    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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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....

*****Scammer Alert*****
Caution Do not do business with this guy!!!!
His name is Jimi Rivera from Murphy's Ca. and claims to be a Boa breeder. We agreed on a trade, I sent him $1000.00 worth of ball pythons in exchange for a couple of Sunglow Boas. This transaction started in November of 2014 then the cold weather came so he couldn’t ship. Since the weather broke he has come up with every excuse under the sun, such as; I’m a single father and work a lot , Fedex is too far from me, so today I can’t ship, and now the last one was his collection has mites and he is trying to get rid of them. Between text and PMs I have over 100 posts

You have til the end of today or you leave me no choice.
You cannot reply to this conversation.
 
Through just these PMs, it is not looking too good.
I take it he has stopped all communications with you. Correct?
Have you notified Mr. Rivera of this BOI thread?
 
Are these the BPs that you sent him?

I already text him about this site, I told him about the other sites he will be put on also. If you read my post you will notice I was very patient even though he screwed me over, but enough is enough....

Okay.

I did see that it has been awhile.
Can understand your frustration at this point in time.
 
No they are not. He was sent a 1. Mojave het OG, 1. Enchi ghost, .1 normal het OG, and .1 cinnamon double het OG Pied. All adults and proven breeders.
 
That's him! He answered my texts he said he was going to ship now but we will see. I've been told that before I am going to give him a week.
 
I'm the one who suggested you post here. I hope that he comes through and sends you the snakes you are owed. Make sure that, should they arrive, you record the unboxing just in case anything goes wrong and please keep us in the loop. I've got my fingers crossed for you.
