    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 just purchased two 7 hole racks from Doug Barr of B.A.R.R.s in TN.  For those of you who have not heard of Doug and Mikki Barr they are some great people I met while at the Tampa show in March.  I had never seen any plastic rack systems before in person but the ones that Doug had blew my mind and I had to have some.  Doug realized that shipping would be expensive since my wife and I were flying back to Indiana.  He told me to call or email him after we got back home and he would see about delivering them to us.  I emailed him about a week after the show and he said that he was going to the Colubus, OH show and that it would be no problem to drop them by to me at the Indianapolis show my wife and I attend.  Doug brought both racks to me, unfortunately my car was not big enough for both racks.  I got one rack and all of the accessories in my car but Doug would have to ship the other one.  I received the other one on the following Friday via UPS.  So I have had experience with all aspects of this transaction with Doug and I have no complaints.  Everything was very professional and well packed whether it was shipped or delivered by Doug.  I can't say enough about Doug as a business man who else do you know that is willing to drive a rack system across two states for a delivery.
 Just a little more about these racks.  These racks are very light weight and sturdy.  They are sold in 3 hole sets.  When you attatch two 3 hole sets together it creates a 7th hole.  They are very well constructed.  I had been apprehensive about plastic and had always used melanine but these were an impressive product.
 Anyway I guess the point is that I am very happy with my racks and the service from Doug Barr of B.A.R.R.s...Thanks Doug!!!

We agree! We just recieved a display set-up and am very pleased. The display is very well made and arrived when he said it would. It was clean enough to use right out of the box. I will be getting a rack from him soon. Casey
 
Totally agree!! Barrs is great, I was very pleased with my
dealing with them.  I purchased this aboreal cage in March
and Doug was very pleasant in emails, communicative
and friendly.  The quality of the cage is top-notch, I would

After seeing the kind of racks Doug makes at Albey Scholl's booth and meeting doug, I ordered8 rack systems form him, and couldnt be happier. I am aobut to order 3 or 6 displays from him. Barr racks rule
 
I met Mr. Barr at a show in South Carolina.
He was a very nice cordial man.
He took his time talking and explaining different things to me about the enclosures..
He even took the time to answer my questions about his new credit card machine.

Anyway I have one of his 4 foot enclosures.  In it resides an 8.5 foot female boa.

Quality:  9 (stains easily)
Pricing:  10
Shipping: 9 (can't ship the bigger ones?)
Packaging:  N/A  ( I picked mine up in person)
Courtesy and Profesionalism:  10

I recommend him.
Good cages.
Good guy
