    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....

Greg Riso = great guy

A couple weeks ago, I saw and ad on kingsnake for a 5 foot female hog island boa and I jumped on it. I had been looking for an adult hog for quite some time and was lucky enough to find one. At first, the pics weren't that eye pleasing. I asked Greg a million questions until I was satisfied and he answered every question that I had. I sent payment next day via fedex and received my hog upon payment. The packing was very professional, styro-lined box with a heat pack. When I opened the pillow case, I was shocked. I was expecting to see a rather dark hog but what I received was nothing more than perfect. She was nicer than the pictures he sent me.

She is feeding on fully thawed rats, healthy, tame, and very attractive.

My biggest concern was with his terms page. Nowadays, people forget to ask about terms. This is the great guarantee I got from him:

Michael,

I'll ship her to you Wednesday evening for Thursday morning delivery if I receive payment of $$$$ total. I guarantee this animal to be a female and her health as being perfect. I also guarantee live arrival and full health for one full week after arrival. There are a handful of people who stand behind their animals as strongly as I do. I do not have a terms page per se with fine print and weasel words for me to hide behind. I'm sure she will arrive in perfect shape or you'll be refunded. My only request is if there were a problem then you should take pics and notify me within 2 hours after arrival. I don't mean to alarm you as I don't anticipate anything going wrong. You may use this letter as proof of my terms.
It would be better if you could possibly get payment out today if possible. Tomorrow will be okay if you can't. Any other questions let me know.
My address to send payment to is:
Greg Riso Phone: 603 895-1279
4 Enterprise Way
Raymond, NH 03077

Thank you very much and please confirm after payment has been made via e-mail.

Greg


I really appreciated his guarantee. Not many people will give a one week warranty.

It has been a couple weeks now and Greg always wants updates regarding the hog. It really shows his concern for the animals, which I thought was a plus.

From beginning to end, this is probably one of the smoothest transactions that I have had. I got everything I wanted and more from Greg Riso.

He is a great guy in my book and if anyone out there wants to do business with him, don't hesitate or else you will miss out.

I've bought numerous snakes from Greg Riso. I just can't say enough good things about him ! Every animal I've purchased from Greg was EXACTLLY what he said the animal was! Beautiful,healthy,eating & NEVER a mite one!
You just can't go worng with Greg Riso. Greg answers all e mails, all phone calls..........this guy is going places in this business.
As I stated in another post," If Greg said he had a snake that talked and flew around the room...........I'd beleive him"
Greg Riso is definitly a breath of fresh air in this business. You EVER see an animal you want with Greg's name on it & it's something your looking for............Buy in confidence !

Greg purchased an Albino boa from me last year. He was very easy to communicate with and sent payment as he said he would.
Greg was a pleasure to do business with and I wouldn't hesitate to do business with him in the future.

Greg has purchased from me on a couple of occasions and is a very easy guy to do business with. He knows what he is talking about and has a great attitude. I would be happy to deal with him in the future. Evan Stahl
 
I just purchased a beautiful Roatan Boa from Greg.
The animal is very nice, and Greg was a real pleasure to work with.

I would strongly recommend him to anyone. Thank you Greg for a great animal.

I purchased an ETB from Greg about two years ago. The boa was everything he said it was. Professional service. Shipped properly. Would not hesitate to purchase again from him.
