    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 just received a pair of Blacktail Cribos from John @ Black Peal Reptiles, wonderful snakes, excellent packaging. I look forward to doing more business in the very near future. Thanks John!
 
You must have picked up his Chuck Elliott pair. I received the lone male from John's breeders. Beautiful snake, excellent packaging and prompt service. All in all very professional. This is my second purchase from Black Pearl. Earlier I purchased 2.2 of his lined pines and I will look forward to dealing with him again.

I have a feeling he end up with a lot of my money. I will be buying my mussurans, yellow tail cribos, and lined pines from him, not to mention a few other things. I'm in serious trouble with the wife. Ive spend about 4,000 in the last two months on snakes lol.
 
heheheh You sound like me I've spent nearly that in the last couple of months. I just received a shipment today of 2 clutches of pyros. At least my wife said I might have to buy one of those from you. I told her I would give her a good deal. LOL I will vouch for the quality of his linis they are gorgeous very secretive compared to my northern pines.
 
I wish I knew you wanted pyros. I had some AZ Mtn Kings hatch this year. I had 7 of them and gave them all away, and the parents. we can't sell natives here. I was thinking about feeding them to the dry's...well not really lol.
 
I wish I knew I wanted pyros. I just am getting back into keeping snakes after a long break. I was going to focus on Pits specifically Pines. But I sometimes just can't help myself when I see a beautiful snake. LOL
 
I second that, thanks much John. Very professional, accomadating and top notch animals. You will be hearing from me again but not until my bank account recovers some. LOL
 
Buyer beware John is ruthless. Just kidding he is a great guy and I will gladly continue doing business with him. He contacted me yesterday with notification that he had a lone female BT Cribo to go with the male I recently purchased from him. He gave me an excellent price including shipping as a repeat customer. My new female ships Monday for Tuesday. He even through in a lone male Lined Pine that has some cosmetic issues but is otherwise feeding well and otherwise healthy.

Great guy, top notch animals, real quality customer service and a total professional. You can't go wrong with Black Pearl Reptiles.

I met John at Anaheim this year through his partner and my good friend, Chris Rodriguez. I look forward to getting some neat stuff from both of them down the road as well- whenever my gilas decide to reproduce!
