    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....

Shadera is great to work with. I received my new snakes today and they are better than their pictures. I would definitely do business with her again. And I would recommend anyone else to look her up for a good animal at a workable payment.
 
Thank you for the kind words, Logan. I try to find a workable payment plan for people because I know what it's like to not be able to have $1000 extra for snakes. I'm glad you like your new babies, please keep me posted on how they do.
 
I've never done business with Shandera, however I would not hesitate to do so...not for a split second. She really is a class act! She recently donated some animals to help out a fellow FC member. That in itself goes to show her true character!

Buy with confidence from Shadera Lorrain.
 
I have bever had the pleasure eather of purchasing from shadera (yet), But I would never hesitate to do so. She is a good gal for sure
 
All I can say is "WOW!!!" I've just completed a trade with Shadera and she was nothing less than awesome. The snake that I received was 10 TIMES more gorgeous in person, and he was nothing less than amazing in the pics. She included all paperwork from the breeder, along with a professional packing job. I've dealt with some really great breeders/sellers, but Shadera offered the best communication that I've experienced yet!

WOW!!! Thanks Shadera! :thumbsup:

If you see anything you like being offered by Shader Lorrain/Magickal Morphs, go for it and enjoy what you get. I can promise you will NOT be disappointed!!!
 
Shadera is definitely awesome to work with! I did a trade with her last year and it could not have gone smoother :D

It's okay Matt, can you believe I'm used to it? :rofl: As long as it starts with an "S", I know who you're talking about.

I appreciate the kind words. I've said it before but I'll say it again. It always helps to have stellar customers to work with. :thumbsup:
 
Always another side to the story....

Despite a few positive reviews, some by people who have not done a business transaction with her:

I would definately NOT recommend Shadera/ Magical Morphs. On an ad posted for what appeared to be an expensive normal ball python that asked for "make offers" on the price, I made an offer. Since there was no known genetics involved I thought the offer was pretty serious and I would have paid it....until I was met rudely with a reply from her stating how insulting and ignorant I must be, and how "anyone who knew what they were looking at would immediately recognize the value of that animal".... throwing insults out right off the bat is agood way to burn a customer permanately- she will never get any of my money.

Just to be careful and educated (despite my snake keeping over the past 25+ years) about ball morphs, I sent the photo of said animal to two other more reputable dealers telling them what the asking price was but not who was selling it, and was told they "didn't see it", but then "anyone can price thier animals however they want to."

Rude = not for me.
 
Sorry you feel that way Matt, but I have zero tolerance for people who waste my time.

Odd, the same animal you offered $100 on sold later that day for the $600 I was asking.

Yes, there will ALWAYS be another side of the story.. Along with people who can't afford what you've got trying to bring you down. :shrug01:
 
MattK,
If you go back and look at that ad, most of the comments you've referred to were not made by Shadera...unless, of course, you're saying she sent you a PM. If that is the case, please post it.

First of all, if you go back to the ad, it was another member that made the "rude" post to you, calling you out for making your "rude" offer. All Shadera said was that she'd take a sharp stick to the eye before accepting your offer.

Second, you say you have been keeping snakes for the past 25+ years...yet you don't know what CH means?? :shrug01:

YOU were the one being rude by ever offering a low-ball offer IN THE POST! In a PM it still would have been insulting, but I never understand why people want to "haggle" in front of the world.

Because you got your little feelings hurt is NO reason to blast someone on the BOI. Had you done a transaction with Shadera, you would be extremely happy with the outcome. If you couldn't afford to take a chance on the snake's possible genetics, all you had to do was move on and find a snake you could afford! You say, "Rude=not for me", but your own actions say that YOU ARE the RUDE ONE!
 
I would only post that all of you are a little too sensitive about topics that really aren't that important....

....a couple of you are even posting incorrect info in a review thread. This thread is for reviews of dealers, and dealers posting feedback to thier reviews. I have not saved any PMs from Shadera to repost, not that it matters, and that was my review of my experience with the seller, which may mean nothing to alot of people.

I correct my review here: Her ad was not looking for offers, but it is often acceptable to make an offer publicly or private, and I did.

On topic: Big deal. Who cares if my offer was 95% or 5% of her asking price? It does not make any difference in the value of the animal or what it will sell for (as Shadera pointed out- it sold for what she wanted for it). From what I can tell no one is an officially deemed appraiser of ball pythons and thier value- its up to the seller who can offer the animal at any price they wish, and can accept or ignore offers as they wish. Being "offended at" or having to chime in on this thread is a shear waste of time for anyone not directly involved. Ultimately neither seller nor consumer did anything wrong- it's all the others that muddy things up in most of these classified threads.
 
So you're whining about being told to pound sand because you low balled to 1/3 of the asking price (in pubic no less) a month ago? If you want to avoid the embarrassment of getting your low ball offers thrown back in your face in public, make the offers in private.

You also don't dictate who posts what on the BOI. It's a public forum to discuss dealers. No member is restricted from commenting on a post.
 
You're harping at people who are posting, yet didn't have a transaction with me.

For what it's worth - You didn't have one, either.

Shame we can't see your post on that thread that you deleted/edited. You know, the one that got you a warning?

Move on...
 
Back on track,

I just got the feed cards I ordered from shadi, and I couldn't be happier! It was like christmas when I got the package :D thanks shadi! :thumbsup:
 
Shoot...I've got a bunch of snakes from Shadera. All top-notch. This girl does things right. What is this now, like 5 good-guy threads?
 
Well, since I just completed another successful transaction with Shadera, I will voice my satisfaction again. Whether she's the buyer/seller/trader, it doesn't matter. Her level of service is nothing less than awesome!

Thanks AGAIN!!
Matt Jackson
