    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....

Great Guy

Hey Dave,
My experience with Tim Koppenhofer at Special K Reptiles was an extremely pleasurable one.

I purchased (2) trio’s of Amel and Ghost corns from Tim, and was extremely pleased with not only the animals but also Tim's professionalism and excellent customer service.

The animals were well represented and shipped/packaged properly and in a timely manner.

Additionally, Tim went the extra mile to accommodate my color preferences, sex ratios, and lot size. Absolutely superb Customer service!

I would definitely do business with Special K Reptiles again in the future and recommend Tim to anyone looking to purchase quality animals at reasonable prices.

You can't go wrong buying from Tim Koppenhofer!!!!!!!!

Great people !!!!!!!!!

Best Regards,
Jason Kuta
 
I've purchased from Tim Koppenhofer before. I'm EXTREMELY HAPPY with my boa. He's very good at answering questions, he packages his boa PERFECTLY, and he has AWESOME ANIMALS! I'm sure you'd be very pleased with your purchase. Overall I'd give Tim an A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
I have an albino and het retic here from him. He seemed knowledgeable and happy to answer questions. I would not hesitate to purchase from him
 
Tim is 1 of the true good guys. He seems to be very keen on the boas. I have bought, traded and talk to him on a regular basis. You should have no worries when dealing with Timmy. He has a distinct attraction to Balls, he just wants to go around and hold other peoples balls and look at them. It is really weird but that is his own thing.

I purchased an exceptional F2 Hypo female from Tim about a month and a half ago. I was checking her out at the Pittsburgh show and couldn't decide weather to spend the money or not. Two days later I called Tim and talked to him about her and he drove a couple hours to meet me to complete the deal. Very nice guy, would not hesitate to do business with him again. He did mention those balls to me too, something about them being in blue.
 
Tim's a Great Guy

I've purchased several high end animals from Tim including a near adult female albino boa and a dh sunglow male that are gorgeous. There was another animal I bought from Tim as well and all were in excellent health and it was a pleasure to do business with him each time. Tim aka Special K Reptiles is another reputable person on the top of my list that when I see something I'm looking for posted by him I wouldn't hesitate to contact.
 
I have to agree with all of the other posts, you can't go wrong with Tim. I have bought from him before and will buy from him again. I have also asked a thousand questions that he has gladly answered.
