    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.

    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 recently made a transaction with Don for some Honduran Milks he had for sale. Don's customer service is top-nothc, he is cordial and timely when answering e-mails and I couldn't be happier with the animals I received. They were packaged wonderfully and look fantastic! Thanks again Don! :cool:
 
Difinitely One of The Good Ones.

I have dealt with Don a few times over the years and all transactions have been top drawer. Definitely someone I would recommend
 
Creamsicles

I bought some Corns from him and they are doing well.
Don't hesitate to buy from Don. :beer:
 
I have said it before and I will say it again. Don and Sally have great snakes. They are super nice people too.
 
Good Guy with Good Snakes

I have known Don for a few years and he is a great person to deal with. His snakes are top notch and his prices are excellent. If you see an ad from Don that seems to good to be true it isn't! You will know you got a hell of a deal when you open your package and see the quality he offers. I recommend Don often with the highest regards. Tom Stevens
 
Don Shores great guy in the business.....

I have known Don for a few years and have purchased colubrids from him through the years. His prices are more than fair and his quality is top notch. Do not hesitate to purchase from him. He is one of the great guys in the business/hobby. I will continue to do more business with him in the future. If you buy from him you will too.....

I am going to have to agree with everyone else in this thread! I was referred to Don by several people....and I must say it is refreshing to deal with such an upstanding good businessman such as Don Shores. If we have to deal with creeps like Mike Clark, at least there are people like Don out there to create somewhat of a balance. :)
 
Everything I have ever owned by Don has been nothing short of incredible. I have been blessed to know him as my friend for many years, and have enjoyed seeing the babies he produces each and every year. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for some killer cal kings, hypo and albino splendidas, brooksi, etc.

You will not be dissapointed!

Take care!

I've dealt with Don for a few years now and all of his animals have been top quality and healthy. I would recommend, and do recommend, Don frequently.

I second everyones experience, I have done buisness with Don in person, and what a great guy , very friendly and cordial. The last transaction we had was a trade a month or so ago, man he hooked me up with some many awesome colubrids I didn't know what to post 1st. , from striped hypo brooksi to hypo hondurns, he has some of the best out there.
many thanks Don
 
I agree with what everyone else has said: Don and Sally are very nice people that have fantastic animals. A++
 
Don is a really good guy with nice animals. I purchased one of his surplus adult albino Honduran milk breeders last year and I received an awesome animal that has been a great breeder so far for me. I would definitely do business with him again.
 
Don is a great person to do business with. Not only are his animals top notch, but the vast amount of knowledge that comes with. He always provides great customer service and I have personally gotten several from him. The people who have responded to this thread are very respected individuals and they know a good person when they see one.

Don produces some fantastic high end kings and milks. I've had the pleasure of chatting with him a couple of times at local shows and just finally made my first purchase from him recently. He gave me a great deal on a vanishing hypo Honduran. It's got an excellent temperament and a voracious appetite. I couldn't ask for more in such a gorgeous Honduran. AAA+++
 
I also agree with the other posts about Don and his great snakes. I have had dealing with Don for a few years and always felt I was treated more than fairly by Don.
I have read a lot on this forum and other forums and have talked with other breeders everything has always been positive about Don and his snakes. He has been great in
Answering e-mail questions, selling me great cornsnakes, shipping properly and in anything you would or could expect in a world class producer/supplier. Thanks Don

Just bought 2 female honduran milksnakes (Albino & Anery) from Don this weekend in Daytona, 2 thumbs up :thumbsup: , will without a doubt do business again.
 
This is an old thread and I'm surprised I hadn't posted yet.

Don Shores is a top notch breeder in my book. I got an albino splendida and hets from him eons ago and they are still doing well. It has been a fun project and the animals are top of the line.
 
I've been looking at splenida lately and Don Shores' name kept on coming up. The photos of his breeders were very nice so I emailed him to ask about getting a normal pair and a het axanthic pair. He emailed back quickly, gave me the price, we agreed on the deal and ship date. The night before he was going to ship he gave me a call. He and his wife had crossed wires, she had fed them that day, so he'd prefer to hold off a week before shipping. Of course my first thought was, Wow, a wife who'll feed snakes?!? What a woman! And I agreed with him, better to err on the side of caution and hold off shipping since they'd just eaten. We set the date for the following week. He emailed the day before to make sure it still worked for me. The night he shipped he let me know they had gone out and gave me the tracking #. They arrived a little while ago. They look great. They're as pretty as I'd hoped, have nice body weight, are exactly what I was looking for. Add me to the list of satisfied buyers. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.
