Lol, I got an email that there were more posts in this thread. I guess I am subscribed.

It's adorable to see that a few kids most likely read a book and are all charged up.

Troy is an alright guy. The snakes are doing fine Troy.

I don't think he ever says he actually produces the animals. He states they are captive bred and healthy. You get exactly that.

I guess I'll chime in FWIW.

I've bought 4 chondros from Troy. They were actually my first 4 chondros. The two I still have are champs and one is currently breeding a male I have on loan. I would also like to add that Troy did me a favor a long tie ago by posting and selling a portion of my collection for me on his site.

I can honestly say that Troy is a stand-up guy and deserves credit where credit is due. There's no law against being a broker. In fact, Troy Frantz and Gary Schiavino are the only brokers I trust.

Here are the fact:

-I recieved what I paid for in great health, clean fecals (I volunteered at vet office).

-The animals that I kept are still thriving.

-I recieved full after-sales support.

-Troy was very flexible, helped me sell a few animals, and continued no-herp related communication.

-I have also spoken with breeders who have personally sold to Troy so he does buy USCB. not eveyrthing is but some are.

-Troy has also admitted point blank when asked that he has bought from BW so that is a mute arguement.

The proof is in the pooding. When you treat someone with a little respect, you usually can get whatever questions you have, answered. It's simple business courtesy which many seem to know nothing about. I get so sick of the self-proclaimed "experts" that take the first opportunity to slander a person's name without concrete evidence...meaning you haven't even bought from him and are otherwise speaking from your rear.

And for any of you NOT familiar with the chondro market, I can only count the GTP breeders on one hand that actually produce locality type pairings and they're spuratic at best. So if you want a locality type, you're going to have to wait and hope you find a USCB locality type, buy from BM (who offers no gaurantee on what you buy), or buy from a guy like Troy who has connections with the guys that stay out of the lime light and establishes everything he sells.

The choice is up to you....but think before you post if you have no evidence because it only makes you look ignorant.

Id go with Gary Schiavino, because If you wanted to know where your snake came from than atleast he would tell you....Rich.

I am in the process of buying a het for pied male from him and so far he has answered all my questions and is willing to accommodate me on delivery. As for buying from other and reselling them I believe we all do that to some degree maybe not in large amounts but we all do. im in the process of selling a brazilian rainbow boa right now that i bought last october. the only time he hasnt answered a question is when he was replying to one of my other many questions so far i would hit him up for others if i get the money. im confident that i will receive a healthy young male based on these comments.

I've bought 2 Chondros from Troy a few months ago and all I can say was the transaction went perfect, the animals are doing great. I have nothing bad to say about Troy or "where ever he got his animals from". Who cares if he "flips". Just because he's the broker for another company does not mean that the animals are junk. Troy in my book for what he sells is an upstanding person and I WOULD BUY FROM HIM AGAIN.

i just purchased a female pastel lesser from troy gave me a great deal snake is very healthy
and was shipped immediatly and well packed fantastic job troy will definetly buy again

I just have to say, when I purchased my GTP from Troy, the transaction couldn't have gone any more smoothly. The animal was super healthy, ate with NO fuss (as promised), was absolutely gorgeous, and not misrepresented in any way. I would buy from Troy again without giving it a second thought.
