    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....

First of all, I hope I spelled Ben's last name correctly.   Ben purchased two litters of snakes from me, and instead of payment, we decided on a trade.  The trade was for a pair of Pastel Ball Pythons, which we all know vary greatly as far as grade of animal.   Bottom line, I was happy just to get a PAIR, females can be hard to come by, and left it up to Ben to get me a pair that he thought was fair for what I sent him.  Because of Ben's great reputation, I never asked for pics, just left it up to him.   This is NOT the way I do internet business, usually asking for pics and asking many questions.  I was pleasantly surprised to see what I feel are Grade A Pastels.
Ben is a good guy, I definatly recommend him, and his wife did a great job shipping:)

Well David,
Bens reputation is well known as "Great Guy."

This is just another example of it.

But in case you havent seen him, let me show you the latest picture of him.

Cant wait to see him in Tinley Park in a few weeks.  I am deffinately taking my camera.
 
That picture bears a striking resemblance of Ben but I know he shaved his head before Daytona so his hair is much shorter now.

I can vouch that we do not want to see Tim in a two piece bikini!  (bad mental image)

yet another post of praise for Ben. I just opened a box containing two of the best looking red blood pythons I have ever seen. They are great looking and quite warm too, which was great since they were headed for Michigan. Great snakes, great packing, all around great experience...THANKS BEN!!!!
 
Thanks for the laughs

After reading all the good and bad (a lot more bad than good unfortunately) on the BOI, it was certainly a nice reprieval to see this thread.

Thanks for the laughs.

PS - I have to agree----Ben's definitely one of the "Good Guys"
 
Ben Siegel-Good Guy

I received a GTP from them last week. He arrived well packaged and warm to the touch. He looks even better in the flesh. Took a pink no prob for me on friday. Was very concerned about the weather during shipping and its nice to see a dealer willing to hold onto the animal to wait for the perfect weather. Thanks Ben.

Another good one

Ordered 4 snakes from Ben, sight unseen (based on his reputation). Requested delayed shipping as they were for a Christmas present. We received 4 beautiful animals on the date requested. He lived up to the great reputation. Wish all transactions could go this smooth...
 
Ben has a wonderful rep. I work with some guys who have purchased from him as well and had great exp. One of my friends has also been to his shop, and said everything was well kept, and he was a down to earth honest person. I hope to buy from him sometime when I decide to add on to my collection again.
