    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....

Well i just completed a transaction with Rob Starzman aka robstar and would conduct business with him again in the future without hesitation. Everything went extremely smooth. He shipped exactly when he said he would and kept me posted all the way untill i receive shipping info and was informed she was on the way. Top notch packing which to no suprise got her here alive, healthy, and looking far better in person than the pic listed as well as at the descibed weight listed. Great guy would recomend to anybody.

I also just completed a transaction with Rob. Everything went very smoothly, good communication, quick shipping, excellent packaging, and a good looking healthy snake.
Wouldn't hesitate to buy from him again.
 
Well just another thumbs up for Rob. Bought a great Russo (het White Diamond/BEL) from him and she was not only packed great but is hands-down the nicest example of a Russo I've seen. Thanks Rob!
 
I bought a female hidden gene woma off rob a few months back everything went extremly smooth, I wouldnt hesitate to do business with him again . Animal was well packed perfect shipping and she eats great.
 
Yet another thumbs up for Rob. He bought a pair of ball pythons I offered for sale, and literally within an hour or so of posting them the money was PayPal'd to me. He stayed in contact constantly and was flexible on shipping arrangements. I will be keeping an eye on what he has available and will not hesitate to buy from him.

I sold a female pastave to Rob a few months ago. Rob was a good customer that paid on time and kept me in the loop as to when he wanted the animal shipped out. Rob also made contact with me shortly after the animal arrived to inform me that everything went well. I will do business with Rob in the future for sure!:thumbsup:

Just got in a 0.1 Lemon Blast het Hypo from Rob, and she is great. Took her first meal day one. Great looking girl at a great price.
 
I purchased a small group of Ball Pythons from Rob that arrived yesterday. It was easily one of the best transactions I've ever had. The pictures really did no justice to his stock- they are awesome! The box was also packed perfectly and was at my door by 9:30AM. Great communication, very reasonable prices, and high quality animals- I would buy from him again and again.

Rob is a great guy, with great prices and even better animals. I recently bought a pair from him and they are doing great. I will be picking up a platty from him in the near future. If you are thinking about doing business with Rob, don't wait.
 
I just received 3 Mojave females from Rob on 03.06.12. Rob worked out a very fair price for me and shipped the next day. We exchanged only a few emails and everything was perfect. I am planning on starting my own thread for him once the girls get out of QT. From the way they look and one having ate the day they arrived, I don't forsee any issues coming. The snakes look BEAUTIFUL!

Overall, I received exactly what was advertised, got a great deal, felt confident the whole way through and I would buy from Rob again any day.

Thanks for the snakes and best wishes on the new baby Rob.
 
It is always tough deciding what should go on the BOI, and what should not. When a situation is a little sticky, it makes it that much more difficult to decide. This is one of those cases. However I think it speaks so well of him, so here is my feedback:

I am sad to say I purchased a champagne male from Rob who arrived DOA.
That being said, he was super fast to get me a refund and get things settled with little-to-no trouble. The DOA was due to 'shipping stress,' short of really getting into it, because that's not the point of this post. Rob lived up to his word as a good business man and got things resolved within an hour. I was amazed, impressed, and, though it was a sad situation, I would do business again with him.

I can safely suggest feeling secure about doing business with Rob. He lived up to his word, did not misrepresent his snake, and worked hard to be sure everything was all good before and after the shipment.

Thank you Rob.

Good guy

I recently did business with him as well, buying a Female pewter het ghost and everything went well. Good price, packed safely, and she looks great. Im happy to say shes thriving in my collection now and would not hesitate to do business with him again. Thanks.

I received an enchi girl today from Rob that was DOA as well. :eek:

Although I have yet to receive a refund I assume it will be on it's way shortly...
 
Thank you everyone for the kind words. Unfortunately, we had three mishaps in the same day, all of which should have been resolved as I type this. I tried to accomodate and ship everyone their animals but didn't realize our stock of heat packs had just run out. I entrusted a friend to pack up the remaining 3 shipments going out. He was to pick up some heat packs at the reptile supply wharehouse, seal up the packages and drop off at the fedex hub, and in return, get to leave work early. As it turns out, he decided to purchase some HOT HANDS at the local Lowes instead of making the half hour trip to Big Apple Herp. Needless to say, the outcome was the worst possible scenario. Multiple lessons were learned in that one day, but most importantly, never to use hot hands.
 
That sucks Rob. But I had no doubt Rob would take careof it, as he is a stand up guy. Have done business with him in the past and in the process of working a deal out now.
 
Just purchased 4 snakes from Rob. All look great and arrived safe and packaged well. Will do more business with him in the future. Thanks for the great snakes.
