    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....

Ernie has been around longer than most, and is as REPUTABLE as they come.

Bottom line, you can't go wrong with Ernie, GUARANTEED!

Ernie is one of the trust worthy pioneers in the herp community. He has bred and produced herps for over 40+ years?

Buy with confidence.
 
Ernie will take care of you! He was a curator at the Woodland Park Zoo a long time ago and a good friend. He also wrote the "answers" in the "Ask the Breeder" section of Reptiles Magazine. I haven't spoken in a long time, as lost contact - please PM me, but rest assured YOU ARE IN THE BEST OF HANDS :)

The first time I had purchased animals sight unseen, (pre-internet) was from Ernie Wagner. Along with carpet pythons and an Emerald Tree Boa, Ernie told me he had these "really cool black and orange sand boas called Kenyans". I had no clue what they were, but he had 3.3, and I remember being so excited and blurting out the words "I'll take 'em!".
Each animal that arrived was more healthy and more beautiful than the next.

That was in 1988, and Ernie was great to deal with then, and I'm sure he is just as great to deal with now.

Good luck with your purchase!

It's been a few years since I've had any dealing with Ernie, but I can assure you that he is top notch and a many of his word. As mentioned, he's one of the old school breeders that's been around seemingly forever in the hobby. You really can't go wrong.
 
If there was such a thing as a reptile god, his name would be Ernie Wagner. I've known him since the Woodland Park days. THE man
 
Thank You guys for being super informative, How ignorant of me haha. Thanks you all for positive feedbacks and helping this community a better place! Ups for all!
 
Dinosaur Age

Ernie has been keeping reptiles for so long I remember seeing dinosaurs at his house. Gary Larson used Ernie and others at the WPZ for many of the characters in his comics. Ernie could very likely be the originator of breeding reptiles as more than a hobby starting with Burmese pythons decades ago.
