals with the intent to make me pay for her care when she was like this when they had her.
