    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....

This is really ridiculous that so many are dying/dead. :( I hate being the exception...it makes me feel even worse than I already do for everyone who's lost snakes that came from him. :(

There is no reason for you to feel badly. I think we are all glad yours seems to be ok. Doc is the one who caused all the bad stuff here. Best of luck with the baby snake

I've always been a pretty sensetive person, and it really makes me mad when something like this happens. I've fostered for rescue groups and you wouldn't beleive the awful stuff I've seen. :(
 
My friend has begun handling my baby. He says it's good for him, now that he's gotten a few meals down, to start getting excersise climbing over his fingers to keep muscle tone good. He said he's impressed so far with how he looks considering all the bad stuff on these threads about the dying snakes.
 
Oh, and he'll get fed again tomorrow, since his last feeding was thanksgiving.
 
Latest update: My last male died, the female is still alive, but when I checked on her tonight I found a regurge in her tub (this was her 3rd feeding, 2 w/o troubles), trying to be hopeful but from what I've read, I don't wanna be to optimistic :(

I am so sorry to hear this. It all brings back a lot of bad memories and heartaches.
 
Sorry to hear about all the losses. It's sad this thread has turned into a mass obituary :(

What's even more sad, is the fate of all his future litters if he doesn't cut back production. His role in this thread leads me to believe he feels this problem is not going to affect him and he should maintain status quo. Even if he pulls a 180, I doubt many would be purchasing from him next year so cutting production is a MUST ...
 
OMG, I'm sorry about your loss. I hate giving good updates when everyone else is being forced to post bad ones.

I guess this thread shows why a breeder should never produce more than they can realistically feed and care for, or are WILLING to feed and care for.
I know I WON'T be buying again from him just because of all the deaths he had this year. It might be different if he has NO deaths next year.
 
That's true. It can't be a coincidence that so many are still dying. I know that no matter how good mine looks right now he's still not totally in the clear yet. :(
 
Well, I went over to see my baby today. He's getting a real attitude on him!! Struck at both of us when we tried to pick him up!
 
Glad to hear he has some pep! :) Good sign to me. Lets hope he keeps that up and that your baby may have been a holdback and actually got most of the feeds he was supposed to :) I keep gooding wishes going to him and you :)

I am so sorry to hear this Joe :( Sounds like the last little female I had gotten to eat. 2 times, then a regurge and death :( MY thoughts are with you.
 
forgot to update...He ate his last meal with no problems. Stood up on his tail and grabbed this one!
 
I wish he would quit selling snakes until he finds out what's actually wrong. :(
 
I checked his profile and noticed all his recent ads have been closed (including the one he added on 12/1) and in the thread it says to PM or email him if interested, so not sure if that's his way of trying to avoid ppl of warning potential buyers, or one of the Mod's doing. Either way I agree 100% that he needs to stop selling snakes till he gets his stuff together or just give up on the breeding thing.

As an update, my remaining hatchling took down 1/2 a pinky last night with quite a bit of enthusiasm
 
He has always closed his ads. I think it is like you said he doesn't want people responding negatively or warning.
 
I hope he does better than the others for you! Don't need to add any more to the death toll do we? :(
