    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....

any dealings with Mickey Hinkle

Dale,

I have known Mickey for a couple of years now and have purchased animals from him. He is one that I would not hesitate to purchase anything from him nor would I hesitate to do anything I could to help him out. He is a great guy and you should have no worries. Also he has a really cute wife:) Hey Mickey Tell Brenda I say HI;)

Hey Mickey.... Next time you hold your snakes in your hand.... pull your hat down further.... we can almost see your face!!.... lol

Dale.... don't let them kid you, the ONLY reason people deal with Mickey is because of Brenda!!.... I've even heard he's got a glass jaw.... lol.... (but nice tats)

Dale, you'll have no problems what-so-ever.... he might even drive them right to your door, just to get out of the State he's in....

Mickey is honest to a fault, try not to rip him off by too much!

Just a random question, Dale are you related to a Ric W. in Oviedo?
 
I have bought and sold Mickey reptiles in the past and he does some reptile shows that i do and he is a great guy.

Wow, that is so true!

It is great to have Mickey back. We've done lots of business with Mickey in the past and he is just an awesome person all around.

I have dealt with Mickey on several occasions and always I got what I was expecting from him. He has always took the time to answer any questions on bloodline ,housing ,etc.

Mickey,is one of the good guys out there I bought a couple of snakes from him and everything went as good as can be.Packing was awesome and they shipped when he said he would.And I have talked on the phone with Mickey a few times and he is cool.And if something comes up he isnt afraid to call you to tell you whats going on.I wouldnt hesitate to do buisness with Mickey!!!!!
 
I can't honestly say that I've ever conducted a transaction with Mickey. However, I have no qualms about vouching for his integrity. Mickey is a stand-up guy.
 
If you are dealing with Mickey...All I have to say is BUY BUY BUY and Buy some more.. Mickey is one of the best.......
 
I have know Mickey for about 3 years now, bought from him and seen him at several shows (and his wife)

The Reptile industry needs more people like Mickey, he is someone that I am always happy to see and smile when I see an email from........ he remains with you long after the sale.

Mickey would not only give you the shirt off his back, he would be upset and feel bad, if it did not fit properly
 
I have sold to Mickey, bought from Mickey and done trades with him over the past year and it has always gone great. He's as honest as they come and really cares about quality. I would never hesitate to deal with him - he's definitely one of the GOOD GUYS!
 
Fore anyone thinking of dealing with Mickey dont hesitate, Ive known and been freinds with him for a while got a ton of stuff from him. Ive got a huge amount of respect for him. I hope he doesnt get pissed at me for saying this but I feel its something that needs to be said as it speaks volumes about his charecter. Many of us that know Mickey, know he just recently got back into reptiles after a year or so break he took. One of the reason he took that break is he got screwed on a couple deals for huge amounts of money. I could have paid my house off for the amounts were talking. Someone decided to send him the worst of what they had is about what it came down to, a little more complicated then that but heres the short and sweet version. Instead of returning the favor to his costumers and selling sick and unhealthy animals to try and recop some of his loss he nursed the animals he could back to health and placed alot of them with people to do the same for free. When you get a huge shipment of healthy animals its not to much for two people to take care of them however when you get that same shipment of sick animals it is to much for two people to handle at one time. He did what he could for as many of the animals as him and his wife could handle, then placed the ones he couldnt handle for free with peple who could do the same and nurse them back to health.

I know alot of people who would have just taken those animals and stuck them in a freezer and been done with it. Also there seems to be a trend that many of us on the BOI have seen latly of people getting out of this buisness and screwing everyone they can on the way out the door. After those bad deals he knew he was going to be taking a break for a while and He did neither, he didnt kill anything that could be saved and didnt rip anyone off, he took his bruises, cut his losses and did what he needed to do to leave on a good foot. I always had alot of respect for Mickey but after the way he handled that I got 10x's as much.
 
Mickey is awesome to say the least (and Brenda too :) ). We have done A LOT of business together over the last 2-3 years and will continue to for many more. He is very honest and up front, knowledgable, freindly and an all around good guy.
 
I tried to buy a uroplates from him a few months ago...
It was as if UPS was TRYING to make him look bad.
He went through a lot of trouble to get the lizard(just one) shipped out to me in time.

Usually, when you hit a snag, you have to jump through hoops and HELP get it resolved. He took care of everything.

I've had good luck with online reptile ordering--the Kammers, RK, and the lizard King.

I think I can get whatever I need from these guys, so I won't go looking anymore--no use in taking chances....

I just need to find a feeder source that more dependable....ah hell, I'll just breed my own roaches.
