    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....

Just completed a great transaction with Cliff of Living Gems Reptiles for a male Brazilian Rainbow boa. Had been on a wait list for the boa for several months and the communication was great throughout. Packing job was very good and the boa is beautiful and seems very healthy.
Thanks Cliff!

I had contacted Cliff last month about one of his baby Brazilians. We did a payment plan that went great, his customer service, responses and understanding is above what I expected. Always understanding, communicated real well, answered every single question I gave him. I just received my baby today and she is perfect, active, looking wonderful. I would not hesitate to buy from him once more with how excellent he was. Thank you for the baby Cliff!
 
Cliff is a great guy. I've seen his snakes and the way he keeps them should have the admiration of all of us. He's knowledgeable and great on the customer service. Highly recommended.
 
I just purchased my very first snake through him; initially we had some trouble with emails because yahoo is notoriously unstable, but after several phone conversations I was won over pretty immediately. He is knowledgeable, kind, and very personable.

We had a delay in shipping due to high temps, and he kept me informed the entire way. When he discovered that my boa would be a late delivery, he immediately contacted me.
My snake arrived today impeccably packaged, with an extended record sheet of his feedings, sheds, and ancestry.

I expect to be doing much more business with Cliff in the near future.
 
I just purchased my first BRB from Cliff. He was great to work with before, during and after the purchase. Great communication and beautiful healthy animal!
I will be doing business with him again and recommend him to anyone looking for a brb!
 
I bought a Brazilian Rainbow boa from Cliff last fall and could not have asked for a better transaction. I talked to Cliff several times before the shipment and he checked to make sure the shipment went as planned. Now, almost a year later, I still get messages from Cliff checking up to see how things are going. I've bought a bunch of stuff on line and you just don't find that kind of service and follow-up. If you are considering a Brazilian, call Cliff; you won't be disappointed.
 
Cliff is such a great guy and has top notch BRBs! One of mine just arrived today in the mail and couldn't be happier with the quality! Can't wait till his next litter goes up for sale
 
Cliff is an exceptional person to work with - very kind and respectable. He really makes the buying process comfortable long before money changes hands and he sticks around after it's over to continue a relationship. The babies he produces are beautiful and healthy.

I just wanted to give some details of my experience with him for any prospective buyers. First off, he knows the babies individually, so he can help you find the most friendly or the most vibrant or the most odd-looking. Animals don't ship until the weather is perfect, they're packed well, and food is withheld for shipping (how it should be). He also employs extensive quarantine protocols which should make anyone feel confident. Animals come not just with lineage but with records detailing their first day till shipping, which is a thoroughness I have received from no other breeder across all the species I work with.
 
I purchased a BRB from cliff's 2016-C litter earlier this year, communication was excellent, cliff even took to time to answer any and all questions I had about the animal. Shipping was fast, and very professionally packed. I would not hesitate to do business with him again!
 
Cliff is pretty much amazing. I contacted him just to gush about his gorgeous high reds and I ended up with a little baby male BRB of my own about three weeks later, after Cliff helped me choose which of his babies best matched what I was looking for.

Cliff seriously should win some kind of award for his patience and quick replies to my many emails and texts. This is my first snake and after having him ~2 months I still text and email Cliff with questions--he was even nice and supportive when I confessed my phobia of shed skin to him. :blush::eek:

My baby is the coolest little guy, brilliant temperament from the second I opened up his little deli cup. He is a beautiful snake, perfect health and condition. He came with full histories of his monthly weights, feedings, and sheds. I absolutely could not possibly be any more thrilled with my rainbow boa and my experience with Cliff/Living Gems Reptiles.
 
I recently received a male baby Brazilian Rainbow Boa from Cliff at Living Gems Reptiles :) After giving him a couple weeks to settle in, I feel comfortable stating that Cliff is fantastic.

Communication was great all around. Cliff actually remembered me from when I contacted him two years ago - before life hit me in the face - which was quite stunning to me :)

My little boy arrived packaged wonderfully and he is more beautiful than pictures can provide. They just don't do him justice.

He's already eaten twice for me, little doll that he is.

Thank you so much, Cliff! I'm thrilled with him <3
 
I just completed a transaction with Cliff, and I couldn't be happier. Cliff's customer service and professionalism is outstanding. He is easy to contact and patient, and he obviously cares about his animals. His animals are well packaged and come with care history, and lineage information. It was refreshing to make an online transaction where I was able to have so much confidence in the health and quality of the animal I was purchasing. It is clear that Living Gem's breeding stock is high quality, due to the vibrancy of color and overall beauty of the BRBs.

Thanks so much for this little gem Cliff! I'll be buying from you in the future.

Dealing with Cliff was absolutely amazing. It was a positive experience from beginning through now, I would say end but I intend to stay in touch and snag another Living Gem BRB! You can’t go wrong dealing with Cliff!

Thank you,
Chris
