    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....

Vincent Russello, attempting a scam

Hypothetical: Well planned for next weekend. By that time, the little fellow should have been able to soak in as much of the red or orange food coloring that you would have been able to get for him. I wonder though, were you able to get any in just the right shade? Being it is Easter weekend, yeah I guess the stores had plenty of variety on hand...

Virtual Reality: I just keep wondering why this has not yet been accomplished. Meeting the person at your doorway would take all of about a minute or two at most with all the necessary formalities and politeness. Bringing the photographer to the animal, from the doorway of your house, would take what, maybe a minute, if you have a normal sized house even less. Admiring the animal another minute. Taking out the camera and setting it up, another minute. Taking about 5 shots in various lighting conditions less than 10 minutes - and that is probably a stretch. Agreeing with the photographer that the picture actually looks close enough to the same color as the lizard to please you - hmm let's say a minute, but I can see how this might drag things out for YOU. Uploading the pic onto the internet so we all can see it, and doing this while the photographer is still there - about 10 minutes (using a dial up modem, less for cable). Saying goodbye about 1 minute. I think that was 27 minutes. Not a lot of time to spare, you certainly have spared much more responding to this thread.

Now you try to get someone from over 2 or 3 hours drive time away to come to take the pics, I thought you had offers for a local to do this. Did I misread that? Why wait? Why the delay? Why put it off? Is it that you don't want the pics to be taken at all (my guess)? Then again, maybe there is another reason, maybe you really are waiting for the food coloring to soak in (my sarcasm).

Happy Easter and Happy Passover (a true wish for a nice holiday).

Back to bed for me.

Sincerely,
Glenn B
 
I offered to have a friend......

Go over to his house to photograph this animal but He has yet to supply a PH# or a time so.............Who knows.
Happy Easter
Paul Bollinger
 
If I lived in Tampa I would definitely take a cuople of hours and drive there and photo the animal myself. But I live 3 hours east of Tampa so it is a little far. You have had offers of people that live nearby you to photo them so why not supply them with your phone number and such as asked. I believe that Paul has someone local or close to you that will take pics but you won't give him a phone number and time to come by. Also Vince my offer still stands that you send the animal to me, I will photograph it when it arrives, and when it sheds and let everyone see. If the animal is as red as that "first" picture you posted that according to you is the best representation of his color than I will send you the $500 and the animal back. hmmm for someone that said they need money so badly this should be a great opportunity for you instead of buying Red Foot tortoises like you say you are in the post about Bearded Pets.

You know, perhaps we've all been overestimating Vince... perhaps he's just illiterate and cannot actually read?

Vince he offered to give you $500 if YOU WERE RIGHT and HE WAS WRONG and NOT to BUY the gecko.

Nice of you to say "Q & A" is over. So it must be option #3 "Case Closed Vince is a Scam Artist"
 
nope no scam. sorry to see you have to now resort to personal attacks. but it just rolls off my back. rj when i win your 500 im going to go on vaction with it, thanks buddy.

coulndt be more wrong this leo is pure red. and very lovely , sorry you take so much stock in what other on lookers have to say. noone has witnessed the greatness of the one and only red leopard gecko, so how could they possably pass judgement, all you guys are really doing is name calling and finger pointing, lol , i thought that was reserved for middle school childern.
 
First off Vince You have never shown to anyone that you have Ethics by any means. You have shown in every thread that you have a lack there of. Second, you really should FULLY READ every post and try to comprehend them before you reply as it does nothing more than make you look that much more illiterate. Also do you even try to spell corrrectly? I still firmly believe that the animal is NOT like in the FIRST picture you posted of it not only because the picture is enhanced, but because you yourself admitted that it was not the same in the Q&A with Seamus. I still stand by my offer I have been making..... NOW READ THIS CAREFULLY....Send the Gecko to me or Mike from MotherGecko, I will photograph it when it arrives and after a full shed. IF the animal looks like in that picture after the shed Mike will ship you the Gecko back and I will send you $500.of course you won't do this as we all know what your hiding. Now if your serious get the other person to come take a picture of the animal then he can post them on here and that will show a little better but still not be definite.
 
it is not a matter of...

believing everyone else. It is the little matter of your posts, and all the back pedaling you do. like I said I am new here, and have been neutral to this, but go back and read the stuff you wrote, and you will see all of the contrdictions in them. when ever some one has a solution, you will not go along with it, or you come up with a lame exscuse. Rob is very reputable, send it to him, he will solve it once and for all. what is the worse thing that can happen? if it is as red as you claim, you get your gecko back + $500 I will even pay shipping both ways too.
