    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....

Has anyone done business with Jungle Bob? I visited his store in Upstate NY recently and it was a clean facility with nice looking reptiles. Of course looks and be deceiving.

Sounds like a post with an ulterior motive. Did you buy something from their seemingly "clean facility"? Did you interact with anyone there? Why the comment regarding looks being decieving?
 
Was there anything that put you off doing business while you was there?
They do have good reviews that I can see and nothing terrible I have found so far.
Yes looks CAN be deceiving but if you are a "people" type person hopefully you would have got some type of vibe while there and interacting with the staff....I mean you DID talk to them while there I hope!

If you read my question I asked if anyone has done business with them. So If you have not done any business with them there is no reason for a comment.

Of course I asked questions and everything the staff was nice. I was just wondering if anyone has has `done business with them. Just seeing an animal through the glass doesn't guarantee that it is healthy....

Your post was more than just a question, and your question is not the part of your post that I commented on. Had the place been filthy, would those looks be decieving? I was somply inquiring as to why you threw that comment into your post. You failed to address it. Your perogative. No harm no foul.

So, clean facilities, healthy looking animals, and a nice staff wasn't enough to impress you. I'm guessing you need a vet report and history of the animal? Are you referring to a pet shop here? I don't know of anyone that you could make a simple inquiry about, that wouldn't take your initial post here as a shot at their credibility. No need for the last sentence in your post. Thus my comment about an ulterior motive. If someone posted your words about you, you'd get it...maybe
 
See I personally would prefer doing as much research as possible about anyone I choose to buy from. Nothing bad ever happened from being well informed.

You just want to start problems don't you? Please don't start something you can't finish Chris. Now if you would like to end it here we can or you can continue on with the conversation looking like a complete jackass.

About jungle Bob I live in the area of this store and have bought stuff and window shopped as well.The place is clean all animals for sale seem to be in great shape.The staff is good.And as for jungle Bob him self very perky and happy always has smile.So if your looking to buy something chances are you will walk out happy
 
See, they lost my business a few years back for reasons involving feeders. The first time, I'll take some blame, as I should have been more persistent. They had placed all of the rats I ordered in the same box, needless to say, the medium rats partially ate all the pups, weans, etx. Upon returning, I got the sorry nothing we can do, even though I was back less than an hour later. Second issue was opening a box of rats on a seperately occasion to find them covered in black mites. About 4 months ago, I was in a jam on getting feeder insects, and went there as a one off deal. The shop stunk of death, nearly every exhibit was cohabitated, including 6 species of python in one enclosure. Top that off with a 2 foot water dragon in a 12x12x18. I didn't buy insects. Last issue was at a local show in October, one of their employees in an attempt to sell crested geckos told a group of people around their table males don't fight and you can keep at least a half dozen adults in a 10 gallon tank. Now, all of these issues happened when the owner, bob was not around. I know bob is a good guy, and maybe when he's there things are different. But I personally would use caution in purchasing anything from them. I had no issues shopping at the store through two previous owners, although that is irrevalant.

That's interesting but to be honest most pet shops aren't great at keeping feeders healthy.

Since a lot of shops at the least breed a portion of their feeders now, I could argue the point. Also, rats turning canabalistic in 30 minutes, and snake mites on them doesn't say much good. Feeders aside, heavy cohabitation (I know storefronts have to do it in most cases) of animals from different parts of the world, as well as mixing cb with wc isn't necessarily good in my mind. Top it off with bad advice (male crested geckos together, 6 to a 10 gallon), and the cleanliness of the store isn't really necessary to paint a negative picture. Selling a living thing in general males you liabial to be able to show as well as describe proper husbandry, care and maintainance, no?

I might also respectfully argue your point, Christian, since those pet shops that house and sell snakes and other herps also use those very same feeders to feed their own stock.

Therefore, it is in that pet shop's best interest to keep those feeders clean and healthy in order to keep their own "for sale" stock clean and healthy.

Do you really think they would stock and sell feeders and not use those very same rats, mice, rabbits, crickets, worms, or whatever, not to substain their own in-house animals?
