    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....

Hello Everyone!
I have completed several deals with Matt Bruner of MB REPTILES.
Everytime has been smooth sailing!
He makes larger lot purchases from me and he always pays promptly.
There is no waiting and wondering what is happening.
Matt and I are able to conduct quick, friendly business everytime!
Most often the animals are bought and shipped within a couple hours of speaking on the phone. Sometimes it is even quicker!
He is always good about calling me when the animals arrive, so that I know they made a safe journey. It is always a pleasure to deal with someone who is both honest and GREAT about timely communication.
Of course, Matt's trustworthy reliability is the best part of dealing with him.
MB Reptiles offers QUALITY animals.
You can buy from MB Reptiles with the confidence that you are getting the best, well cared for animals.... at reasonable prices!
Obviously, I highly recommend Matt Bruner!
Thanks again. :thumbsup:

Hello Tyson,
I sincerely doubt that Matt Bruner is trying to play any games with you.
He is likely just busy. Sometimes it takes a little persistance to get in touch with a person who is always on the fly. Try giving him a call again.
Phone is usually the best method of reaching him.
I am sure Matt is not avoiding you. He is a very reasonable and honest guy.
Try calling the shop during business hours. Good luck.

I ordered some roaches from Matt a couple months ago and had a lot of communication problems as well. The order didn't ship as I was told it would, and when I called, I was told the weather had changed and it was too cold to ship. He said he'd try shipping again the next week.

That was the last time I talked to him for about a month. I emailed about 6 times, and called repeatedly. I got one of his staff on the phone a couple times, only to be told Matt would be right back and they'd have him call me right back. That never happened.

Eventually, I did get Matt on the phone. He apologized profusely, saying he'd been overwhelmed and he'd ship the next Monday.

This time, the bugs did arrive as promised, very healthy looking, extremely well packaged and with a very generous over count. That fact salvaged what was shaping up to be a pretty crappy transaction. Matt seemed like a pretty nice guy when I did talk to him, and genuinely seemed sorry for the foul up, so maybe he really is a guy who's business has grown faster than he was ready for.

All in all, I'd give him an "A" for the critters, an "A" for packaging, and a "D" for communication. Call it a "C" experience.

Tyson,

I believe that you didn't want to pay the extra that I was asking for a female Bumble bee to which I was asking the going rate on other classified sites for my females. You thought it was not a fair price, even though I forwarded you ads that were asking $800.00 more for animals weighing 200 grams more than my females. You ended up wanting a pair of womas, to which I was asking more than I gave you in trade value. I called it even and paid for your shipping. Here is the fedex tracking number if you don't remember. 792029828883
