    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....

great people to do bussiness with

My list.....

I only deal in arboreals, so here is my short list. I will only deal with these few folks for quality animals. No one else at this point.

Craig and Karen Clark
Dave Torro
Danny Mendez (Urban Jungles)
Tim Bowles (Arboreals Of The Rainforest)
Tony Nicoli (Awesome Arboreals)

If I ever decide to branch out into other ventures, there are a couple other folks I would deal with.

Kolleen Jenks (Python Breeder)
Dana and Loren Pennebaker (Sundial Reptiles)
Steven Emerick (Napa Valley Snakes)
Shannon Brown (High Sierra Reptiles)

Just wanted to add one more positive post about Mark Kennedy.
I just got in 2 pairs of Hogg Island Boas and I couldn't be happier.
Mark was really good to work with, prompt response to my emails, a shipping schedule that worked for both of us, honestly represented stock, good packaging, etc.
I highly recommend doing business with Mark.

I have to do a little plug for SOME of the people who donated to the auction at the FIRE show to benifit I.B.D. research.


Osborne Exotics, ran the donations and took care of all the hard work, THANX!

Reptile Industries, Mark and Kim donated a yearling pastel ball, (I almost came home with it)

Pete Kahl, several nice boas, including the albino male in my basement (Thanx Pete!)

Joel Dubay donated a nice albino boa.

Just Herps were very generous!

Moonstruck Exotics a nice 4' cage

Doug Barr, a nice 4' cage with a divider

Pro Exotics donated several temp guns.

These are just a few of the donors, I wish I could remember them all.
Some of these guys were not even at the show, they shipped the donation.
They all deserve your business if you see them at any shows and they have what you want, they are GOOD GUYS.

Ed Lilley of Constrictors NW
Rick Kelly of Chicago Reptile
