(note: this has nothing to do with the brokering of ball pythons with or from whomever for whatever. I have no knowledge of Paco’s other business deals nor do I care. Frankly speaking, the way a person does business or “earns a buck” is no one’s business but they’re own as long as it is done legitimately and honestly and from my personal experience Paco is as legitimate and honest as they come {just read on}, he’s just gotta learn the associated online etiquette e.g. don’t post the same pic as your source on the same board 
My name is Adam Perales, I’ve been a lurker on this board since the herpwantads days. Being somewhat of a skeptic I’ve found myself constantly drawn to this site from time to time. It has been an invaluable resource since it’s inception only a few short years back.
When I first came across Crazy Colered Reptiles' ads I was skeptical that someone was willing to sell what seemed to be a carefully collected and purchased breeeding collection. (I mean come on, Albey’s best 2001, the carrot-heads, the PA’s, hypo baldy’s; he did his homework) Being quite a fan of some of the more outrageous E. Macularius morphs, I could do little to resist the temptation to at least inquire about this; meanwhile staying wary of the “too good to be true syndrome” we’ve all fell for at one time or another. The thing is, you don’t expect a no-name fella to be legitimately selling a group of this caliber without there being some kind of catch.
So I called Albey, checked the BOI saw verification of KelliH’s PA’s and researched a couple more of his puchases. I couldn’t find a loophole in this deal and after a bunch of lengthy phone conversations and e-mails (in which he didn’t hesitate to answer any of my questions), I took the plunge and sent him a TON of my hard earned cash along with a contract UP FRONT and bought 9/10ths of his accumulated breeding stock. Now all need to understand that for a period of about 48hrs, Paco had a large sum of my CA$h sitting in his bank account and could have just as easily gone to Mexico or just about anywhere else with my money. Did he take off? Did he rip me off…? NO!
Sure enough after over a month’s worth of negotiation and a couple of minor bumps, Crazy Colored Reptiles has proven to be true to their word.
· My order was hand delivered to my home by Paco (Charles Gauch) from over twelve hours away round trip from my location on the date and time agreed upon.
· All the animals arrived healthy and as represented.
· The animals were transported in a climate-controlled environment.
· Offspring were brought to appropriately demonstrate the genetics behind each individual group of breeders (WOW).
· He brought receipts, invoices and comprehensive husbandry records.
· He was even willing to hand sign a legally binding health/sale guarantee contract for the animals I purchased.
· Oh and I won’t even begin to go into all the freebies he threw in.
The bottom line is this: I took a chance on a no-name guy, did my homework, covered my end with a legitimate contract, trusted him with a large sum of money and got rewarded for it with a deal that worked out better than I had hoped. CCR has quickly become a valuable, resourceful colleague as well as a good friend of ours. As far as I’m concerned, his word stands on water. If you want verification, e-mail me: [email protected]
I can scan and provide copies of my invoice, contract, and any other aforementioned hub-bub.
Paco, I have to apologize for my delay in this post it’s been a bit hectic around here as of late. Thanks again my friend and you’re welcome back at our house in Sacto anytime,
