    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 buy occasional herps from Chris and Sheila and have always been entirely satisfied with quality and promptness. Rgds/Dick
 
Good people...you should have no issues at all with them.
They've been around for many years and have always sold me healthy, clean critters.

They have been around for a while.
I've bought stuff from them with no problems.
 
Great people, they sell what they say they have . what more could you ask for...shipping and packaging are great also.
I have done quite a few buys from them and will continue to do so in the future.
do a search on them as this could have been put in an exhisting thread
peace
 
Ive set up next to them at a show or two, one slow one to think of off hand. As such I have had a chance to browse what they bring quite heavily. All animals were top notch and as people they are great to talk with. I wouldnt hesitate to do business with them.

I purchased a pair of Borneo Short Tailed pythons from them back in 94'.
They both arrived with respiratory infections, and one died after 3 days.

I took both to the vet the day after arrival (after keeping them very warm and humid until that point)
One survived, and one died the next day.

I called them the day the one died, and they didnt show any inclination to work with me on it.
No offer for credit, refund, replacement.


In all fairness it was late winter,and im sure the animals probably got sick due to shipping (UPS) from FL to N TX.
And I know they couldnt of stayed in business this long if that was the norm for them.

But , im just posting my experience with them.

I do remember it to this day, and have not purchased from them since.
 
I've bought from them a handful of times (only boas). Always good animals and good service. I'm sure I'll buy again.
 
3 new additions...

just wanted to let anyone know who might be considering a purchase from gulf coast reptiles of ft myers (chris and sheila) that i am more than happy with my purchase from them: 2 beautiful 100% albino hets (50% suriname) and a stellar anerythristic longicauda.
they worked with me when i wanted to make sure that id get all 3 of these boas by letting me make split payments across 2 weeks and were more than flexible about how i would receive the snakes once payed for.
i would DEFINITELY buy from them again given the right animal/price/fit in my collection :) thank you guys
