    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....

INQUIRY:   Ronnie Meeks

Hi,
If you're talking about Ronnie Meeks in Maryland.... I wouldn't trust the guy. He was a so called "friend" of mine before I moved from Maryland to Texas over a year ago and before I left I gave him some real nice cages at the last minute before I moved and just asked him to give me something for them when he could and I never heard from the guy again. I even saw him trying to sell them on kingsnake a year ago.
He doesn't breed anything that I know of and just buys groups of low quality imports and re-sells them to try and make as much of a profit as he can. I have seen how he keeps his reptiles housed and it is disgusting to say the least.
I would be very cautious if you plan on dealing with him!
Ronnie, If you happen to see this, I had over $500 into those cages and I hope you're enjoying them. What comes around goes around man. I have replaced those cages on my end 5 times over, how is it going up there "buddy"?
Good luck with your deal,
John Staursky
 
Hey buddy...lol  it seem's you have a problem with me john and cant talk to me man to man so you try to destroy people here since you cant get on kingsnake and do it..(by the way real smart move) I breed my own animals in a private building and have done lots of shows but like to do online orders . I give a return policy unlike you and if they dont like the animal they can return it in a window of 48 hours. i dont complain if they return them you cant please everyone but i try. I hope you can settle this like a man and not try to trash me anymore i do a great deal of bussiness on kingsnake and stand by my animals. I did sell imports yes ...i however dont anymore and havent for 2 years. If anyone has any questions about my animals  please see me and i can give you references and dont belive everything you read some people just cant let things go and im not going to talk trash about john he' a good guy but i am going to defend my reputation at all costs. Thanks
 
Hey Ronnie,
It's only fair that I warn other people about you. I mean look what you did to me! I gave you some real nice cages that I had over $500 invested into and all I asked you for was a little something for them, meaning, anything, a $100 bucks a few little snakes or whatever. I even said no hurry, just whenever you could. But man, it's been almost 2 years. I think it's fair to assume I was screwed over!
I gave you all of my contact information when I moved and then when I saw you trying to sell the cages behind my back I e-mailed you several times and never heard from you. I'm sorry, I did get one short e-mail that said you were trying to sell them with some animals. Never heard from you again.
It just really bugs me how greedy people in this "hobby" start to get over a few bucks.
I had you over my house, helped you out with buying a whole collection of animals from you when you needed the $, made trades with you and this is what I get in return for it???
Excuse me for being such an ass and bad mouthing you on here.
You e-mailed me and said you would send me something when you could yesterday... don't worry about it now man, it looks like you need it more than me. Consider the cages a gift from an old friend.
Take care,
John Staursky
 
Hi, I bought a female Suriname boa baby from Ronnie, and she is great.  He represented her pretty well, answered my questions well, and shipped well.  He was easy to work with.  I'm not saying John's problems with Ronnie are to be forgotten- not at all!  I am just saying that my dealings with him went well, and I would deal again with him.
