    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 just purchased 1.2 golden greek tortoises from him. All of the animals are eating out of the box and are in Fantastic condition. I have no doubt they will be long term healthy captives. The price was more than fair and the customer service was promt and flawless. There was a small hiccup with the first shipment which was fixed the very next business day. All in all i would never hesitate doing business with herps etc a.k.a Carson Phelps again.

thanks Carson!

Ive known Carson now for almost 2 yrs and hes always done right by me..Ive been to his house and seen his snake room which was very clean.. His collection was well kept and he had a nice variety of different mutations..

I know Carson has alot of negative press on here and this would deter others from wanting to deal w/ him.. I on the other hand was one to give him the benefit of the doubt and dealt w/ him in person and will do so again in the the near future.. Past is the past, has anyone been wronged by him recently?

Im not trying to side w/ Carsons past as it was b4 i knew him, just wanted to let potential customers know that not all his dealings go sour..

Thx,

I met Carson today for the first time.

He purchased some racks from me and it was an excellant transaction with no surprises. :thumbsup:
 
Great guy

I just received a Male Butter Ball, a female spider and 2 ghost hondurans. They all got here safe and sound. It was smooth transaction and I won't hesitate to do business with him again. I've read the other threads before this one and I think everyone deserves a second chance. He has never done me wrong and we've been doing business for over a year now. Great guy with great service. Better yet great animals. Thanks

I traded Carson a wholesale lot of GTPs that I produced for a pretty rare species of turtle not to long ago, they arrived in great shape. I would do business with him again. Thanks Michael
 
Funny how if there are no problems during the deal, Carson is a stand up guy but if something goes a little wrong he'll Screw ya.. You know the saying it's how you manage the deals gone wrong that shows who you are.. Guess you are not much Carson...

Michael I am surprised .. Randy
