    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 vouch for James W. Arnold?

I just finally got a pic developed (I don't have a digi) that turned out.  I just have a cheap camera and am not much of a photographer, but here's a pic for you anyway... she is adorable!!  She is pretty tame, nervous at times but she is really a sweetie!!

Updated pics of the 2002 het albino I received from James W Arnold

Here is a full body pic. She turned from a silver baby to a yellow yearling. She is my most yellow boa after my peruvian. She is extremely gorgeous in person! I am sooooooooooo happy with her and James.

Update

The female I bought last year is doing soo good I had to buy that yearling pair of males he had for sale last month. All I can say is Thanx James, I'm gonna go broke feeding these 2 little pigs!! These guys are sweet!
 
SO... James W. Arnold = Good Guy!

Just wanted to get 'back on track' here... first we're asking about this James W. Arnold, then we're comparing boas!

So as James specified, he, James W. Arnold is the guy from Alabama - different from the show promoter, James Arnold in Texas.

Furthermore I would like to clarify and hopefully put this to rest..
James W. Arnold is NOT a new kid on the block! He has been a known advertiser on a few of these clasifieds and has been selling beautiful, high quality Columbian Boa, Hets for Albinos, Double Het for Sunglows and possible hets of the animals mentioned for several years now - and as we have made clear form this post, we are ALL happy with our dealings with him - James W. Arnold!

Take care all.

no need to get snappy

James himself was who called him the new kid on the block to begin with in an email message with me. As you can see if you read the beginning of this thread, other people asked about him and obviously not many people knew him because we got no references or people who had dealt with him. I was the first one to deal w/him and post a reply on here, so for us, and a lot of other people who read the thread title, he was the new guy. Sorry if your knowledge is above ours.

I think we all can agree he is a great guy with great animals.

Nicole Gustafson
 
good guy indeed

get snappy?! Did I even direct any of that to one individual person?!?! lol
I didn't condem anyone for calling him the new kid on the block
I didn't tell anyone they can't call him the new kid on the block
What I did do was finally let eveyone know that he is a good guy - been here a while...
you let them know about a good experience, I added he has been here a while..
I was laughing when I wrote that!
I thought it was funny that, 1 - no one responded with positive feedback from past experiences (since his quality animals have frequently been seen on the classifieds) and 2 - that this thread went so far off topic... likes it's doing again now !! lol



;)

take care - Joe Rollo
 
a misunderstanding...

hey, sorry if i took it wrong. i thought you meant otherwise. my bad- my sincere apologies also.

peace,
Nicole
 
I think he's a great guy

I purchased 1.0 100% het for albino from James Arnold last year and he is absolutly gorgeous! Very tame and eats like a total pig.
This snake has NEVER refused a meal eats mice and rats with no hesitation. I have 6 columbians and this one is my husband's favorite. The transaction went very smoothly and I would buy from him again in a nanosecond.

James W Arnold...one of the best

Hi,
I did a trade with James last year for a poss. dh sunglow, and I must say that it was the most professionally packaged animal that I have ever recieved. And the animal was stunning, nicest f1 hypo I've seen in a while.
So don't hesitate with James......my 2 cents!!!

I have met and bought from James

He set's up at the Dixie Reptile From time to time i bought a bunch of baby carpet pythons from him last year for a awsome unbeatable price. He has very nice looking snake and they are well taken care of far as what i have seen at the Show and i have seen a few pics. on the net.

James W. Arnold - Good Guy

Howdy all! I just got in a new boa from Mr. Arnold! Shes the most beautiful thing on the face of the Earth (well, I'm her new mama so I get to say that!)... He even cut me an even better deal then on kingsnake, he replied promptly, and made sure everything went smoothly!

THANKS!!

About that het albino I recieved from James... she is beautiful, I will say that. But "she" turned out to be a "he" and I have tried to get ahold of James about this and he will not get back to me. I am very disappointed in this regard, as he seemed very sincere to me. I'm sure he did not send me a male on purpose, but he had a guarantee that if either the snake wasn't a het or if it was sexed incorrectly he would pay for the snake, shipping, and the cost of growing it up to adult size. Now I have grown "him" to over 6 feet thinking he was a girl ready to breed, and now am disappointed that he will not help me or even get back to me in this matter. Just thought I'd give the heads up.
