Advice - N.E.R.D.

[batgrrlx]

Recently my heart has decided it's ready for another Burmese python. I had my first who was my sidekick till the end, die of IBD (this was vet confirmed - he was sick since before he was given to me).
I want a male, for a few different reasons. They are on the smaller size and for some reason in my experience they are more docile.
I have been looking at N.E.R.D.'s stock and I see them strewn out everywhere in the python world and I am just curious if anyone has had any personal dealings with their animals or business.
I know it seems very unfair to ask but I want to make sure that the animal I get is not only healthy (IBD negative) but will come from a facility that does indeed give a lot of care to their animals. Hold them, take care of them, have at lease one vet visit, etc...

NERD is hands down the best! Kev & Kara are two of the most passionate people out there when it comes to caring for animals. Even spending a little time talking with either one of them you will quickly realize that they are "animal people" first, and "business people" second.

I've invested in high-end ball pythons morphs of NERDs in the past and can't wait to do so again in the future!

I recently aquired a normal phase BP and Mali Uro from them, both are doing great. While I was there I got a full tour of the facility and can vouch for the quality of the animals and the care they recieve. I would not hesitate to order from them again or recommend them.

Here are some pics that we took there:

You made the right decision. I have heard bad things about nearly every seller out there, even the best have had bad transactions.......but I've never heard anything bad about them.

Nerd Rules,period!!!!!!

I agree with the other posts 100%!! You cannot go wrong with NERD!All the animals I have aquired from Kevin in the last 5 years were above my expectations! You can completely trust NERD,you will not be disappointed!
My 2 cents!!

You just wanted an excuse to post pictures of those GORGEOUS snakes!

For a burmese python you can also check local rescues and herp societies...

Although I would definately recommend NERD

I have many animals bought from NERD. I could not be happier.
I too visited the facility this past August. Everything stopped why I got there with my son. We had the staff's full attention. Toured the facility. And I believe we were shown every animal in the place! The place was clean, the animals quarters were clean. The staff was clean too!
Even at shows, I cannot pass by their table without buying something!
I cannot wait to go back!! I did buy my Burms from them.
I am way happy! Next purchase from them.
Jampea Dwarf...unless they finally start to market those awesome cages they make in their workshop!
By from NERD...you wont be disappointed.

Kara is the best

Do not hesitate to do business with NERD. not only do they have high quality animals, but they truely have a love for them and it shows. I bought a sumatran short tail python from Kara and it is doing great.

Kara is awesome! NERD is top notch from what I have seen so far. I am in the middle of a transaction with them and I couldnt ask for more. Evidenced by the multiple back and forth emails between Kara and myself, she couldnt possibly have been any nicer or more helpful!! You guys rock!

He ARRIVED!..

..and in great wonderful condition! I have to say Justin was extremely helpful and informative and Kara - who ended up getting my paypal and sending him off - was wonderful as well.
He was well packed with still warm heat pack and arrived at 9:30 this morning. And even looked BETTER than the pictures that Justin sent!
I will post some soon, I promise. ;>

A+++ for NERD!
