    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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....

I recently acquired a 100% het baby male albino ball python from Michael Castillo and I could not be more pleased with the whole transaction.

1. He replied almost immediately when I first inquired about purchasing a ball.
2. He has answered NUMEROUS questions that I have sent him regarding everything from care of ball pythons to the type of ball pythons he had available.
3. He's replied to every email in a very timely fashion.
4. He was never pushy or tried to harass me into a sale. In fact he recommended I go to a local show and see if anything else might catch my eye.
5. He has been very accommodating in terms of meeting me and delivering me the snake.
6. The baby ball python is healthy, mite-free, active, and has already eaten two hopper mice.
7. He's given me this level of customer service despite the fact that this particular transaction was for a low-dollar snake. He treated me the same as if I were buying a high dollar snake from him.

As I said, I was very pleased with the transaction and would do business with Michael again in a heartbeat. In fact I have already pre-paid for a female 100% het albino ball python that he just hatched out. Once she has fed a few times, I'll be picking her up.
 
This post is a long time coming, but I didn't forget.
I purchased a nice very looking male mojave from Michael last year. Advertised as feeding on f/t, I was somewhat disappointed when he wouldn't eat; but I had several BPs off feed at the time, so I didn't worry about it. After quarantine, still not feeding, I decided to put him with a female...which was an idea he seemed to like - he's quite an aggressive breeder. While it took some time to get the little guy feeding strongly on f/t rats again, this time, the onset of cool weather hasn't had an impact. He's feeding, and breeding, and looks as good as ever.

Thanks again, Michael.
 
I also wanted to mention that I picked up 1.1 beautiful baby spider BPs from Michael earlier this month. They arrived healthy, exactly as advertised, and have eaten every time I've offered.

Thanks Michael! :thumbsup:
