    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....

Anyone Dealt with Hudson Turner ?

I'm interested in some snakes he has up for sale on another site like this one, but have never heard of him. I did read on that other site that he is a snitch for USF&W. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks
 
Hudson Turner

I believe he may also go by the name of Earl Turner. He's in Texas.

I've exchanged a few emails with him. Seems responsive and upfront but I've haven't done a deal with him.

Earl Turner

I have known Earl for several years. I have done several deals with Earl and was very happy with the transaction. Earl takes very good care of his animals and has an impressive collection.
 
Earl Turner

Earl is a great guy, He is very, very knowledgeable and has one of the most impressive collections I've ever seen. He is legit, He does NOT deal in illegal animals. I'm not sure where this accusation has arisen but it smells like someone is trying to tarnish his rep. Furthermore, If YOU are legit, You should have no problem dealing with even the Director of US F&WL if he had animals for sale. If you have a chance to purchase some of his animals, Do so with confidence. Earl is truly one of the Good Guys.
 
Mixed Opinions

Thanks for the info. A lot of talk in this hobby; there seems to be a great deal of jealousy resulting in slamming peoples reps. I was told Turner's nickname is the "Trimorphodon", which is a Lyre snake ! Also, a close friend of mine inquired about Crotalus willardii silus the Turner offered for sale, which are Federally protected, but Turner did not have papers on them, so he backed out on buying them. Seems if Turner was legit, he'd of had papers on Appendix species ! I guess with bushmasters, there are no protection laws to concern myself with other than local ordinances. Thanks to all for your input.
