    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....

Has anyone had experience buying CH ball pythons from this guy?
 
I bought my CH yellowbelly male from Rolland last year, and I would definitely purchase from him again. The male came in healthy, no parasites, great plump condition, and was GORGEOUS -- IMO he tops many proven line YB's out there. Here are pics from when I first got him...the first two are from the KS ad itself:

As of today, he's grown into a big 780g male that eats voraciously on weaned rats and has a great temperment. He has gotten even more bright gold and has more blushing, and his flames are very pronounced. As soon as his new girlfriend is out of quarantine, I'll be finally breeding him. Rolland was great with communication, sent me lots of pics while I was deciding, and I have been in touch with him again recently looking to find a few more CH animals. He's definitely a Good Guy. :thumbsup:
 
Hey,
Where is this person located? There is an outback reptiles just outside D.C. that is run by Ian G. also. But it wouldn't be the first time in reptile history that multiple people from different areas of the country had same company names.

thanks

Good question, Ben. The ads on KS that I responded to said he was in Northern Virginia. Ian G.'s Outback Reptiles is here as well, so I figured they were in the same business. I doubt there are two Outback Reptiles in the same town.
 
ame here I have emailed him twice with no response must not be to good of a salesman, IMO if he wanted to sell one of the animals he has up he would respond and this has been days ago that I emailed him.

Hello. We buy a bunch of stuff from Roland. He is outside DC and he is affiliated with that Ian G and they are a very good business and Roland is a very honest man.
 
I just purchased a het albino female ball python from Outback Reptiles earlier this week (recieved her Friday, 7/11). Rolland was very helpful when I spoke with him, and wasted no time at all getting her shipped out. As far as email responses go, my email (which I sent out after their office hours at night) was answered the next morning when I checked my email. As far as the snake goes, she is in excellent condition and health, and has already eaten for me. I would not hesitate to deal with them in the future, and I would suggest them to others. In fact, I will be purchasing a male albino from them later this year to go with the female het I purchased.
 
I purchased some CH ball pythons from Rolland and was very pleased with the transaction. Rolland was very helpful and honest. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from him again.
 
A responsible shipper

and what you pay for you get ! I found him to above board in his business ethics when shipping and providing healthy livestock. I would not hesitate to order again. JERRY
 
poor salesman huh?

Try Kingsnake email gets lost in spam accounts quite a bit. Most people who can read will read my ads and realize that they do say phone calls take priority. Give it a shot. Reading is fundamental. Its a much easier and reliable form of communication. I guess all the people on here who say I am good must be wrong. I do thank everyone who says good things about me and as always, let me know what I can do for you. For those who don't know how to pick up a phone..... sorry about your luck. if you care to discuss it further or put in an order 703 365 2262

Nice attitude....<crosses this one off my list>
btw - phone calls might take priority for you, but that doesn't mean they are easier and more reliable for everybody
 
Poor salesman indeed. It only took Rolly Polly three months to reply to a post.

Good job Rolly, you just lost at least four potential customers. Sorry about your luck.
 
I bought 4 or 5 snakes off of Ian G, back when he did the Pittsburgh shows. I was always very happy. I can't say I care much for Rollands attitude. Maybe things have changed?
