    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 purchased a trio of GCR Gold Pastels and they look great. They have all taken F/T rats already and are well adjusted. All of them were sold to me over 100 grams and the box came with double heat packs. Chris and Sheila were very friendly and informative. Would buy again.
Thanks,

Here's a couple other threads on GCR and it's nice to see that Chris and Sheila McQuade just keep on producing great animals and providing excellent customer service.

I made another purchase from them this year of 3 neonate green tree pythons from their Kaifau pairing and couldn't possibly be happier with the support both before and after the sale. All 3 of the babies have been thriving for me since the day they arrived.

My only complaint is that I don't have enough money to purchase everything that I'd like to from them!!

I've been dealing with Chris and Sheila since the early 90s. That I still purchase from them today, and continue to refer people to them, can be taken as nothing but a sign of continued excellence - both in the quality of animals they produce/ship, and their customer service.
This is actually a very timely thread, as I recently made another purchase from GCR.
I have said for years that if I were going to purchase a black pastel, it would be from Gulf Coast....and that's exactly what happened. I didn't even WANT a black pastel, lol - I had recommended them to somebody that did, and showed them a GCR ad to illustrate why. I resisted the temptation for about a month(?), but the little guy is here now.
Thanks again, Chris & Sheila!!
 
I knew Chris back when he was manager of Herpetofauna, wow, that goes a way's back.
Chris and Sheila are GREAT folks and I consider them some of my closest friends.
You cannot go wrong with the quality of animals they produce, and if you ever need expert advice, they are the one's to go to!

I received an albino het snow boa from them today, and he's amazing. Sheila was very nice to talk to, and everything went smoothly from beginning to end. I'd recommend them highly.
 
I just received my Albino Black Pastel Ball Python Male, He is Killer and nice and fat. Can't wait to put him thru my albino females, spiders etc. Chris and Sheila McQuade are great to deal with and I look forward to doing business with them in the future.

I've bought several snakes over the years from Chris and Sheila at Gulf Coast Reptiles. Great people; great snakes!
 
Sent you a pm with their phone and email address Gary, I'm toying with the idea of picking up a couple more neo gtps from them too!!
 
Great Guy/Gal!!!

Just received my Canary chondro from Chris and Sheila on Wednesday and the little guy is awesome. Looked better then it did in the add and appears outwardly, very healthy.

Communication and patience with me and all my ridiculous questions was absolutely fantastic.

Packing was superb and it arrived warm and in great shape.

Will definitely buy from again!

Thank you Chris and Sheila!

i purchased from chris last week. i got a smokin vanilla and black pastel male 66% het axanthic..yes communication was top notch,i will buying from them in the near future.thanks guys
 
If your Gulf Coast gold pastel came from the "Miss Goldy" line that mine came from, you may be amazed at how beautiful your future babies are! I bred a male from that line to several different normal females, and most of the babies blew away other pastels I have seen. They surpass the original male, and he is not too shabby himself! This winter I hope to breed him to his really yellow pastel daughter to see what happens. Hope yours produce little beauties just like mine does!
 
I have received a few animals from Gulf Coast. They are very nice people and produce nice animals. Delivered healthy and as advertised. The only suggestion I would give when dealing with them is to make sure you call the on the phone. Email can sometimes be delayed.
