    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 on Michael Beach - [email protected]

I purchased 3 sand boas from Michael a couple of months ago. They arrived in perfect condition, professionally shipped, etc. I sent him the shipping charges when ordering, and was actually $5 short because the snakes were very heavy. I would definitely do business again with him.
 
Planning a purchase?

Matt-

Are you planning on making a purchase with Michael? If so, I just made my second purchase with Michael and everything worked out great. Shipping was timely and the animal was packaged perfectly. Not to mention he has made a couple of inquiries regarding how my animals were doing. I wouldn't hesitate purchasing from Michael.

Ciao-

Yeah I am thinkning of it, he has several species that I am interested in....I am a very very wery buyer unless I know you..You know how that goes...lol, Ill keep watching for a few days and with a few mailsss. I probably will

Just an FYI about the $50 up front shipping...

I've gotten burned here about that one. Shipping companies like to quote me one thing, verify the quote when I drop off the package, and then 2 weeks later, I get a bill in the mail for $2, $4, even $15 more than I was told! They like to add on "special charges" and "fees" after the original quote and charge.

At least he was willing to refund you the difference; most would just charge you a $50 flat rate.

I believe I met Mike at the recent Hillsboro show, but I'm not sure. If that was him, he certainly had some nice animals.
 
Micheal was kind enough to let us share a booth with him this last weekend in Hillsboro. Just thought I would say thanks Micheal. Aslo while the subject is still open, all the animals that he brought to the show were in awsome condition as well he took us on a tour of his collection after the show, it was quiet impressive.. All of the animals recieve very good care, as well as spacious enclosures. Anyhow I know your reading this so THUMBS up to you!!! See you in Puyallup!
 
michael beach

I've had good experiences with Michael Beach.
Bought from him twice now.
He shipped when he said he would, the snakes arrived when he said they would, the animals are solid, healthy, attractive and ate right away. Don't know what better recommendation I can give. I'll do business with him again.
 
Honest- that is what Michael Beach is- besides being just a nice guy who is very concerned with the health of his animals. I have purchased from him- and know him personally- I would recommend him to anyone!!! Cynthia Peticolas-Stroud
 
Michael Beach - Great Guy!!!

I just finished up a trade with Michael Beach, and I could not possibly be happier. The animals we recieved from Michael are FANTASTIC. He definitely has some of the nicest Antaresia I have seen in a LONG time.

The customer service we recieved from Michael throughout the transaction was second to none. He is an extremely kind and understanding person, and VERY easy to work with.

His packaging was perfect. I couldn't have asked for anything better. The snakes were individually cupped and labeled accordingly. The box was of appropriate size, and insulated. He even used a 60 hour heat pack, despite the shipment only taking approx. 12 hours.

Michael requested we use Delta for the trade, and it worked out for the best. We both got our animals shipped safely and legally.

This is how trades are supposed to work. I can't SCREAM that enough!!

Thanks Michael - we're happy to do business with you and recommend you any day of the week.
 
I recently purchased an 04 Hog Isle boa from Michael in November of 04. I couldn't be more pleased! I had never before purchased a snake over the net (tarantulas yes, but not reptiles) and had certainly never used Delta Dash before, but Michael made it easy! After I told him how horrible I am with directions and that I'm not familiar with the Detroit metro airport, he called himself and got me very detailed directions. He truly was a godsend! The snake arrived healthy and gorgeous, and is eating like a champ. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on other animals he offers, and certainly wouldn't hesitate to buy from him again.

Michael's great!
 
I purchased a Kayuadi Dwarf retic from him a few months back and was very happy with the transaction. He shipped the snake out promptly, and the snake was just as he had described him. I would do business with him again.
 
You couldn't ask for more...

I recently purchased a year old Red Tailed Boa from Michael. Living only a couple hours away, I was able to drive down and pick him up.
First, I was totally impressed with Michael's set up. He has A LOT of snakes and everything I saw was very high quality. There was NO JUNK in his reptile room. Michael is really into his snakes and cares a lot about him, even after they're gone. He is proud of his collection and he should be.
The level of communication since I bought the boa has been outstanding. He has checked with me several times to make sure things are going well. I have never had anybody follow up like Michael Beach has with me. Most complete the sale and they're gone.
I would not hesitate to buy another snake from Michael again. He is truly a nice guy. He is very credible and honest. The wealth of information he possesses is something special.
Anybody who is contemplating buying a snake from Michael should not worry about the earlier posts in this thread. Some morons like to cause trouble with careless words that cause damage to reputations. They can walk away and never realize the problems they've caused. Michael Beach is first class all the way!
