    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 Dave Colling - Rainbows - R - Us

I bought a Brazilian Rainbow Boa from Dave, after having a sour experience with Backwater Reptiles. To start with, communication with Dave was excellent. He returned my call on a Sunday, and the next day the snake was safely shipped. FedEx was late with the delivery on Tuesday, so Dave contacted them to inquiry.
He was extremely attentive and caring, easy to talk to, but the best part was the gorgeous snake that came out of the package, a little beauty, perfectly healthy. She is very friendly, testimony of having been handled with lots of love while in Dave's care. There is no doubt that my next purchase will be from him as well. Highly recommended!
 
Just got my first BRB from Dave Colling and I am so impressed by him. You can tell he really cares about the well being of the animals. Not every vendor contacts you to make sure the snake is safe and healthy when it arrives, or gives you a feeding record. Customer service is great, and my new boa is absolutely gorgeous!! I would absolutely get another boa from him and I hope one day I do!
 
I agree, Dave does a great job.
I bought a boa from him as a Xmas gift for my son. Dave went out of his way to get the snake to me on one of the last possible shipping days of the season. Communication was great- he even worked on a Sunday- and the snake arrived in great condition, and with a care sheet enclosed.
