    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 a transaction pending with Don Shores and wondered if anyone had dealt with him before. Any input would be appreciated.
 
I got some lovely alterna from Don a couple of years ago...they have never been anything but perfect, healthy thriving snakes. Truly excellent stock, and Don is just a really nice guy to top it all off - super friendly, and cares as much about his customers as he does his snakes! I recommend him without hesitation!

I have sent a few people to Don and Sally and also have set up at the same shows with them. I have heard NO complaints. They are great people and have awesome awesome snakes. You can'tgo wrong when purchasing from Shores Enuff Snakes.
 
Don and Sally Shores are great people. We have made several purchases from them over the past few years and every animal we received was A+. I can guarantee you will have zero problems when dealing with them.
 
I bought a honduran from Don last year. Great service and he shipped when he said he would.

I've talked with Don several times at shows and he has been a customer of mine every once in a while. I would have no hesitation at all about recommending him.
 
Thanks for all the input guys. I spoke with Don this morning and finalized the deal. I am definitely not worrying at all after seeing all this great press.
 
It's probably redundant at this point, but I too purchased some snakes from Don a couple of months ago and everything was perfect. The animals were top notch and his service was excellent.
I wouldn't hesitate to buy from him again.
 
I also can recommend Don!

I have known Don for a long time and he is absolutely one of the best and most honest breeders out there. Every snake I have/have had from him was/is the best of that specific kind I was looking for. His service and professional attitude makes very little room for others to match. You have nothing to worry about! :D

Dons a fine person.....

In my experience, Don Shores is a fine person to deal with. You're in good hands....Jeff
 
Don Shores is an excellant person to deal with. I have purchased several snakes from him and have been delivered with nothing but the best. He is very knowledgable on all of his herps also.

go with Don

I picked up some odds and ends from him this season. SMOOTH SAILING WITH HIM!!!!! Everything was what he said it was. On time, packed correctly and all that other good stuff. you will not be sorry. Mike Panichi
 
Just wanted to say that I received my animals from Don today and they arrived properly packaged and are as represented. In fact, he threw in a bonus animal to boot. I would definitely recommend Don and look forward to doing business with him again.
 
Don --Good guy

I got some Kingsnakes in yesterday from Don and wouldn't hesitate a bit reccomending him to anyone. Nice animals well cared for and well packed--Jim Bond
 
I purchased an albino banana king from Don at the Arlington Show. He was super nice and the snake is flawless! It is very refreshing to see a thread this long that is all positive, it is an unfortunate rarity! Thanks Don!!

I just received an adult albino Honduran milksnake from Don this morning. It arrived healthy and well packaged and is exactly what I was looking for.
Don was even nice enough to delay shipping at my request and allow the snake to complete it's last few weeks of brumation at his place without interuption. I would definitely do business with Don Shores again.
 
I bought an '03 Lavender Albino Brooksi female from Don, and she just arrived this morning, warm, healthy, and calm as can be.

I'd do business with him again, definitely. She's gorgeous!
