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.

    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 wanted to post a "Good Guy" post on John Schmitt of SunCoast Herpetological.  Our recent transaction went very smoothly, and all the animals were well represented and well-priced.  John was professional in every phase of the transaction, and we would not hesitate in giving our recommendation to Suncoast Herpetological for purchasing quality animals and receiving great service.

Thanks, Stephen Emerick

Likewise, I just wanted to let everyone know that John is indeed a good guy. I just received a group of Pituophis from John. They were shipped in a very timely manner (same day), and great care was taken in packing them. All the animals that I have ever received from John, both this year and last, have been of the highest quality. John's customer service skills are also top-notch.
 
Hi,
I just wanted to add my praise as well. I did a couple transactions with Suncoast last year and all went great. But this year it was AWESOME! I made a rather large purchase, and only because John took the time to answer many questions and even send me pics of specific animals. In the end I got a great group of cornsnakes and couldn't be happier. I would highly suggest you check out his stuff, it is well worth it!
Thanks again John!!

I would also like to chime in with the ol 'good guy' for John!  I recently purchased a gray banded knigsnake from John.  The transaction was the smoothest internet deal I have ever made.  The snake is beautiful and a mouse eating machine!   I could not be happier with the purchase.  I am already considering getting another snake from him.
