    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....

Has anyone dealt with Dan from VA?

Yeah I bought 14 of his females.

They were all in the weight range he advertised...all seemed healthy.

One has (just now getting over) a Respitory Infection. I replied to him and told him this...never heard a word back from him.

That's all I'll say about him. He seems to be a good guy, but when his advertisements saying "All Sales Final", he's not lieing.

About the snakes...

All of them were shipped in an insulated and heated (heat pack) box, in seperate pillow cases...which had feces in them. None have eaten for me yet, because they are in "breeding mode" as he told me.


Good luck with your purchase.

Joel,

Thanks for your reply. That was just what I wanted to know, as it seemed to good to be true. They were going too cheap for LTC, but pricey for WC animals. By your experience it seems more than likely they are WC.

Thanks again and good luck! :)
 
No Prob Alvaro,

And it is complete bs when he states that they are in breeding mode. My het Caramel is not going near one of them, but he is courting a CB specimen I have. :(
