    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....

Sean Bradley, Exotics by Nature...good guys!!

:D I just want to give praise where praise is due. I ordered 1.1 womas from Sean Bradley of EbN and he shipped them Tuesday by UPS next day air. They arrived Wednesday at 9:51am in very good condition and look fat and healthy! He answered all my questions and did what he said he was going to do....an all around stand-up guy!! After reading all of these horror stories about scam artists and bad shipping practices, I thought I'd shine some light on one of the good guys out there!!

I have to agree with you, I have had nothing but good dealings with Sean. All his stock is as promised, and I have been very happy with them.

I've bought numerous animals from him, and he allways goes out of his way to answer my emails, to send me pictures and to keep me updated on upcoming stock.
 
does he have a website which i can visit. thanks
 
web site

Yes, he does. I believe it's Exoticsbynature.com. If that doesn't work, go to Kingsnake.com, scroll down to the breeders and dealers and click on Exotic by Nature in the list of dealers.

I've done business with Sean myself and have nothing but good things to say. We spent over an hour on the phone just BSing about herps and I really enjoyed talking to him. The snakes I received were top notch as well and everything he said they were.
I didn't get a chance to speak with him at Daytona, but he had alot of exceptional animals on his table there too.

As a side note, Celia Chien, who works with him is great too, she was very helpful with some of the details of Sean's rack designs which I based my latest rack on. She's a great photographer too. Her work is at http://www.celiachien.com/

Sean is a standup guy who loves his reptiles. I recently lived not to far from his business and used to go to visit and he always took the time the show you his latest additions, projects, and just shop talk. Very good guy in my book and I belive one of the future "big guys" in the herp business.

Sean and Celia are both definitely top notch. Easy to deal with and they have a real fervor for the animals they deal with. Celias photography is second to none and Sean has an unbelievable collection of color mutations and ball morphs. We've made several sales to them over the years and all have gone smoothly and professionally.

EbN are some of the good guys out there! Buy with confidence.
 
I have been dealing with Sean and Celia for about two years now. Both are very knowledgable and sincere people. I have bought about fourteen ball pythons (some normals and some morphs) from Sean over the last two years. I have received nothing but exceptional animals that are very healthy from them. I have been to Sean's facility as well, and it shows his level of dedication to his collection, and what a diverse and fine collection it is. With all of that said, I will continue to buy from Sean and Celia and recommend them to all.

I just purchased a pair of het albino balls from Sean. It took a few weeks before he felt the balls were eating well enough to sell and I highly appreciate his dedication to ensuring his animals are healthy and problem free before selling them. Communication with him and Celia online was excellent throughout and all my questions were answered promptly. I highly reccomend exotics by nature and when I get around to buying a pair of het piebalds I will definately look him up.

We just did a trade with Sean & Celia. They were great to deal with. Excellent communication. Let alone their animals are amazing!! I would highly recommend them.
 
You cant go wrong with Sean and Celia,besides having outstanding animals they are also great people to deal with or talk to.
I would highly recommend them to anyone.

I have purchased a handful of high dollar snakes from Sean & Celia and each transaction has been outstanding. Great packaging, great communication, and quality animals. Do not hesitate to purchase.
 
Just had to add

Sorry to resurrect a dead post, but I wanted to mention my wonderful experience with Celia and Sean! I purchased a 1.0 het albino from them and he arrived in perfect condition! They were wonderful at returning emails/calls promptly, and even worked with me to coordinate their shipment with another one I was expecting. Thanks for the awesome transaction!

Sean and his team are some outstanding people. I just picked up a beautiful 0.1 pastel and an amazing 1.0 cinnamon pastel het for hypo from him. all this was done today at his local shop I would highly recommend him. He knows what he is doing. He answered all the questions I had and actually gave me answers to things I hadn't thought of yet. Bottom line he is a great guy and I will definitely be doing business with him in the future.

FYI his website is www.exoticsbynature.com
 
I recently went to the May mobile reptile expo to purchase a snake from him. I had planed to get a spider from him but was curious what else might be better. I did end up going through him. I bought a spider he didn't have on his site. He told me it sold right when it hatched and he took it back on trade with a repeat customer. He told me to call him Monday and he would send me all the info on the snake. I called him Monday and he said he would take care of it when he got to his shop. Nothing. Called Wednesday got no answer but left a message reminding him to send me the info. Nothing. Called Friday. Nothing. Called the following week on a Monday still no answer but left a kind of dirty message this time. Nothing.

I would not do business with him again and hope I see him in june or july at the Louisiana expo this year to give him a piece of mind. Maybe he did do good business before but now he is slacking.

On a good note my brother bought a snake from him in April. We went to his shop and he showed us all of his inventory. We asked him all kinds of questions and he answered them no prob. He even popped the snake there in front of us which I thought was very educational. Seemed like a good guy at the time.

I guess he took the money and ran thinking I was just a nobody and that I wasn't going to be a repeated customer. Lost some business because I got another snake mid May. I would of probally went through him again if he would of done what he said he was going to do.

So if you see him at a expo and decide to buy a snake that he said he would have to get back with you on specs. Good Luck hearing from him again! REALLY!
