Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them.

    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....

I have had the pleasure of my first completed transaction with Martin Fox of DBM Reptiles, and I'd like to tell everyone a bit about the transaction.

First of all, I saw the ad for a female yellowbelly ball python. The pictures were gorgeous, and I decided I'd like to have her, but...Martin had no feedback here on the BOI or anywhere else on Fauna. To say I was skeptical is an understatement. I PMed Martin in a rather skeptical tone, asking him to tell me about himself. Honestly, I didn't even expect a response.

My husband was sitting in the background going, "what do you want her for?" "She's not all that."

The response I got was a full explanation of who Martin is, what his business beliefs and ethics are, and I discovered he was super friendly. I was immediately put at ease, so I paid him for the ball python.

The remainder of the weekend was spent chatting with Martin via PM, and through the course of the weekend, it seemed as though he had decided it was his job to ensure my comfort with this transaction. I received communication at every single step of the process.

Well, my little girl arrived this morning. She was packaged perfectly. I opened the box, and much to my surprise, this gal is almost neon. The pictures that Martin posted in her ad were nice...but real life is a whole other story. She is eye popping, fat, and has a fantastic temperament.

My husband just arrived home, and had nothing to say that was less than glowing. He is truly impressed, and anyone who knows him knows that that's not an easy thing to accomplish.

All in all, the transaction was flawless, excellent communication, great packaging, BEAUTIFUL snake. I would not hesitate to recommend Martin of DBM Reptiles to anyone wanting a way-better-than-expected snake at a fantastic price.

Thank you, Martin!
 
I'm a beliver. Now I can see what the wife saw in this girl. She is outstanding. She has a great temperment, is very plump and amazingly beautiful. You can tell Jeff loves his animals. :thumbsup: These pictures do not do her any justice.

Thanks Martin.:D
