    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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 purchased a Spider Ball Python from Alan. Alan had purchased the snake from Joe, the breeder and friend of Alan. Following the purchase of the snake, I was in contact with Joe, who was very quick to reply, answered all questions and handled communiciation beautifully. He called me while on his way to FedEx to let me know he was on his way. This morning, I got the package. The package was very secure and the snake was in perfect condition. Joe included a Certificate of Genetics Guarantee with photo ID, and all information you would need to know. Included on the container was his complete record card from hatch! He also included a care sheet with some info on Spiders. I could not be happier with the transaction and this little guy is just perfect. I have attached some pics of the packaging and the snake. Oh, and as an added bonus, Joe even included the egg!!! I thought that was pretty amazing and a wonderful keepsake!

Lori,
Alan and I have known each other for about 40 years, as we became friends in 7th-8th grade, and can vouch for him going back a bit. Glad it all went well.
 
Alan is a great guy! I purchased a hogg island boa from him years ago and a couple of his ball pythons and he is great person to deal with. I also had the honor of meeting him at a show in Columbia, SC about 6 years ago. Awesome animals and extremely knowledgable.
 
We have purchased several snakes from Alan and they have all been wonderful. Alan is a great person to deal with.
 
I don't know Joe, But did some business with Alan and everything went as planned. Alan is a good guy in my book without a doubt. And Joe sounds like an excellent person to work with - I think the egg thinks is cool :)

great guy!

I bought a red bar ambilobe panther chameleon from him a while back. The price is what caught my eye and when I got a beter look at the chameleon, I thought the deal was too good to be true. I was doubtful that all of it can be true, but after a few email exchanges, he shipped him out, and I couldn't be more impressed. He is still thriving and is one of my best breeders. Great price, very impressive animal, and a 100% smooth deal. Thats an A+ in my book. :)

I have purchased several snakes from Alan and could not hope to find a better guy to buy from! Right now I am awaiting a male Het albino from him and am sure it will be better than I expect.
 
Even when looking at snakes from other sources, Alan has been willing to answer questions and give honest feedback on our potential purchases to get our program started. Definitely a great guy and I look forward to spending more money with him in the future! :iagree:
