    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....

I searched for Ken's name at the BOI before buying a female Hogg Island boa he had posted for sale right here at Fauna. Even though there was no history on him I gave Ken a shot and I am certainly thrilled I did! The animal he sent me is drop dead gorgeous and is a definate keeper in my breeder collection. Everything went very smoothly from my initial inquiry right up until the animal arrived just a few days later. I am very impressed with the quality of Ken's animal and smooth transaction I would just like to let everyone know he's a pleasure to work with.
 
Good guy

Hi there,

I have also done business with Ken Oaster and have been more than pleased with the animal I received. Here is a link to another "good guy" thread about him here on the BOI:

I agree 100%. I just bought a 1.0 adult okeetee from the Love's line from Ken. I mean this is a BIG snake. 4-4.5 '. I asked if the snake was tame he said yes it was. How true. This is a gorgeous okeetee, sweet, calm and did I mention GORGEOUS? Thanks Ken for the great snake.

Great service

I just purchasd a nice lot of roaches from Ken. I agree, great service and product. He was on the ball, contacted me prior to shipping and after with a tracking number. He also tracked the shipment before I did and emailed me. This great service and it was for roaches. Thanks Ken.
