    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....

Up until last night I had only met Kevin online but while visiting Illinois, he came by our place to look at our ball collection. We had a great visit and before leaving he purchased a pair of Mojave ball pythons from us. Kevin seems to study and have a vast knowledge of the reptiles he keeps and sells as well. He also specializes in wildlife photography, his pictures are truly works of art. Kevin is a great stand up guy that we will do more business with in the future.
 
Kevin is a great guy. He's still in the process of getting things together to do the breeding thing fulltime, but he's got great values and will treat you right.
 
Thanks Darin... I had a wonderfull time at your place... I only wish I could have stayed longer (2 hours just wasnt enough) cause its always nice to talk to folks that share the same interests... and of course had ALOT more money... you definatley had a few things I was interested in.

But thats ok... cause I will be contacting you later for some more purchases.



Thanks Mike... One of these days your gonna have to venture to AR to see my facilities. I guess you could say Im still gettin breeders. 7 days into the year... and I will already have 19 new snakes for future breeders (Corns, Ball, & Boas)
 
I've had several dealings with Kevin of Ridgetop Reptiles over the last three years or so. In fact, he has been my best customer. I've sold him a lot of snakes and we've done some trading. I have always been happy with the dealings that Kevin and I have done and I will continue to do business with him.

Last week Kevin made a road trip to my breeding facilities. We had a good time talking herps and doing business. I trust the man enough to let him open my enclosures to photograph my animals without my supervision.....and that's saying a lot right there.
 
Kevin was a pleasure to deal with. Haven't bought anything from him, but he's gotten animals from me, and it was a very smooth transaction. Not a doubt in my mind if he had something I wanted, the transaction would go equally smooth. :thumbsup:

Thanks Rick... Hope to be doing business again with you in the future... expecially since you wouldnt part with "Lucy" your beautiful sunglow.
 
I am a little late to the game, but, here goes. I am new to fauna and I found a gecko that my son wanted. Apprehensively, I made a deal with ridgetop. It went flawlessly! Kevin helped me through the process and the animal arrived in perfect condition (when scheduled). I would not hesitate, even for a second, to do business with kevin again. Thanks again Kevin.

I recently purchased a corn from Kevin and he was able to get her to me today. He'd been hanging onto her until temps warmed up enough.

Packaging was great, very professional and you could tell he really thought things out. She arrived safe and sound, and no worse for the trip.

The animal herself is amazing, and has obviously been well taken care of.

Thanks Kevin. It was a pleasure.
 
Kevin's been wonderful enough to hold 3 corns and 2 cresties for me for well over a month until it was safe enough to ship. They arrived this morning and I'm thrilled with the lot of them. Thank you so much!
