    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....

Many snakes stolen please help

I am writing this to ask for help from our fellow good guys in the business. Two local reptile specialty shops were broken into in the past few weeks and a number of high end ball pythons and boas were stolen along with an alligator.anybody in the upstate N.Y. area that may be selling albino boas surinams, hets, ball morphs,especially Rochester,N.Y. should be looked at carefully especially if they're new to fauna or kingsnake.I would be glad to investigate any leads,and forward them to the owners and local police.
thanks and God bless

Unfortunately there no pics available.there were 2 stores in our area that were hit the first is a store that I do not frequently visit, and only heard of his break in after the second store which I do frequently shop was broken into. This store does not ship or sell through internet and keeps no pics of his animals.I know a young american alligator was stolen. a yearling green tree python and a bunch of baby to yearling boas. albinos suris hets and argentines. From what I hear the other store lost high end ball pythons and some boas.American alligators are illegal to keep in N.Y. without a permit for educational pourposes,so maybe this will get him caught.

What stores were they?

I would think that they would at least have kept pics of the high-end snakes? Without pics, it is next to impossible to ID the animals that were stolen. Another good reason to keep good records, including pics from various angles, of your own collection.

I feel terrible for the folks, and truly wish them luck at recovering their animals.
 
I have pictures of the snakes and gator. I have been compairing the pictures to every Albino Boa for sale on the net.
