Tim and his partner Kristina had great communication throughout the transaction, and even held her for me until a day...

    Good Guy Luke 'Reptile Nexus' Edwards

    I purchased a pair of Western Hognose from Luke via FB (Luke Reptile Nexus Edwards). It took them a while to get here because the weather wasn't cooperating.
