    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....

I recently purchased a BCI Redtail Boa from Carlos. Although the ad was posted on one of the reptile Facebook groups I'm on, and I was a little hesitant to purchase from Facebook, after texting with Carlos I felt he was a standup guy so I proceeded with the purchase. Very glad I did.

Although the weather did not cooperate for a quick ship, Carlos stayed in contact with me at least weekly he was quick to respond to any questions I had as well as providing updated pics whenever asked and a few times on his own

I received the snake about ten days ago she arrived very early in the morning, was packed well and very alert once out of the bag she took a weaned rat three days after arrival with gusto!!

Of course, the pics of her did not do her justice as she is quite the looker!

All in all it was a very good transaction and I would not hesitate to do business with Carlos again should he have something I'm looking for.

I completed a trade with Carlos Aquino(Addicted to Reptiles on Facebook) last week and it was the smoothest transaction to date. I got an awesome & healthy Anaconda Western Hognose from him. I came across one of his ads posted in a facebook group. Got in touch with him via facebook chat and offered him one of my ball pythons to trade. I have heard great things about him in the past so i knew i was dealing with an honest & trustworthy person. We agreed to an even trade and i shipped out my ball python first on 8/13/2013. Carlos then shipped the Anaconda Hognose on the following day, 8/14/2013.

Carlos has some quality snakes and i would not hesitate to do business with him in the future.

 
Addicted to Reptiles -- Awesome!

I had purchased a female pastel ball python on Wednesday of this week. He was very helpful with all and any questions that I had... and I had a lot! On Wednesday we were to meet at 9 a.m. (his time) and it didn't dawn on me while meeting of the time difference... so I showed up at 8 a.m. (his time). Didn't phase him at all! I know some people would of made me wait a hour but he was there as soon as he could be. As he showed up he was very kind and informative. I will be doing business with him in the future! I attached a photo of the girl I picked up. :)

I just completed a female pied ball python purchase from Carlos and the value, quality, and care on his part were exemplary.

I just traded 2 of my babies with Carlos for a male clown. I must say it was hard to part with my firefly girl but when I saw this clown it made it a whole lot better. I've only done a few trades where I shipped first but Carlos made me feel comfortable enough to ship first and I'm glad it went as smooth as it did. Everything was as promised and nothing short of that. Amazing communication throughout the whole process. To sum it all up, I'm very pleased and will be doing more bussiness with him in the near future. Thank you again Carlos! Sorry for no pictures... I'm on my phone and can't figure it out.
 
I'm new to bearded dragons(actually all reptiles but sulcuta turtles:/) and Carlos answered questions ons thoroughly and seemed genuinely interested in my getting a healthy dragon.He did not try to sell me anything either.He truly seems like a sincere person who is an asset to the hobby.
 
Just had the pleasure of dealing with carlos. We did a trade, and I couldn't have asked for a smoother transaction as well as a beautiful animal. Thanks again and look forward to future transactions.
 
i recently got a 2012 albino male from Carlos. he was very nice, answered all my questions, and even took the time out to meet me on short notice. it was a pleasure doing business with him and i definitely will be doing more business with him in the future.

I just recently purchased a Pastel 100% het pied and her brother normal 100% het pied. It was too cold to ship and I couldn't pick them up immediately. Carlos was good at answering all my questions I had and he even sent me pictures when I asked. And when I made the trip to go pick them up he had us meet at a place that was easy to find so I didn't get lost. I picked them up yesterday and I couldn't be happier. They are a nice weight and healthy, and extremely beautiful. He also provided paperwork on genetics. I would definitely buy from him again.
 
I purchased a Lesser x Pastel from Carlos. I paid for her a little more than a week ago. Carlos was more than willing to hold on to her until the weather cleared up.

She showed up this morning as promised well packed. I immediately checked her for mites and did a quick stomach check and this girl is as healthy as they come. To say the least Carlos sells top notch animals.

I will definitely do business with Carlos @ A2Reptiles again.

P.S. - Also I judge the overall well being of snakes shipped to me by how soon they recover from shipping and take food. This girl shook off the trip and took a rat after acclimating for 6 hours. Impressive.
 
Back in November, I fell in love with a gorgeous female fire ball python Carlos had posted in a FB group and bought her. Well, we all know how wonky this winter's weather has been, so he's been holding on to her for me until now. He checked in, sent me updated pics and weights, and kept me in the loop even with the long climate-based delay. She gained *quite* a lot of weight in the inbetween months, too, she clearly got excellent care over that time. I finally was able to get her shipped to me today, and she's even nicer than her photos made her look. Thanks so much, I'm incredibly pleased with her!
