    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've purchased two Sumatran Blood Pythons from Ben on two different occasions in the past month or so and both transactions have been perfect. I couldn't have asked for better customer service, communication, quicker shipping or more beautiful snakes for the money.

Like I told him, I will be going back for more. Very, very highly recommended vendor.
 
Although I have never purchased anything from him, I have spoken to him on the horn and he was extremely helpful and answered all my questions.
 
I am also a satisfied Ben Siegel customer. Picked up an awesome pair of Albino Sonoran Gophers from him this past summer.
 
I've also had a similar experiences with Ben. I bought a pair of White-Lipped Pythons. We conversed via phone calls, as he requested in his ad. He was very nice, and when he was busy and said he would get back to me, he did. The transaction was smooth, and he sent my snakes in a reasonable amount of time. They showed up when they were supposed to, packaged correctly, healthy, exactly as described.

In addition, not only have I purchased snakes from him online, I have bought snakes from him face-to-face at the Daytona Reptile Show. Great guy, healthy animals, I wouldn't hesitate to do business with him again and again.
 
As promised, I picked up another blood python from Ben this past week. And as expected, everything went perfectly smooth. Fantastic customer service. Stellar may be a better word for it. Thanks again, Ben, I'll be back for more.
 
I live near Ben's retail store and it is by far the nicest reptile store I have ever been in. All the animals are healthy, the cages are clean and the staff is helpful. I have bought animals, feeders, and supplies and everything is top notch. Would never hesitate to buy anything from him.
 
I too am a satisfied customer of bens! I picked up a gorgeous fat cinny ball from him a couple xmas' ago, she arrived very happy, and adjusted quickly!
 
I just bought a White Lipped python from a pet store that just got her in from Ben. She is perfect. Most likely a northern phase but is real dark still with a darker belly so we'll see what happens. They told me it was from Ben and I didnt hesitate to buy her.
