    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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: James Brumley Exotic A.R.C.

St. Louis...

I live here in St. Louis, and I've met James several times at his shop and at shows.

What is that you need to know exactly?

I am considering a purchase...

he has some greybands listed... for less than I have seen them going for. You know the old saying if it's too good to be true. Can I trust him to send what he represents in his ad and to stand behind it.
 
I know that James breeds a ton of colubrids (they're hatching at his shop all the time). While I'm not a keeper of colubrids and therefore not a good judge of their quality, he seems to know what he's doing that regard. Definitely he’s no “quick-buck scam artist”. He’s been in the herp business a long time and I bet he plans to remain there in good standing.

So I believe you can be assured that he'll treat you fairly and deliver the snakes you pay for. That has been my experiance with him.

Jim is a good guy

I've bought an albino striped kingsnake from Jim. She's doing very well and is a beautiful creature. A friend of mine has several of Jim's babies and they are all doing great. You can definitely trust Jim.

I've known Jim since the late 80's and have seen lots of
quality animals come from him. What is discribed is what you get nothing less.
You don't have to worry doing business with him he'll treat you right.
