    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 just bought a motley het albino from him. I posted a add on here looking for a female motley het albino and he replied within a hour. He was the first response so I checked out his site and went on with the purchase. Even if he was the last one to reply to me I would of probably still went with him. His motleys are top shelf and ill be looking forward to watch her grow and I would suggest him to anyone.

Over a 6 to 8 year period, I've purchased around 10 snakes from Alex...everything from Pastels to Mojaves to Motleys. Alex is pure class!!! He is the VERY FIRST person I always recommend to others. He has went absolutely ABOVE and BEYOND in each and every transaction we've ever had...and his animals are second to non!

If there were more Alex Barreiro's, then the BOI would only need to exist for us to further praise the Alex Barreiro's :).

Alex...thank you, thank you, thank you...for everything that you've done for me!!! :thumbsup:
 
Thanks so much everyone!

I had a great transaction with Josh. There was great communication and excellent follow through.

Many people want or expect top quality from customer service from sellers but I must say, as a seller, I really appreciate good customers too. Josh was just that. Easy to talk with, easy to deal with, followed through with what he said he was going to do in a timely manner, contacted me immediately after he got the snake to confirm all went well....and most importantly, really loves his snakes.

Thanks again Josh, I wish you the best with your projects!

Alex and I worked out a trade deal on a pair of Angolan Pythons for a pair of hypo motley het albinos. The deal went great and Alex is a true pleasure to deal with. Professional in every way.
Thanks Alex,

Good things here

A little over a year ago I got a beautiful little albino, and everything went very nicely. Very healthy, just gorgeous snake. People have asked if she's a sunglow because her colors are so intense. Simply couldn't ask for anything better.
 
Wonderful transaction, breathtaking animals!

I just had a wonderful transaction with Alex Barreiro of Boa Republic and figured I could contribute my experience to the community. His communication is very clear and concise, reflecting a very professional and patient individual.
He responds to emails in a timely fashion and answers all questions in careful detail. Over the phone, all of these qualities still apply. There is absolutely no doubt that he is knowledgeable and experienced.

Receipts, additional photographs, tracking numbers, and all other documentation were provided almost immediately -- I was kept informed to the fullest extent throughout the entire transaction.

Upon receiving the package, I noticed how well-packed and secure everything was. The animals were warm and showed no signs of stress. All of the animals were curious, active, and well-started. Obviously the personalities of animals will differ, but it was evident that my trio had excellent temperaments and were already familiar with human contact.

Additionally, Alex's beautiful pictures perfectly represented the appearance of the animals. His prices are also more than reasonable, especially because I received a multiple-animal discount and saved in shipping.

I would not hesitate to do business with Alex again -- he certainly is an asset to the reptile community!
 
I just had another fantastic transaction with Alex Barreiro of Boa Republic. As before, Alex was great at communicating and exhibited great attention-to-detail throughout the transaction. He packaged the snake perfectly and despite a small delay from FedEx, it arrived alive and well, warm and spunky.

Thanks so much, Alex! I'm already looking forward to the next transaction!
