    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 personally visited the herp farm after seeing an ad. They have all sorts of reptiles packes into little sheds pythons boas frogs...ect ect. I seen alot of filthy cages and poor heating methods. I wouldnt recomend buying from this place.
 
I think you need some kind of proof such as pictures. I understand that you are just looking out for the reptiles but in order to be proven as being a "BAD GUY" then there has to be some kind of proof besides just spoken words.

I agree.

This sounds like a disgruntled buyer (or perhaps would-be buyer) who didn't get things his way, or simply just a troll trying to stir trouble. Either way, we need details and evidence, not just a kid on a soapbox.
 
I have purchased from Glades Herp farm before and have also personally visited their site in October. It's Tom Crutchfield's old place. It's not uber clean but still for what it is the animals are clean and there are a lot of workers who take care of them.
I purchased 5 hognose the day I was there...
 
Wow.... Really? No I didnt bring the camera besides I dout theyd just let me snap pictures of their compound. LOL and im from Ocala and GHF is located in Bushnell about 40 min. from my house so yes I was there and saw what I saw so if you all dont believe me go see for yourself. Thats all I have to say about that matter, just thought people should know what kind of conditions the animals are in that they may think about before purchasing. I personally I would NEVER EVER buy anything from there even tho the boa I saw looked healthy and fine just what the surounding conditions were like were not good. So Buyer Beware...

Oh and to be more specific, 15ft retic. pythons in 2x2 enclosures with poop / urates all over the place and well as all sorts of species housed together in one single unit which is like 5ftx 10 ft. No offense to glades herp but I just think they could do a much better job of how they keep their animals and have a more sanitary cages.

Maybe I just came at a bad time then. idk.
 
SWOMPDONKEY have you been to other reptile wholesale facilities? by the way those sheds are 20 foot sea trains. if i remember correctley. both robbies and anyone of the guys at glade would of had no problem with taking of pics. i would love to see a dirty glade herp. please post pics.
 
I bought two Longicaudas from them a year ago and have had absolutely no issue with them. Haven't been to their facility, but without evidence, I'm inclined to not agree.

I have pics of their facility on our field trip page at www.northfloridaherpsociety.com
They didn't care and even encouraged pics...

With a member of the northern Florida herp society chiming in with pictures, saying nothing about their facilities being bad, then I'd say it's a closed case. Pics say it all as they were taken late last year. Maybe you caught them on the day before cleaning. I am not saying your words aren't true but that evidence says otherwise. That's why it is so important to have something to prove yourself. There's only so much you can trust on the internet with out true evidence.
 
The large retic I saw in the field trip pictures was in an 8' custom neo.

Now the guy free handling the Aspedilaps....

Ok maybe they were a bit bigger, and maybe I misreprested the post as "badguy" Im not at all saying the people at glades herp are bad people and the guy that gave me the tour didnt seem like a bad guy at all I just think that some of the cages were a bit dirty and I personally (i know they hadnt been cleaned in weeks) but in no way am i saying that thier reptiles are bad or anything. I just thought this website is a free place to post ones experience with a particular breeder/wholesaler....ect. Im just expressing my opinion/experience so that others may know, nothing more.
