    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....

Alex Barreiro from Boa Republic is THE MAN!

I'd HIGHLY recommend this guy to anyone looking for Ball Pythons or Boa's.

Purchased a fat little 80g Piebald Ball Python from Alex and I couldn't be happier. Excellent quality, prices, customer service, etc. Animal is super healthy and looks great, I really could not be more satisfied with my purchase.

Funny how I found Alex, I just searched a few forums for good breeders and came across his site. Then found out he was 15 minutes away from me :eek:

Not sure If i can post pics, but here's my reciept transaction emails which I thought were great. ( I paid with my card ). My girlfriend actually met up with Alex since I got caught up with some work and couldn't make it. So knowing I trusted my girlfriend to meet up with him should show a lot :thumbsup:

Included the text because I felt like it was nice of him to ensure the transaction. :thumbsup:

Thanks you so much Gabe and thank you too April! I SUPER appreciate the positive feedback here on Fauna. I get nice feedback on emails and other means but as a breeder/seller, having posts here on fauna is so helpful, so thank you!

Thanks so much for your business Gabe I hope you're enjoying the Pied. You and your girlfriend also deserve credit for being a great customers to deal with. Communication was fast, easy and very pleasant.

Thanks again!!
 
I agree, Alex Barreiro is a great guy. I have a ball python that I acquired through a third party that he produced; beautiful fat and healthy. I then met him in person at the Sacto show and we chatted for a while. His snakes look great; they are all nice and healthy. He is a very nice guy and I would not hesitate to do business with him.
