Inquiry: Ron Billingsley

Seems like a good guy,
talks about knowing a few names that come into my head. Said he used to run tables at Hamburg, and was pretty close to Walt Loose.

He is from Indiana. Email is TheBigSquese@aol.com

Said he used to have a shop called "creatures of the night"

If any other info is needed I can probably get it.

Just wondered if anyone has worked with him on anything.

I am considering buying a trio of dumerils boas from him.

Thanks
Chris

Hi I was just wondering if anyone has done bussiness with him scince this post I have contacted him about some animals he has and am waiting on a reply. Thanks in advance

I actually did complete a deal with him. I was very impressed.

I bought a 10lot of BPs, for $10 a peice....this normally means they will die or just not eat.

They looked great and all of them ate on the first time. So now I actually believe him when he said 48 out of 50 ate for him.

I also bought an adult male dumerils boa. I was just recently male heavy with 3.2 I kept his male and sold the other 2. Hes a great eater, and nicely colored.


Everything was packed nice, and just as good, if not better than he described.

I would defintely work with Ron Billingsly again in the future.


good luck

Chris

Thanks for the fast reply I am trying to work the deal out now and actully look foward to dealing with him now you have put my mind at ease THANKS!!!

good luck, you should have no problems at all.

The only drawback is he doesnt guarentee live arrival with ground carriers like airborne, fed ex, etc.

Im uncomfortable with that with some people because, they can send you dead stuff and say "it was alive."

However, I got over that and recieved everything alive, and have no reason whatsoever to believe hed falsely act on anyone else.

he is very knowledgable and has always been honest with me.

I just received some of Ron's acrylic display cases. Ron was quick to respond to questions and provide me with a tracking #. The displays are very nice and I look forward to ordering a few more soon.

Just got some displays from Ron at the Dallas Metroplex Reptile Show..They are awesome.. Thanks Ron..Your displays really showed off our snakes..

A couple of months ago I purchased a 1.1 pair of 100% het for Albino Honduran Milksnakes from Ron at the Indianapolis Expo. He popped them at the show as a sexed pair, but when I got them home both of them probed out as males (at least 8 subcaudal scales on both snakes). I promptly e-mail Ron and informed him of the mistake. He told me to bring the snakes back to the next Indy show and he would give me a full refund. I did just that and he held up his end of the bargain and refunded my money. I'd buy from him again, I'd just be sure to bring my probes next time.

Hello and to all or some who wonder about Ron Billingsley...he's a great guy he knows his snakes very well. He did run his own store it was called creatures of the night and had quite the selection of snakes back then. I know him personally from Indy show as I'm a native hoosier and frequent the Indy show quite often...Ron's not a BSer he'll tell you what you want to know and is a real honest and fair guy to do business with each time I've talked to him at a show his animals are always clean and healthy...
Keep up the good work Ron...to bad there's not more honest and very little BSers in the world of reptiles like yourself...
