    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. 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. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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 recently purchased a pair of subadult ball pythons from Cheryl, and I was very impressed with the entire transaction. Cheryl was very communicative in our emails, and promptly shipped upon receipt of my payment. I received the pair yesterday morning and the shipment was packed very well, the box was also labeled with the proper contents (Contents: 2 Python regius). I was pleasantly surprised to see that she included photo ID cards with pictures of each animal, along with the date she acquired them, as well as their origin. She also included a detailed recored card with feeding/shedding dates for each snake since she had them, and they were in her collection for awhile. Now I have bought snakes from some very well known breeders, some of them high end animals, and I have never received such detailed records with my purchase. I was so impressed that I am now motivated to do something similar with all animals purchased from me. Oh, and did I mention that the animals are very healthy and extremely beautiful?

Great job Cheryl, I would do business with you again in a heartbeat!:)
 
Thanks Kelli! That was my first on-line sale/shipping and I was worried about getting it right! Y'all were so nice about keeping me updated so I didn't worry over much. Thanks!

The records are just the cards I keep for my own records. I like to keep track of things.
 
Cheryl is top notch all the way around. We've seen her collection a couple of times and it is well set up. Cheryl (and crew) are just wonderful people all the way around, a great addition to the herp community.
 
Cheryl is Greeeaaaatttt!

We have known Cheryl for some time now. We have even seen her collection a few times. She is a wonderful person as well as very knowledgable about snakes. She also builds some great looking racks;) We would recommend her to anyone who is looking for quality animals that are well taken care of. I know you were nervous about shipping that first time Cheryl but it all works out.

You've got it right!

We have seen Cheryl's collection several times as well and have to agree with everyone else. Her animals are very well cared for- clean, healthy, immaculate husbandry, and meticulous record keeping. Cheryl definately operates a very customer friendly business by going the extra mile by supplying a wealth of information to her customers and providing them with the best animals possible. To top it all off- she is an honest & wonderful person!
We hope to see more people like Cheryl join the herp industry & bring the standards and expectations of all herpers to a higher level.
Way to go Cheryl- keep up the good work!
