    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....

It's a new year so I am starting a new thread.

I ordered 0.2 Flying Geckos, 1.0 Tokay Gecko, and 1.0 African Fat Tail Gecko from Exotic Pets yesterday, 2-21-05. I received them this morning via UPS. They are beautiful geckos, the packaging was excellent, the shipping very fast, and I am one completely satisfied customer. I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you!
 
Another good deal!

One of the original female geckos I got from Ken died within the first 48 hours, and he replaced her free. I also ordered a male Flying Gecko and 1.1 Blue Beauty Snakes. I received all 4 animals today and they arrived alive, WELL packaged, warm and active. I am very impressed with the Beauties. Thanks again Ken!!!
 
Shelly, thanks for the very kind remarks, and sorry once again about the gecko. They are coming in pretty loaded, and although we clean them up the best we can, sometimes we fail. I'm happy you like the beauty snakes, I know I sure did. I'm looking forward to the Hitchikers movie, most likely you are too. Thanks again.
 
Ken

is a great guy! A funny guy! (he does the auction for the IHS).
He's knows a lot about reptiles, plus he's fun to be around.

Good guy!

I purchased a couple of female thayeri hatchlings from Ken. I got them the next day (yesterday) well packed and looking good. They both ate from my hand today (you don't really "have" a snake until it eats, you know).

Thanks Ken!

We picked up a female mexican black kingsnake from Ken a couple weeks ago. Perfect transaction all the way around. Great communication, packaging and perferct animal.

Ken Foose - Great Guy

I live just a few miles from Exotic Pets here in Vegas, and I love swinging by and checking out to see what's new there, as well as usually picking up some emergency crickets between shipments. Ken and his crew are fun to talk to and there's a huge selection of animals there all the time. Good Guy in my book!
 
Thank you all very much for the kind words. And thank you very much for choosing to do business with us. Take care.
 
I've heard nothing but good things about Exotic Pets but a suggestion for you guys. Try to work on the photography I often find myself looking over your ads because I know the picture is going to be horrible. It's mostly your snake pics that need work. Try photographing them closer and on a background. It's really hard to decide if I want to buy a snake based upon a pic from a guy standing and the snake on the ground by his feet. Just some constructive criticism.
 
I try to take at least one photo of the larger (2ft+) snakes with at least one of my feet in the photo so people will get an idea of the size of the animal. For future reference, my shoe size is 10 1/2. I am not very good at taking photos, never have been. Most of them I take by myself, hence the same left hand with the same watch in most of the photos. The better photos are taken by Kim, when she's around to take some for me. Thanks for the suggestion, and I'll continue to try to do better. I have a lot of photos to take, and about 2,000 animals in the store to maintain, plus customers to serve, so I've never made the taking of pictures high on my list of things to excel at. I do try to get Kim to take as many as possible. Best way to tell us apart, if it's blury, far away, too close, or the head of the animal is missing, that would be my work. And, if the photo really sucks, you are more then welcome to ask for a better one, I can always try again. Thanks again.
 
Thanks for the explanation, not trying to fault you at all my pics suck too. Guess I'm spoiled with all these pics from the big guys that look like professionals took them. Look forward to doing business with you in the future.
 
Ken's a very good guy to deal with in my book, we've had several trade deals over the last few years. This past year was exceptionally screwy for me and I'm sure frustrating for him....we had set up a trade deal and I was to send him off some baby Balls for his store, the babies I had been working with were just completely problematic, driving me nuts and in my opinion weren't fit to sell. I wound up yanking my ads and keeping the Balls instead of passing my problems along to him or anyone else.....long story short he was very patient while I located healthy, problem free replacement animals and never gave me any grief over the numerous weeks it took to secure reliable stock. I've probably dealt more with Ken on a repeat basis in such a short time frame than anyone else and will continue to do so.
 
Children's Python

I just bought a male Children's Python from Ken last week. After a little work the python came in great, healthy active and tame. Ken did a great job and was on the phone with me as well as online to makesure the transaction went through. Ken thanks for the Children's, I am sure he will do well with the female I have.
 
Great people!

Dan and I purchased a male Papuan Python from Exotic Pets- Las Vegas earlier this year and we absolutely couldn't be happier. We talked with both Kim and Ken and everything was just excellent from start to finish- the service, the shipping and the quality of the animal. He arrived in great health and correctly sexed. He's also quite a voraceous feeder... he escaped once and managed to eat two of our Caimen.

The staff at Exotic Pets are top notch in our book and we wouldn't hesitate to do business with them again.

also recently conducted business with Ken and I was impressed to say the least. Ken exercised professionalism great communication, which resulted in my new pair of Arizona Green Ratsnakes. They were properly packaged and look GREAT. I hope that our paths cross again. Don't hesitate to do business with this gentleman.
http://www.exoticpets-online.com/ = PROFESSIONALISM.

Thanks again Ken.

Very Impressed!

Just received today an 04 Sorong Green Tree from them. My transaction with them was flawless. They packed him well for the trip to Alaska, and he arrived in perfect condition. The animal is just breathtaking. He was beautiful in the pictures, but even better in person. I really honestly could not be happier with this transaction.
 
I have purchased two snakes from Exotic Pets and am really happy with both of them (a jungle carpetxdiamond and a taiwan beauty) - I have been to the shop a few times when visiting friends out west and was pretty impressed. :)

I actually watched the owner dissuade some people from buying a turtle (they wanted to purchase the whole setup and critter, which would have been a decent sale) because they wanted it for their very young (4 year old?) daughter. He stuck his hand in the turtle tank and explained how dirty it was and asked the people if they could promise their daughter would NEVER touch the herp and put her hands in her mouth, etc. He set them up with a leopard gecko instead. I was hooked! He also turned away a teen wanting to buy a baby retic, even though he was adamant and his parents were there requesting it.

To me, that is absolutely awesome. This shop obviously cares about the welfare of their animals and I am more than happy with the two I bought from them!
