    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....

Do not pre-order ch baby balls.
Just email me, I will put you on a list. I will physically recieve a few thousand this year PLUS I do not have to wait for other dealers to tell me they have coming in so many and start selling them, I AM NOT A BROKER OR MIDDLEMAN, I get them DIRECT from GHANA and only sell them once they are landed, watered and fed atleast once. NO ONE ELSE DOES THIS FOR FRESH BABIES!!!!!! You cant beat that! Mine WILL be 50 cents more expensive than anybody elses, but who feeds them atleast once??? I DO. Your getting a superior product. I dont care if so and so has them cheaper, they wont be as good as mine. Guaranteed!!!
Just email me and let me know you would be interested in some healthy, fat babies later in the year and I will email you once I recieve them and they are ready to go.
This is not a joke, I do this for a living , not a fly by night so and so company.
Tons of happy references and even pics of the whole process of recieving, etc available!
thanks

This guy is a convicted smuggler.

Supporting him in any way is a detriment to those who actually care about the animals and doing business legally.
 
Does he have a BOI thread or something with the proof of it? I buy CBB myself, not imports, I was just curious as to how pre-ordering wc imports was not "pre-ordering".
Thanks for the heads up though.

There is another guy on here that was caught smuggling in snakes, and such back in 1998. I was actually going to buy from the guy till I googled his name and I found out about it.
 
There have been a few on this forum that have made some poor choices in this regard that have spent several years rebuilding and doing the right thing.
 
Orlando, Florida - U.S. District Judge Anne Conway, today sentenced Michael Barrera, 21, of Miami, to 24 months imprisonment for conspiracy to smuggle protected wildlife into the United States. Barrera entered a guilty plea to the charge on December 22, 2004.

:rofl: that's amazing....idiots just never learn.
 
Pre-ordering now is pretty much paying up front for animals that do not even exist yet and are not even guaranteed to be sent to said "importer". Most people, if not 99% that accept pre-orders don't even import their own. I import my own, always have and this season will be no different. Pre-ordering is actual ordering of a set number at a set price. I do not have a price because not even the exporters have a price and wont till season starts and they know how many eggs, etc they have.

Bieng put on a list is totally different becuase you dont have to buy, no money upfront , etc. Its more of a notification list. There are no commitments, etc.
You are just on the list, and if interested in buying some when they do come, and they are here, hydrated, etc then you have the option of buying them, not at an already over inflated price 2 months in advance!!!

If you choose to do business with me great, if not, oh well.

I am not buying thousands of balls plainly for resale to make a buck. Unlike others that claim they dont when they do, I WILL go through them, and pick through them. I am only buying 2,000-3,000 with plans on holding back 500 females. My intention is to have the holdback females pay for themselves as much as possible. Its not cheap, and takes lots of time and dedication. I have always been honest in my business dealings.


Also, as I know it will come up.....my sentence had no stipulations whatsoever, only community service hours. I did not get a stipulation saying I was prohibited from keeping, owning, buying, selling, etc wildlife of any kind.
 
The simple fact that you got a sentence should keep people from doing business with you at all.

And exported. This was no little one time thing. It was big and if I recall there were many deaths that were unnecessary as well.

It was really not good at all.
 
Changed beyond belief. You have no idea!

You would be surprised to see how most of the well known breeders have sentences, start doing some research and you WILL be amazed......or shocked????Its not my place to call out names,so sorry on that point.

My main goal is to produce great , good looking animals, and have fun doing it.

Mike, you said produce? am I missing something here?

You are trying to sell imported ball pythons that dont exist!
 
Lol Ed.
Thats my whole point, I , unlike others, am not selling them(well, pre-selling). I have seen people trying to sell them , when they dont exist. I only am advertising the fact that I will have them, and if interested in mine, when they do come in, I will let you know, that is the reason for the list.

I plan on producing animals for sure. I need to get started again somewhere right?
Well how do I come up with female baby balls to raise and later breed? I plan on selling a number of ch babies and using the profits of said snakes to pay for the ones I want to keep and later use to produce. Now, if my snakes suck, how can I make money? If they are of good quality, and are healthy and vigorous, whats wrong in that?

p.s. That spiders head is killer looking..
