    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....

I'm pretty sure these 2 are the same business, just a different name, but please correct me if I'm wrong. I am having trouble findind any feedback or reviews for either one. So far the website and ads look very professional and communication has been great...any other input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
 
I recently bought a male cinnamon ball python from Mike Shaffer. It is CinMaleMSR01 on his avaliable page (marked as sold of course). When he was first listed he was 250g, but when I bought him he was up over 600g easy. Nice big, healthy, clean snake. I would have no problems buying from him again.

I picked the snake up locally and the only thing I would change is my decision to drive through Pittsburgh a few days before Christmas to pick him up. I really don't want to be on the Parkway the night of Dec. 23 ever again. :ack2:

But this snake was well worth it. :thumbsup:
 
I have come to know Mike through some local shows.

He's bought a number of animals from me and has always been a person of high integrity.

I consider Mike a good friend---and I'm usually not friends with buttheads.

lol Good to know. I don't like buttheads either! He's got some beautiful snakes.
 
Thank you everyone for the kind words! I used to be under the name Shaffers Exotic Herps. I just thought Mike Shaffer Reptiles was more simple and well maybe not so weird looking, lol! Cindy I am getting you those pics tonight. I will send them to you as soon as I am finished. Thank you!
 
Good guy!

Mike is a great guy. I just bought 3 nice sized normal females from him for a nice small price. He responded very fast to all my questions and shipped them out the next night for me. All three are in great shape and look very nice! He had they packed up very good too. I would recommend Mike to anyone! :thumbsup:
 
Thanks I ended up buying a male mojave ball from him, we're just waiting for all this cold weater to go away to ship. Mike has been great throughout the whole process though, very informative and patient. Super communication!
 
Thank you Kieth and Kathy! Im glad you like them! Its always easy to treat someone with respect when they are such nice people! The customers make all the difference!

Cindy, I cant wait to get that Mojave to you! I know you will love him! Take care!
