    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'm considering buying some animals from him and would like to know if anyone has had any experiences in doing business with him before I buy. I've done a bit of searching myself and have come up empty handed, save for one positive boi post. I've read several boi posts on other breeders, and I don't want to end up with a very expensive pet rock. Thank you very much for your time.

Good Morning,
I bought some racks from Alec and have known him for a few years now. He was fair and honest with me. I am local and see him at events from time to time still too. He has a nice collection with quality animals. I have not bought a bp from Alec yet but would not hesitate to buy from him. I hope this helps.

Hey, thought I would add an update. I decided to go for it. It was still too cold to ship so I didn't get my ball python right away, but he shipped as soon as temperatures would allow. My new snake was well packed (including proper labels, and an ID), was properly sexed, and appears healthy. He hasn't eaten for me yet, but he did go into blue a couple days after I received him. I'll let you guys know when he starts eating for me. On the customer service aspect, he was good at getting back to me promptly, and pleasant to talk to.
 
Another update, he had a flawless shed and ate for me today. I'm happy with the snake I bought and would definitely do business with him again.
