    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....

Hi my name is Aaron Vasquez and I am interested in a few of the snakes Wrathraptor has for sale. I was just wondering if anyone has done business with him and if they would recommend him? I just saw some pics of the snakes he has on another persons ad on KS and they are not in the same state even so no offense to Ian (wrathraptor), I just want to make sure I'm doing business with a good person.
 
I have done business with Ian before. He is very knowledgeable and has top notch animals. In fact, I am getting more from him in the next few weeks.... I wouldn't hesitate to do business with him again.
 
I completely understand your concern, Aaron. No problem. I'll respond here. I'm gonna try and get Linda to respond as well. I, too, shop both Kingsnake and Fauna, and it never surprises me when I find discrepancies between similar ads found on both sites.

Linda is one of the business partners for Rare Serpents. The other partner is Joe, who is responsible for the husbandry and breeding of the snakes Rare Serpents sells. Linda does most of the web-related activities of the business, such as the website and Kingsnake.com ads. I occasionally post ads for Rare Serpents on Fauna. My association with Rare Serpents is that I do most of the photography for them, as well as do the genetics for their animals, scale counts on the snakes to properly identify their species/subspecies.

Linda has been preoccupied with a personal matter as of late and as a result I posted ads on Fauna for the snakes that Rare Serpents has for sale. She has recently posted the ads for the snakes on Kingsnake. However, a few details on one of the ads is incorrect concerning shipping. That will be rectified as soon as we can possibly manage. Linda is still quite preoccupied with matters more pressing to her than ads for snakes. However, she is the one in possession of the account for Kingsnake, and will make the necessary corrections when she can. Now, I know that my account on Fauna says that I am from Denver, and that Linda's Kingsnake account says "lower 48." Rest assured, she also lives in Colorado, and that her location specifies where Rare Serpents will ship to, like it does for many other dealers on Kingsnake.
 
I've done business with Ian before. He's a great guy with a lot of knowledge and experience, and his animals are always awesome. Definitely one of the good guys.
 
so far Ian has been really straight forward with me and seems to be a stand up guy I will let you all know how my transaction plays out in the next couple of days but so far he has been great
 
I've spoken to Ian and he's truly passionate about his animals. I can vouch for that and the fact that he's working with Linda, who I've also spoken to...can't wait to do business with them in the future. I'll let you know how it works out!
 
I just got two albinos and two het hogs from him they are beautiful and healthy and Ian was a real pleasure to do business with I wouldn't hesitate to go with him
