    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....

Inquiry Troy Lees’s Reptiles

Great guy healthy snakes and willing to work with ya . I have purchased some albino blood stuff from him. Healthy and eating great. I would recommend him to anyone. Great after purchase support as well he has gone out his way to explain stuff and answer alot of questions for me
 
I appreciate it. I’m still looking for more on him before sending him thousands of $$.
Not finding much at the moment. Maybe because I’m not into social media like Facebook. To much bs on there over reptiles. And just to easy to scam and hide. I’ve started out on here and have a lot of trust in the long term members on here.
 
Hello Rich.
Please feel free to contact me directly if you are interested in any of my "little Gems"
Thanks.
Troy lee Tjepkes
Aka: Troy Lee's Reptiles
Well there you go. That is some helpful information there. Full name and long term member. Thanks for clarifying that Troy.

Ok,I’ll give you that 4 years is long term. Kinda. But there’s no other info. I’m looking for a bit more. He has no trader ratings or any sales I can see at this moment. He has 12 post. I’m not saying he is or isn’t a good guy. I dont know of him and I’ve been on here for a bit now.
I already had that info, Robert. I’m now looking for people who have bought boas from him. On here. Have you? I’d take a reference from you!


Rich
 
Any long term members have the animals you are looking for? Have you tried a "Wanted Ad", just curious?

No and no. And most of those people are not on here much, if any. I’ve already checked with several of them. I think people use fb and other social media sites. I’m a true fauna fan!🙂🙂. Only left for a few years to get healthy again. I’m back. 😁
I’m here looking for info on Troy because he has stuff I’m very interested in. It was pretty common to ask about sellers before buying from them.
 
I’m now looking for people who have bought boas from him. On here. Have you?
I have not unfortunately. Ball pythons were more my thing.
Until Troy posted, I had no idea "Troy Lee" was "Troy Tjepkes", it wasn't in your original inquiry - a helpful bit of information that was missing.
 
I can try. Hopefully other past buyers will see the posts and share their experiances.
My thanks to Matt Roetzel for shareing his experiances. I really appreciate it. We had the "your unknown" conversation awhile back too. So this thread will help a bit in the long run for others looking for more info. If it were not for Fauna's B.O.I. forum there would be really nothing to stop a plague of scammers that ARE out there!!! Also if you don't conduct biz in a mutually aceptable manner. It will catch up with you!
Sorry about the name confusion. It is the last name thing... Anyone care to try and pronounce it??? Lol.
Try...Chep-keys?? (I blame my dutch-german parents). Also I have been trading pm's with Rich and answering some of his questions. I totally understand being cautious when buying rare and expensive reptiles. His concerns are completly understandable.
 
Troy, can you help facilitate this information for Rich? Perhaps reach out to members you have sold to and personally ask them to comment here. It sounds like Rich is serious about a purchase.

Thank you Robert. I’m very serious. I hated getting rid of all my bias when I got ill. I was looking into the bloody albinos just before I had my second heart attack. Now I’m putting my efforts into this again.

PERFECT SELLER

Troy asked me as a repeat buyer to hop on and give him a review.

I purchased 2 animals from troy nearly 3 years ago, adding up to over $3000. I can say that to this date the animals have never had a single health issue. Shipping, receiving and communication was flawless during the purchase and he has been very kind to keep in contact about another animal I will be buying from him. I did my research and was skeptical at first but have nothing buy great experience with Troy! Buy his animals before they sell out! Top Notch!

Sincerely,
Blake

Well thank you Blake. I appreciate the chime in on this matter.
Rich.
 
I'm a little late to the party but I bought a blood boa from Troy several months ago. Quality animal and he was very quick to ship. I'd buy from him again.
 
Thank you for the reply. I’m buying a hytec het albino and blood male, with photo I’d and guaranteed genetics. Troy will not give these on his hets. Says he has a box full of fake papers. I personally bought many many hets from on here and all photo I’d was good. All hets proved out. He must have been dealing with crooked breeders.
Since he won’t guarantee his hets in writing, I had to buy elsewhere,as I will for a bloody albino female. Even though the bloody albino doesn’t need paperwork.

Thats for being a major jerk!
The fact is you never intended to buy anything anyways!
You just like to post for the attention.
I do in fact, "Fully garantee" my animals. And in writing. So what is your problem... You must just need the attention...

There may have been private conversations that led to the quoted response here that I'm not aware of, but this seems very pointed and accusatory. Sometimes the customer will choose a different seller, and this is a part of doing business. This post just feels like a tantrum.
