    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 had the chance to meet and do business with Mike Yarish this past weekend in Anaheim, and what can I say other than he was a pleasure to deal with !

Great animals, knowledgable, and a super guy to just hang out with ..

Keep up the good work Mike !

Stephen and Justin,
I hope that Mike disclosed or at least you were aware that he has an adult male hypo that was flat out and lost control of his body. Also, he has some ball pythons that has mite in his collection.
 
Clean & Great Collection

Well,
I can tell you I visited Mike's place two weeks ago and purchased an outstanding aberrant Albino from him. I was really surprised at how many top quality Boas he has in his collection. I handled most of his boas and I did not find a single mite in his place. His cages were all clean and all the boas looked very well cared for and well fed. Mike gave me a great deal on the Albino even after he was offered more money then he originally offered it to me for.
I do not bring many Boas into my collection much anymore, but felt comfortable and confident in purchasing this albino after visiting Mike's place. I was impressed by his collection and husbandry and would buy from him again in the future.
 
Well,
I hope you also saw (or he showed you) this boa in question

This is simply a thread that is stating our personal experiences with Mike, the animals that we have purchased from him, and our accounts of satisfaction with the animals that we received from him. Please do not taint his hard work and care with unempirical malign. Know I know you two have had differences in the past, but let’s try to be bigger then that and try to just put things aside and make this snake world a little less hostile place :) I’ve personally dealt with both of you and think that we just need to stay concerned with ourselves and furthering our own great hobbies and collections. We’ve all had mites, but that is in the past tense, if you have them you get rid of them, learn from it and take care of the issue so that it doesn’t resurface. I’m not going to comment further just don’t want to see you guys going at each other when it really isn’t productive or necessary.

Thanks for your time,
