    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....

Through the past boa breeding season Chris gave me a chance to do a breeding loan trusting I was a trust worthy guy with healthy animals. I had not meet him before until he responded to one of my posts. After making a agreement I sent him my male but unfortunately the breeding did not take. He made good with the breeder loan though and bought the male from me with a partial trade. Chris really showed a great amount of trust and showed that there are still some really great people out there. Great guy to talk to and deal with . I will with out a doubt deal with him again. I would suggest if you are looking for good quality animals and a trust worthy dealer Chris is your guy. Thanks Chris for the new found friendship. Mike Masters
 
Michael, this is great to hear. I have recently started talking to Chris and am in the process of a purchase with him. He is very knowledgable as well as helpful. I look forward to a long lasting business relationship with him
 
I won an auction for one of his Ferarri pastel line boys, one of the auctions for Chuck and Maggie. I received my beautiful little boa today, and am amazed at how much better he looks in person than even the pictures had shown. I asked Chris to be put on his waitlist for upcoming litters, he's got some very nice animals, and has been a total pleasure to deal with.
 
I've just received my anery Arabesque from Chris and what a beauty she is. I was very fortunate to meet Chris at the Raleigh reptile show this past year. Chris has some very nice snakes and is very cool to hang out with. I would recommend anybody to do business with Chris!:thumbsup::thumbsup:

I know Chris and he is a stand up guy. Always a positive attitude, very knowledgeable, and willing to help other keepers. I haven't bought anything from him (yet) but will not hesitate to do business with him. :thumbsup:

I have never purchased from James, but I do know he has a snake that is so gorgeous that I was tempted to cash in my BPS for that one beautiful snake!

...just tempted. :)
 
I've been wanting one of Chris' anery arabesque boas since I saw the new pics of the litter last year. Finally got the opportunity to get one and I'm extremely satisfied. Gorgeous animal and Chris was awesome to do business with.

Thanks!!

Sooo ... this is a bit late, 'cause I thought I had posted it already ... but, Chris is an amazing guy and has some really awesome animals.

I recieved a female Anery Arabesque from him a little while ago and she is the epitome of a boa in awesome health from great breeding.

Chris is definitely one of the best.
 
Just recieved a Ferrari Hypo from Chris.

It was another great deal from a top notch guy. Boa came in well packaged, healthy and well tempered.

Can't go wrong with with Chris when it comes to quality, customer service and information.
 
Chris really is an amazing person. I bought a Jungle Boa from Chris almost a year back now and never gave him credit on here. So I am very happily adding to this post. He is a very trustworthy and honest person. Anyone who does not see what he has to offer is missing out on something good. Thanks again Chris for all that you do!
 
Hey guys, saw this up and will just say thanks to everyone for making my part of the transactions so easy and I am glad to be able to call many on this thread friends now as well.

Chris
 
Chris was taking care of some boas for me while I was in the middle of a move and I recently had them shipped to my current address.

Everyone arrived happy, healthy and alert and Chris' packaging, as always, was top notch.

He has always been awesome to work with and anyone thinking of purchasing an animal from him need not worry about quality or customer service; it is all exceptional.
 
Not sure Chris has a website. I've dealt with Chris for years, and bought a hatching rack from him this year. As always, good communication and description, and he even delivered. A+ guy.
 
Well, I've still got a trick or two up my sleeve, Melissa, but yes, I've moved over to chondros for the most part. Michael, check your pm's.

Thanks for the kind words, guys.
