    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 Snakes at Sunset recently?

Good!

Good for you, Bob!

And it is beyond me how some of you can justify buying from someone who has done so much harm to our beloved hobby...

When was the last time you were in the store? The new owners bought it back in April and changed the place upside down. There is no longer a smell (we get complimented of this all the time), cages are clean as can be at any given time(they are cleaned in the morning everyday so if they had something in them, it is from the daily activities of the animal), and we ask EVERYONE if they need help. Please tell me it wasnt today the 19th you were there, as the manager of the store, I would like to know if the employees currently working did not help you so I can rectify the situation. Please tell me the people that were there actually working, and the "friends" that were there as I personally did not work today and there was only two employees a kid with glasses and a girl.
To make it up to you in this situation that you feel you werent helped you can have the spider for 325.00 and the pastel for 125.00 although I believe it now has a deposit, if so, when I get more I can give you that price. Also ALL the animals on kingsnake are in the store at all times. They are locked in a secondary section of the back with an alarm system and cameras. They are not on display as, proof be positive, the employees can be distracted and the animals stolen from the front, as it has happened. I apologize if you didn't enjoy your visit and with your help I would like to find out who was there, etc. That way I can rectify the problem. We always try to give the best customer service and it seems it was slacking today. Good help is hard to come by.
Also for everyones information, I do not own the store, I only pull a paycheck to help run it.
 
Also there might be a confusion as to the stores. The store that posts on kingsnake is Snakes at Sunset, not Snakes (South Dixie), nor Snakes (Miami Lakes). They are no longer related, but we do send customers to each other if we are out of a particular item. Did you possibly go to another store and ask to see animals posted on kingsnake thinking they were the same stores? That might have been a possibility?? Happens all the time but they usually call us and send the customer to our store.

Although i didn't buy a reptile from them...
I purchased a new hedgehog from Snakes at sunset on thursday.
only to find out she has an infection.

i didn't check their policies about sick.injured animals but this isnt fair.. to her or to me. :(

I think I'm going to look elsewhere for a Sulcata tortoise...
it might die on me the first night!

Ms. Gray,
Did they have a USDA license to sell Hedgehogs?
It is a federal requirement that shops selling hedgehogs have a USDA license to do so.
 
well I have to say that I did go back to the shop and did get some great customer service. I also dealt with a few other reptile dealers while in Miami and they did sa to give them one more shot since Mike was trying his best and I might have just gone there on a bad day.
 
I found Mike to be a good guy. He gave me a good deal on some animals for our collection and sent some really beautiful specimens. I couldn't ask for more.
 
I recently purchased a imported F. Guyana from Mike (07/02/08) from a KS ad. for shipping on 07/07/08. Mike called me on Sun. to advise he'd re-probed the animal and it turned out to be a M instead of a female. He offered to e-mail me pics of a couple of F Guyanas to see if I'd want one of them and I hesitated as I really liked the one purchased. He then advised that since it was their screw-up he'd ship the F free of charge which he did. Both arrived 07/08/08 in great shape and are doing great. Could ask for no fairer treatment & honesty by a dealer and wo'nt hesitate to buy from them again.

I have gotten many animals from Mike and have been insanely happy with his animals. I will continue to get animals from Mike. His customer service is awesome and will do anything to get you what you may be looking for.

Of course this is all IMHO.
 
I had a situation with Mike about 4 years ago that went sour (likely more due to outstanding circumstances than malicious intent). But after I tracked him down, I must say that he was very gracious in dealing with the matter, even after all these years. He made good for his end of the deal, and I am happy to say that I will probably do business with him again in the future.

Thanks, Mike.
 
I've made two different purchases of wild-caught panther chameleons from Mike and been very satisfied with both experiences. If he has something else I want in the future I won't think twice about ordering. :thumbsup:
 
Recent Deal

I just purchased a 100% het Ghost and 100% het Pied. Mike was great to deal with. Shipped on time and kept me in the loop. I will return when I prove them out to let you know about the genetics. So far so good.
 
Snakes at sunset

Hey guys not to be annoying or watever but prob;y 3 months ago Mike sent me 2 roughscaled sand boas, both of which should have been 1.1 and he said yes theyre 1.1 they ended up being 2.0 which consumes of 2 males, i called and asked if he could do anything about switching one male out, he said hed look around and give me a great price for a female, which he never held his word too, i wont ever buy from snakes at sunset......if they cant sex a snake how can they even send or do the right thing i think!!!!

I still have not found females of any size at any recent shows for you. Dont forget I offered to ship her free of charge and free shipping and you get to keep the extra male. Honestly have not seen any at shows we have vended at recently nor been offered any. Once we do, well contact you to ship her out if you still want a female. If not contact us and we can work something else out.
