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.

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....

We have known Brandon for some time now and we can say he is one of the good guys! Though we have not had any of his snakes shipped to us (being he lives so close by) his animals are high quality and healthy. We would recommend Brandon and his snakes...you won't be disappointed.

Brandon Osborne is a great guy to deal with. I completed a trade with him a couple of years back and it couldn't have gone any better, we both were very satisfied! We still talk occasionally, in fact I am in the market for a chondro Brandon, why don't you drop me an email...
Later buddy...

The name brings positive thoughts to mind.
I have forgotten whether I bought from him or he bought from me.........I have lost all records because of the computer crashing a couple days ago...
But to make a long story short......mention of his name somehow brings thoughts of me wanting to do business with him again...
to make it even shorter.... good guy in my dealings...I just forgot what they were.

Just completed a deal with Brandon. Definitely one of the best out there. Killer (and rare) combination of fantastic animals and great customer service. Highly recommended,

I also just completed a deal with Brandon. Beautiful animals, prompt communication, and careful packaging to insure the animal's safe arrival. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase from him again.

Brandon is a great guy!
I have known him for years.
I have bought snakes from him in the past and was more than satisfied.
I actually bought my first pair of corn snakes from him in 1994.
He had the patients to put up with a over eager kid with a million questions.
He has an awsome collection and some of the best green trees and south florida kings to be found.
He is a person that I prefer to buy from!

A+ ratings from me!
I received 1.2 brooksi kings from Brandon last week, but there was a small mix-up with one of the snakes. The one I got sent by mistake was too lovely to send back, so I agreed to pay the price of shipping to have the correct one sent to me while being able to keep the first one. It was a fair enough amendment, but Brandon went the extra mile of including a couple of bonuses with the shipment. Now, he did ask beforehand if I were all right with getting more snakes. I said yes, thinking maybe I'd just get some extra hets or something. I had no idea I would be getting 1.1 gorgeously colorful knock-your-socks-off Eastern x Brooksi kings. To make things even better, I had actually been on the lookout for one like these, and now I own a pair.
On top of being pretty, all of the snakes seem very alert and healthy. The ones I've fed so far show great feeding response.
You can bet I'm very happy with the transaction. It's always a pleasure to buy from someone who makes the extra effort to satisfy his customers.

Brandon is a good guy!
I have known him for a while from the forums and briefly met him in Daytona this year. I was always impressed by the great pictures of his snakes and the way they seem to glow, just extremely healthy looking animals. We talk on and off the forums and he is always happy to give his opinion or advice. I have not bought anything from him yet, but I am sure I will and would definitely give him any support to recommend him to others. He is honest, knowledgeable and a good guy to know. Tom Stevens

What a nice old thread to see brought back up. I also met Brandon "online" through forums and purchased a baby from him early last year. Then met him in person at the first Arboreal Symposium in St. Louis and it was a pleasure to chat snakes with him. I have since purchased two more gtps from him and they are both as nice as the first one I got. He is one of the nicest, most easygoing guys who really cares about his animals. It's nice to be able to post a thumbs up if you are considering a transaction with Brandon.

Thanks everyone for the support.
Thank you Olivia, for being so patient and understanding.....most people wouldn't have been. I made a mistake and sent Olivia the wrong snake. I asked if she could pay shipping and I would send her a replacement at no charge and she could keep the other snake as well, but decided I'd throw in a little extra to show my appreciation of her patience and understanding. I wish all deals were as smooth as this one. Olivia, I thank you again.
Cathy, you're like family now. Couldn't ask for a better place to send my chondro babies to. You have a "green thumb" for chondros and it's easy to notice how you truly care about all of your animals. See you again in Feb.
Thanks again to everyone.

I have a SCZ chondro from Brandon. His animals are choice, his customer service is excellent, and he's an all around great guy.

I ordered 2 female Hondurans from Brandon. After looking at the pics he had posted, I chose 2 particular snakes. When it came time to ship them, he realized that one of the females was actually a male. Rather than just substituting another female, he sent the male and 2 females at no additional charge. You don't often find people that go the extra mile like Brandon. This was my first dealings with Brandon, but won't be my last.
