    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 Daniel Parker of Sunshine Serpents

DO NOT BUY FROM HIM

I recently bought a corn snake motley from Daniel. It went well at first, he was very quick to answer any questions I had. That is until I received the snake. I emailed him several times on her feeding habits and got no reply. I became more and more stressed as she regurgitated both of her meals. Unfortunately she passed away last night. I am extremely frustrating. I am beyond out raged at this point. Do no buy from Daniel!!!:angry::angry::angry:

UPDATE: I did get a reply from Daniel. Everything has been worked out fortunately. I will admit most of the problem I've had was my own anger and general distress, hence creating a bit (or a lot) of bias. I do thank him for his help and everything.

~anger, sadness, and frustration create an ugly thing
 
I purchased a pair of locality speckled kingsnakes from Daniel last December. At the time he was advertising females only, but in the course of our discussion he told me that he had a male but that he was not yet feeding on his own. Since I wanted a locality-matched pair he offered me the non-feeding male at a significant discount if I was willing to do the work and assume the risk involved.

The pair arrived healthy and full of piss and vinegar, just as baby speckleds should be. I was able to get the male feeding without any real trouble and the pair have absolutely thrived. I have since had the pleasure of meeting Daniel at a show and have more snakes on the way pending good shipping weather.
 
To follow up on my previous post, my second order of snakes from Daniel shipped out on Monday, and thanks to FedEx were stuck at the Memphis hub and did not arrive until today. During the delay Daniel kept in daily contact with both FedEx and myself and was very apologetic and professional. The snakes were packed well and arrived alive despite the long delay. They are hydrating now and I don't expect to have any trouble with them, but I have no doubt Daniel would make it right if they had not arrived safely.
