    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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 found this guy's ad on kingsnake.com and could find nothing about him as far as reviews go. So, I'll be the first.

Ben was selling a recent litter of boa constrictors for prices that seemed too good to be true. Sunglows for under $400, albinos for $300, etc. I was searching for sunglows and decided to give him a try. He was extremely responsive with emails. I did try to call him once, and got no answer, but he was on a trip at the time. Over the course of four weeks, I never had an email go unanswered. He was more than helpful, shipped when he said he would ship, and the snake arrived better looking than his photos could show. He sold me a snake at a rock-bottom price, that has the quality that I could have easily paid double for. I am extremely happy to have run across him, and if you happen to come across one of his ads and want to know if he's reputable; he is. He's one of the good guys and well worth doing business with. If I ever decide to get her a mate, he will be the first person I go to.

Fantastic experience.


My camera sucks, but hopefully you can see the quality of snake that she is.

Ben Lom is the MAN!!!

I recently purchased 7 baby redtail boas from Ben and let me tell you something, these snakes look awesome. I made a road trip from St. Louis, Missouri to Wisconsin to pick these up and to meet Ben in person. Let me tell you something, he has an incredible set-up for his snakes and is very knowledgable about them. He answers emails the same day and is very credible. I drove 8 hours each way and I was not disappointed. In fact, I am purchasing 6 more this Sunday and once again going to drive there to pick them up even though he is willing to ship. I have no concerns about his shipping methods I just like to see the parents and save any unnecessary stress on my snakes. I am also purchasing another 21 babies for some of my friends. I would recommend Ben Lom to anyone looking for a redtail boa. Keep an eye out on kingsnake for Ben's name if you are looking and I hear rumor he might have another female getting ready to drop another litter. I have always wanted an albino and thanks to Ben I now have one and his prices are excellent. I am one very happy and satisfied customer. I give Ben an A++++++.

Thanks again to everyone for the responses.

I pride myself on great customer service, as I know its a lost art to many in this business....been there done that :(

Anyway...thanks everyone!
 
BOTH HONEST AND PROFESSIONAL

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A SUNGLOW AND A ALBINO FROM BEN UNFORTUNATELY THEY DIED B4 DELIVERY..... BUT BEN WORKED WITH ME AND WENT SO FAR AS TO REPLACE THE ANIMALS FROM THE NEXT LITTER. INSTEAD I GOT 3 SNAKES 2 NEO ALBINOS AND A SUB ADULT HYPO HET ALBINO MALE THAT I CAN USE IN THE NEXT YEAR TO KICK OFF MY SUNGLOW BREEDING PROJECT. ALL IN ALL I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THE WAY HE HANDLED THE SITUATION. I WOULD AND PROBABLY WILL DO BUSINESS WITH HIM AGAIN NEXT YEAR.

THANKS AGAIN BEN
