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....

Can anyone provide feedback about Neil Gubitz (Tampa Snake Pit)?

Hi, if you can provide information about your experience with this seller I'd appreciate it. Thanks
 
I have never dealt with him but I can tell you he has a number of negative threads on the BOI and was banned from this site.
You might try doing a search using the BOI search feature to find specifics.
 
I did a deal with Neil and shipped to him and when he received what I was selling he paid me as per our arrangement.. Don't always go by the petty bickering that goes on here.. The fact that he's been posting on this board for the number of years he has should say something..
 
Neil's one lie has to be in the BOI "Top 10" when he said a snake was stolen when his fathers Pet Shop was burglarized & then later admitted is was dead in his freezer. How do you redeem yourself from that one & think anyone will respect you let alone buy from you?
 
Neil

i bought a pair of rainbow boas from him 2 years ago and found he was easy to deal with would buy from him again
 
I dealt with Neil about 6 years ago, there are several threads on the BOI that have my experience posted in them. Basically Neal is a dishonest salesman IMO

Just because someone has posted on here for years does not lend credibility.
 
I worked out a partial trade deal with Neil and I am extremely pleased with the transaction. I got a yellow Amazon that is the cleanest color/pattern I have seen in awhile, very beautiful and healthy. The communication was great from beginning to end, and Neil even gave me some advice to help with a stubborn feeder in my collection. I would recommend Neil based on my experience.

Generally it does lend to credibility . If you disagree good for you. Your entitled to your opinion as am I.
 
If you really believe that the amount of posts or time a person takes to post on Fauna does not contribute to their credibility, go ahead and purchase some animals from Allen Belcher, Chris Johnson, Mike Shoemaker, Ray Torres, and Charles Schuck. Hopefully you get what you want.

No, I dont believe that posting on a forum makes you credible. It just means you have a functioning computer and internet access. But then again, you are the same person who tries to pass off posts from Neil's unhappy customers as "petty bickering". :shrug01:
 
I use to go to his shop all the time till i moved 6 years ago to va , i spoke with him several times he was helpful i had and i must of bought at least 6 snakes from him over the years .he seemed to me helpful, nice ,honest ,and the snakes i bought all were healthy and strong, no problems at all.
