Got my motleys from Bill yesterday. Could not be happier with them. He was awesome to deal with, and I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Responding to email notices you receive.
**************************************************
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.....

Addendum: 01/10/2026
=====================
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....

Agreed. Bill's a great guy.
Sidenote: Is your name really John Kielbasa? If you're not in porn, you TOTALLY missed your calling? How many times you heard that one before?
More times then I could count...LOL. Its actually pronounced Kielbaysa. However, when people see it before hearing it, they all say it Kielbasa. I own and drive a drag race car, so when Im being announced over a loud speaker it can get pretty comical.

Hello,
I agree, Bill is a great guy
. I purchased a 2007 snow RTB male from him back in 2007. What I like most about Bill is that he is there for you long after the sale. Many people out there will not give you the time of day after you have opened the box and the reptile is alive.
My snow male regurged 3-4 times over the first year I had him, totally not Bill's fault. I was feeding him mouse fuzzies every other week therefore it was not my fault either. I was stressed out because I paid a bunch of money for him and I never had a boa regurg like that. I thought he was going to die for sure. Sometimes things like this just happen to no fault of either party.
After over 40 emails and quite a few phone calls I realized one thing. It was not a big deal. Bill stands behind his product and told me many times: "do not worry, you are doing nothing wrong and if he dies, I will make it up to you". That statement right there put me at ease and made me realize that Bill is one of the good guys. I would never hesitate to buy from him again. He is one of the top 12 boa breeders in the US when you look and product and service together.
By the way, the male snow is eating and growing like crazy. Once he hit the one year old mark, I never had another problem with him. He is awesome and eats like a pig.
