    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....

Michael Joliff (Good Guy!)

I met Michael just about a year ago. He drove a few thousand miles to buy some snakes from me. We worked out a deal involving cash and trade. We were both happy with the transaction. Since then we have corresponded a lot via e-mail and phone. I have always had intelligent and informative correspondence with him.
Mike and I recently agreed to another trade which my part will be fulfilled in a couple weeks. Instead of waiting, he sent me my snake tonight. He does fair deals with fair and reasonable people!
I'll vouch for him and I've been in the business before he was born!

I also just did a trasaction with him at the White Plains show.

I have been going to shows for a few years and I have NEVER has this experience with a vendor :).

He overheard me talking to my little brother (a 13 year old award winning science prodigy - sorry love to brag about him!) about morphs and genetics, and he started explaining things that I couldn't! Michael spent a good twenty minutes with us talking about his snakes and basic genetics "This plus this will get you this" and such. Let me tell you this show was extremely busy! It shows so much caring and integrity when someone with $10K snakes on his table will chat with people obviously not there to buy the $10K snakes!

I ended up buying a baby possible het male and a normal baby female. He was completely honest about everything and even popped the snakes right there! He helped me pick out the het he thought was best, and also went through all his females and picked one out for me. He even gave me a discount!

It's not the dollar amount here or even if I ever see a pied (crossing fingers though!) it's about a breeder being a wonderful person and really caring about his animals and other people. This man made less than $100 from me but he treated me like I was spending $100,000. He wasn't pushy or "salesman-y", didn't make any promises, told me everything he knew about the snakes I was buying, and didn't try to push anything on me.

I hope he reads this and knows how wonderful he is. He's cute too! His wife is one lucky lady ;)
 
Jeez Danni,
you better hope Dan doesnt come wandering around here. Normal female? I thought you said a poss het pair. Oh well, I guess I don't pay attention.
Anyhow good luck with the little guys.
I did overhear Michael talking a lot, as I was near his booth frequently. Though I never talked to him myself, he was always just chatting friendly with a showgoer, never pushing sales.
If I ever have 25k, I know where Im getting my snow LOL.
 
I Was There Too

I met Michael Joliff for the first time at the show and was very impressed with the quality of his pastel ball pythons. I've often seen ads posted that referred to the "Joliff line" but never had the pleasure of meeting Michael until yesterday. It's always nice to put a name with a face and after talking with him and seeing some very impressive animals I'll definitely be contacting him in the future.
 
Thankfully he barely knows how to read! (Dan)

No the male is a poss het, the female is a farm bred normal. Of course you weren't listening, you were too busy following Chris around and ignoring me :p
 
- No doubt -

Mike's a great guy with great animals. I enjoy chatting with him every month at the Columbus show. Certainly, one of the best.
 
Just because Dan cant read well doenst mean he isnt a good person, and wont realize you have a farm bred normal, and a 66% het pied.
I need a pied, make me one. LOL, well, I am saving up for a pastel, and I want some 100%, ya see Danni, 100%, not 66% lol, het for albino or ghost.
