    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 about COLUBOIDS from Hollywood, FL?

Coluboids

Hello,
his name is Dave(his last name slips my mind..sorry) :slamit: and he does wonders with African House snakes of the genus Lamprophis. He is a good guy. I have done a trade of two with him and everything went smoothly. He packs the animals well and if very professional. What species are you thinking about getting ? Hope this helps and take care Michael Hance
 
Hello, Michael-

Well, unsuprisingly I'm thinking about getting some house snakes- namibian house snakes.

Thank you, that does help a great deal...

House snakes

Hey Brenda,
I am sure you will be happy with them. the Namibians are cool animals. I think the last time I talked to Dave he said he was in the process of doing some writting on the husbandry of Lamprophis...so you really can not go wrong. Also, when you find your wallet a little thicker, I know he carries some of the rarer species of house snakes there are few animals prettier than an Aurora house snake( L. aurora). Best wishes in the new year

His last name is Powell. He's a good guy to deal with. You'll get good, healthy snakes from him.

Sorry to hear about your problems with Dave. I had a good transaction with him a few years ago. Nothing against you...but I would be interested to hear his side. Either way, I hope you guys are able to resolve the issue. Michael Hance
 
FYI, I'm not his customer.

I think the buyer would like to hear what he has to state as well. That seems to be the crux of the problem. Dave has found time to posts ads here but not address his customer.

Take a moment and view the other thread. After all, I posted the link on this thread so that his satisfied customers can take a look at how he solves problems when business doesn't go as planned. A little peer pressure if you will. Glad your transaction was good.
 
Also, to give an informative opposing position to your statement

I'm not stating that I disbelieve you. Just that he isn't consistent in this area.
More than one person has come forward to state the poor packing and shipping choices.
 
Wow...

I am not sure what to say. After reading that and knowing he has viewed the thread without replying, I probably would not do business with him again. I hope he steps up and does the right thing.
Michael
