James Gregory (backafter30)

Would like to post telling of my recent transaction with Mr. Gregory.

Responded to an ad on one of the other forums that he had posted a set of 2014 cornsnakes. One a butter motley the other an amel motley. After speaking with him, we set up a shipment date for several days later.

He agreed and asked me if I was positive of the Fed Ex location would hold the snakes for me to pick him up. I used them before so told him yes.

Quick transaction, and on the day of the shipment he sent me the tracking number. The box arrived at the location, on time.

Was sent using Reptile express and he followed their guidelines on proper packaging, inside the box nestled in paper was two containers. Appropriately marked and containing the snakes as shown on his ad.

They were both extremely active and curious upon being placed in their quarantine tanks. Have settled in and have both had an excellent feeding response with their first feed.

Overall very pleased with the communication, and the animals. Would recommend him. He is a new breeder so has no reputation at this point. But wanted to share my positive experience.

Oops forgot to add my name to the post.

On 11/23/15, I ordered a Whiteout Corn Snake from James. Prior to actually placing the order, we exchanged several emails. James was personable and answered all my questions fully.

In regards to shipping, we were a bit hesitant because of possible temperature issues, and the fact that SYR wouldn't do Live Arrival insurance due to the timeframe. However, we agreed to go through with it. The snake arrived perfectly on 11/24/15. Healthy and happy. He was packed nicely and met all the guidelines for shipping, including a heat pack. The actual snaked fully lived up to all the pictures that I had seen and is now one of my favorites in my collection. I've yet to come across a more mellow corn snake.

James is highly recommended and I would definitely do business with again in the future.

Early February I contacted Jim about a nice little female caramel stripe tessera het amel diffused. He let me pay in instalments since it was too cold to ship (I made a down payment that day, and paid in full the following Friday), and we kept in contact for the month until it warmed enough to ship, to take advantage of the live arrival guarantee.

She got here in time and packed perfectly, in a well marked deli dish inside an insulated box with heat packs, which were still warm when I picked her up.

He'd mentioned she had a bit of an attitude, and she is definitely a fiery little thing! She was alert and active from the moment I peeked into the box upon getting into my car at the FedEx hub, and was absolutely perfect once I got a better look at her at home when transferring her into her enclosure. She fed last night after pretending to be a tiny cobra.

Great transaction and a perfect little corn snake to add to my collection.

I bought a little creamsicle hatchling from Jim Gregory (backafter30) in September/October of 2016, through another form.

I'm new to the corn snake scene, and Jim was very helpful answering any questions I had. He helped me pick the right snake for me, and once everything was decided, the transaction was quick and easy.

The snake arrived in perfect health. Jim mentioned she was very calm for a hatchling, and that has proven to be the case.

Great experience buying from Jim!

21 May 2017 - I bought a yearling silver (axanthic) blonde Trans-Pecos rat snake from Jim. He was great to talk to and was extremely friendly and professional. Shipping was arranged without a fuss and the snake arrived safely and in perfect health. Not only that but Jim gave me good background information on the suboc, which I appreciated greatly. The snake is beautiful and I couldn't be happier.

Overall had a wonderful experience buying from Jim. I'd definitely recommend him.
