    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....

Good Guy Cheryl Marchek (the red dragons den) wonderful lady!

I contacted Cheryl at the red dragons den about a month and a half ago about the poss. het pied and def. het albino females she had for sale.

First off, I forgot to mention the "poss" on the pieds and she pointed it out right away that they were %50 poss. hets, to make sure I knew exactly what I was paying for. There are so many people (as the BOI proves) that are only out to make a buck and would surely let some one think they were getting def. hets to make a sale... I'm glad Cheryl isn't one of those people.

The price for each of the bps was originaly $150 or $175 and I asked her about getting 4 of them. She marked the price down to $100 each since it was the end of the year and she had alot of female hets left over. I was very happy with that price and she was happy not to have to start advertising again to get them sold.

I asked her about a payment plan, and she said that she had been burned in the recent past and so usually asks for %50 as a down payment. I was only able to come up with %30 for a down payment, and payments every 2 weeks after that. She worked with me and kinda went out on a limb and I appreciate it very much.

I made the last payment a week and a half early because I got my state taxes back, and she had no problem moving the shipping date up to this coming Tuesday.

She kept in touch with me the whole time, always let me know when the payment arrived, answered all my many questions and has just been wonderful to do business with.

When she responded about my last payment she said that she still had alot of left over female hets and asked me if I had the room for an extra! She gave me a fifth snake for free, and let me have my choice of the poss. het pied or the def. het albino, any of the ones still for sale on her page! Who throws in a free BP (of your coice!) on an already great deal? I was/am very happy.

BTW, please don't think Cheryl is just giving away snakes! I would hate for any one to try to take advantage of her because of my post. I just happened to make the deal at the right time of year and was already getting 4 snakes.

I'm really very happy with the dealings I've had with Cheryl and on Wednesday when I have the snakes in hand I will post again to let you know I'm also happy with the condition of the girls themselves, as I'm positive will be the case.

Don't hesitate to do business with Cheryl! :thumbsup:

*I know how the BOI people pay attention to detail so incase anyone wondered why I said the snakes come in on Tuesday but I will post on Wednesday, I only have internet access at work and Mon, Tuesday are my days off. And yes, I spend all day at work on reptile forums and breeder's websites :D
 
I have purchased snakes and rats from Cheryl. I would not hesitate to buy from her. She is highly recommended.
Thanks
Trey
 
Thanks Danielle~ but you should really let me send you the girls and you see them before you start making me sound so great! I'm sure you'll be pleased with them~ but you've not even seen them yet! LOL! Thanks for the positive feedback~ I really appreciate it!

You too Trey~ been a long time since we visited~ hope all is going well for you!
 
Cheryl is great!!! I have a couple snakes from her also that are A+++! Can not wait untill Turkeybird is a momma
 
No need to wait. I know I'll be thrilled with the girls when they show up. I've read the other threads about ya, and I'm positive I'll be as happy as the other posters were.

I have so much to do tomorrow to get ready for them! I just got rid of the rats I had in the 1 of the tanks I bought for them... I was going to try to breed the rats but after the mice turned cannibal I said screw it.. So my friend has some new pet rats now. lol. But I have to go get some more substrate, thermoms, hides and whatnot tomorrow. Ugh I just did this last week when I cleaned out all the other tanks and got new hides for everybody! I knew I should have picked up extras but I thought I was going to have another 2 weeks. Me and my impulsive spending of my tax refund to get those girls early! :rolleyes:

Glad I don't work tomorrow.
 
The girls arrived yesterday at 10:30ish. They're beautiful, bigger and more well fed than I was expecting! I had to have the bf cut bigger holes in the lids of the water dishes. lol

They were packed well, they weren't cold when I took them out. They came with all their feed/shed records and photo ID. I couldn't be happier.

One of the het pied girls is a little trouble maker though. I have 2 of them in a bigger tank with a plexiglass divider in the middle... One of them managed to knock down the divider and climbed into the water dish with her sister. They overflowed all the water out of the dish and all over the tank. The dish was full to capacity with snake lol. I had to change all the substrate and it looks like we'll have to make a better divider. :ack2:

Thanks again Cheryl.
