• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    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....

This post is a way overdue, but life got busy. This last March I received a SuperFly male from Jon after many emails back and forth. I started off purchasing a killerbee, but while waiting for the weather to ship I changed my mind a few times, lol. He was more than gracious and always supportive in whatever I wanted to do. Honestly I don't think you can find a more meticulous, organized, trustworthy breeder anywhere. The snake came packaged perfectly. The snake....well what can I say other than Holy Crap! He is so calm. Eats anything I put in front of him without hesitation and gets better looking with every shed. Can't say enough good things about Jon as a person and a snake breeder.

That is awesome! Its always good to hear about a person who is understanding and caring enough and especially when it comes to things like the weather conditions on both sides to wait for a good time to ship. That was really cool of him to work with you changing your mind too haha. I'm not a BP owner but I can relate tho there's alotta different "paint jobs" and when I was trying to decide on what I wanted to work with i know i had a tuff time deciding.
Anyway I just wanted to say this Jon sounds like a good person to get involved with and even though i always go for animals that aren't what everyone else is doing I know its only a matter of time i come across a ball python that I won't be able to pass up even tho i probably won't breed them but id like one for a pet some day haha.
SO CONGRATS ON YOUR NEW BABY AND WHAT A PRETTY ANIMAL YOU GOT. Thanks for your post cuz you helped me potentially find someone to look into when the day comes to welcome a BP into the family. Good luck��
