    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....

Good Guy Alan Cole

I must agree Alan Cole is one of the best breeders out there. He does a lot of shipping with us and he is always very concerned about his animals and takes all measures possible to insure there safe and healthy arrival. Always a pleasure to do business with him and believe me I talk to a lot of breeders and customers and have NEVER heard a bad word about him always positive things. Keep it up Alan !
 
I Recently Purchased a Couple of Awsome Ball Pythons from Alan. I have got to say i really appreciated how involved he was throughout the Whole Process, always answered any question i had, gave me updates when i asked for them, and always retured my phone calls. We had a small shipping issue (something to do with fedex not delivering to where i live till 4pm or so) so Alan called me and made arrangments for me to pick the snakes up at the closest Fedex hub. The extra Effort he made to make sure the animals arrived in good health let me know the kind of guy he is. One who cares about his customers and animals alike!
Thanks Alan, look forward to more buisness in the future. -Michael Reynoso-
 
Michael,

The animal's health and customer service are my priority! I am very happy that you and the animals are! Thank you for contacting me upon arrival and later following up on how well they settled in. Hearing that they ate that night made my day. I look forward to hearing updates. :thumbsup:
 
alans follow up care and customer service are second to none. i cant wait to buy from him again. i could not ask for a better breeder and only hope to be up to his par some day.

I just received a Spider het albino female from Alan. He was great to deal with, even though I mistakenly called him at 8:30 AM eastern (5:30 AM his time !) Before I bought her, I checked him out here on the BOI and can say that the positive reports here are all accurate. Perfectly designed packaging for winter shipping too.

Alan is a GOOD GUY and do not worry about the time difference he CERTAINLY doesn't :)
 
All around good guy!

I recently purchased a male spector from Alan.I had several questions about spectors and he answered all of them very patiently! The temps didn't want to cooperate with shipping, and Alan had no qualms about holding him and feeding him until we caught a day warm enough to ship.My spector showed up last wednesday, nice and toasty in his box,healthy as can be.I highly recommend Alan,if anyone is looking for quality animals and service.
Thanks again,Alan,for your patience with me,and the weather! The little guy ate tonight and I'm looking forward to getting my superstripe project going strong!:thumbsup:

Rick,

Thank you and keep me posted! :thumbsup:
 
Just received my Fire Enchi male and Orange Ghost female from Alan this morning. Packaged professionally, arrived alert and active. Communication was excellent the whole way, a real pleasure to work with. Would not hesitate to do business with Mr. Cole again, and I would highly recommend him to anybody.

Don't be afraid to call him or chat , he is the caind of person that is there to help you with questions and your purchase. One other thing the bp feed the same night. Awesome.
