    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....

Are these people OK to buy from, if known? This is a pre-purchase inquiry.  <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>  Thanks..
 
Shannon has some of the best milks in the business.  he is a regular on the KS forums and is very helpful.  I bought a package deal of odds and ends a few years back and everything was great.  Don't worry about doing business with him, he will treat you right.

As a matter of fact, I'm saving money to get a pair of pale milks from him.

I have delt with Shannon on several occassions he is honest and represents his animals well. The first deal I did with him I recieved the animals and they were healthy, arrived on time ect. But they were not quite what I was looking for I sent them back full refund no questions asked. Note that was before I was on the internet and had no pics available instantly. So I would buy with confidence.

SHANNON BROWN?


 I have about 4 snakes in my CLOSED collection that I got from Shannon Brown. What can I say about the guy that you havent allready heard?

#1) He is an an honest businessman.
     (A rarity in todays market)

#2) He has a wide variety of expereince with a wide variety
     of snakes. SURe he specializes in milksnakes, but he also
     breeds corns, boas, bullsnakes, and a whole host of other
     things.

#3) He is NEVER mentioned negativley on the Board of Inquiry
      despite selling hundreds of snakes every year.

#4) Hes a family man and a good guy, not a saint mind you
     but someone Id buy from any time, and have.

                      There you have it


                            Go forth and  bu snakes!

I have purchased twice from him.  He prices his animals reasonably, does not jack up shipping, and is great to deal with.  I would highly recommend dealing with him, he has some of the best Milks around.

pitbull... people will say anything to boost someone's buisness. some will be good and some bad. with that said he , mr brown is know's his buisness but will not listen to you as to how to ship to a cold climate. i had got 4 mex mex. from him. when i got them 2 were dead. i told him and he refused to make good on them. so it is up to you and your decision's as to what you should do....goodluck.....
 
I just caught this, and I'd have to say, Shannon is a good guy, and a very understanding person.  As far as the Charlie Mutchler post, I wouldn't listen to a word of it.  Charlie WAS a scam artist, but I don't htink he's getting away with much of anything anymore.  Buy from Shannon with impulse.
 
Please understand that I am not some moral vanguard for good breeders of snakes. But, as a breeder,I have developed a small , but good reputation , with my customers and with the public at large. Haveing said all that:

Shannon Brown is a good guy.A close friend of mine, and one that DOESNT know Shannon from Santa Claus, dropped into Shannon house while he was up at Mammoth. I asked him what he saw. His reply was thusley:

      Largest selection of colubrids he had ever seen
     (And hes seen local area breeders with 300+ snakes easy)

     Cleanest collection hed ever seen, not of its size, but
                             PERIOD.

     Most exotic and diverse collection of cutting edge snakes
      hes seen.

    Best customer service he has ever had, questions answered
    Snakes shown, and proudly so, by someone that does
    this because they LIKE it. Go figure........

    My friend has seen analy clean collections(mine)
    My friend has  witnessed really LARGE collections
    with 300+ babies being produced.

    My friend was shocked.

    I wasnt.

    Shannon Brown,High Sierra Reptiles
    As a fellow snake breeder of high quality boids/indigos
    and pituophis,I tip my hat to him.

                          Sincerely,
