• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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 bought snakes from all three of these dealers. Can anyone share with me any good/bad experiences they have had with them? Thank You.
 
I just bought a snake from glade herps a few weeks ago...everything went quite smoothly....packing was pretty good shipping was right on time only problem was they sent me the wrong snake....the one I wa supposed to have gotten was sent a reptile show....so I called Terry and he just told to send her back and they would give me full credit on everything...but she was a very nice animal and we just decided to keep her....so all in all it wasnt a great experience...but I was still happy all the same...

I've bought animals from Glades.  Nice guys, answered every question I had.  Shipped promptly and in appropriate packaging.  Animals were perfect and exactly what I was expecting.  My only issue was their lack of response to emails and that their webpage is frequently out of date... but once I actually made a phone call to them I had no problems at all.

Its been a while since I ordered from Glades but I can say that all of my dealings went very well.
 
I have done business with Glades Herps on a personal level and I have no complaints about them and Rob is a great guy and is very involved in the herp community, he is not just trying to make a buck, he actually likes his work and his animals.

If you are talking about Sam Craver from South NJ, I can surely vouch for him. I visited his facility a couple months ago and everything was nice. He has some great bloods and regius. All his racks were clean.
BTW, Sam...that mel garter is like 18" already! She ate 3 unscented fuzzies today and a couple yesterday! She is becoming my fav snake!
 
Update: Not pleased with the "Customer Service" provided by Glades Herps. Terry M does not reply to emails. Not good. Would not do business with them again.
Sam Craver is an excellent guy, caring, and a good business man. Prompt with emails and follow-up - definitely a Good Guy!!!
