Hi Chris, Thanks so much! I could not imagine that the packages did not get sorted somewhere! I thought the use of centralized hubs was a large part of what makes UPS efficient! I probably spent half an hour on the phone with UPS, and they did tell me lots of stuff, just irrelevant and not

Hi Chris and Julie, I guess I need to find out who my rep is! I did talk with a supervisor, even got his name, but he was not too useful! I hadn't thought of saving the tracking info -- good tip Julie! Thanks, Melody Julie Bergman wrote: CHRIS SCHWEITZER wrote: Hi Melody, I work for

Hi there! Well, at the herp show today i was finally able to get my brother interested in geckos, something i've been trying to do for a while i might add. I was thinking he could get started with a crested, but he wasn't too keen on them. When i showed him some leaf-tails, he thought they were

Although I definitely wouldn't recommend Uro's for beginner geckos, if I had to choose one of the easiest it would definitely have to be henkeli. Make sure you get a well-started cb baby...the older the better. Good luck. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL
