    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.

    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....

Snakes from Tom

Well, I got two MBKs and an axanthic brooksi from Tom today and, as usual, they are really nice...fortunately I live close enough because I hate to ship, especially in the summer months. I have several snakes from Tom, all very heathy. One of his girls gave me 10 good eggs this year. I also purchased a very nice snow girl from him this year. You can't go wrong with his snakes...Helane in Austin
 
I just received my MBK from Tom this morning, awesome looking guy and dealing with Tom was a great experience. He will get my return business.

Another positive -

Just received an MBK and a Brooksi.

FedEx guy didn't bother to knock - I'm here and waiting for that door to knock - and Tom calls me, letting me know it was delivered. Very well packed, healthy looking snakes, very satisfied - will buy from again.
 
I got lucky and stumbled into finding my man Nokturnal Tom Stevens. I have been waiting to get back into the hobby that life and funds at the time wouldn't let me pursue 20 years ago.

From the first quick reply to my email to the email I just got from him---excited about his fantastic new hatchlings--He has been one of the singlemost helpful people I have ever had the pleasure of working with.

He explained all of my questions in detail--and--THE ANIMALS ARE UNBELIEVABLE. They are living works of art. They are creamsicle x reverse Okeetee and I picked up 2.2. (Ol' Tom taught me about the x.x, btw)

Check out this one taking a f/t after about 55 hours at my place.

Well---this is my 2nd post--but it's to say HOW INCREDIBLE MY SECOND PURCHASE FROM NOKTURNEL TOM STEVENS IS!!

The guy is a pro--FLAT OUT. Tom has stayed in touch with me since I first met him in the above purchase. I have had a million questions for the guy--and he has answered every single one--and then some.

Today----I unpacked my Snow Honduran and Albino Tangerine Hondo---UNBELIEVABLE. They were packed very safely and arrived just like Tom said. They are thick, healthy babies that I am totally psyched to have added to my collection.

P.S. Tom--There were extra snakes in the box. I ordered 2 and you sent me 4. What's up with that?!!!!

Thanks again Tom---YOU ROCK!!!
 
Tom Stevens Professional

I recently purchased two floridana kings from Tom. One is a sulfur lavender and the other is his het mate, both are beautiful and healthy. They were expertly packed with two heat packs which kept them nice and toasty even though the FedEx driver was 2 1/2 hrs late.

Tom's animals are top notch and what is most important to me is that Tom always does what he says he will do. No guessing or insecurity that your hard earned money will be swindled; you can trust Tom Stevens.

I agree!

:iagree:

I think it's fair to say that after 10 full pages of "good guy" feedback on this thread and a few other positive threads regarding Tom, we can all agree that Tom is one of the best out there! His animals are nothing less than TOP NOTCH and Tom is always willing to share valuable husbandry advice with anyone looking for help!

Keep up the good work Tom!! :thumbsup:

Well I just received my first Mex Blk King snake. I bought the little guy (around 14") from Nocturnal Tom. Being a collector at heart, I wanted a very nice snake. Tom and I traded quite a few e-mails before we agreed on a deal. Tom was a pleasure to work with; answering all of my questions, and putting up with my "slow pace". Well, once we figured out this crazy weather, Tom shipped him. I felt like an expectant father, pacing and looking out the window for the Fedex truck. Well, around 2:30pm he arrived. Upon opening the box I was pleasantly surprised to find exactly what Tom said. Active, health, and a beautiful glossy black. If you're looking for a reputable breeder, look no further that Nocturnal Tom's web site. Thank you Tom :thumbsup:
 
I just had to add my two cents in here as well. I have known Tom for a few years now. I got the opportunity to visit his facility back in August before the Austin show. I was looking to expand my colubrid collection and have really been looking at brooksi and Tom took the time to explain alot of the genetics behind the projects he is working with. When I buy into this project, I will be getting them from Tom!
 
I just wanted to take a minute to thank Tom for the great animals and service he has recently provided. I purchased a pair of axanthic brooksi, a hypo brooksi, and a MBK. He answered my many questions openly and accurately, sent me pictures and even helped me find another breeder who might be able to provide me with animals I was interested in, but that he did not have available. I can't wait to grow these guys and girls up and add them to my breeding groups. And I can't wait to see what other animals I can purchase from him in the spring.
Thanks

I recently received 1.1 p.c. affinis from Tom.

Not only did he patiently take time to answer all my questions, his communication throughout the process was thorough and the packing on the animals was top notch.

The snakes are beautiful and are thriving. I would not hesistate to do business with him again.
 
A+++++++++++

I have been purchasing from Tom for a few years now and his animals are unrivaled. Most of my brooksi collection has come from him along with a few of my pits and I have never been more pleased with a group of animals as I have been with Tom's. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone looking to get new animals. Anytime I have even a little extra cash, he's the one I go to first! He is patient, friendly and stands by his animals 100%. I can't say enough how great of a guy he is.:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
 
I think tom needs a recent review. i just got a male axanthic southern pine form Tom about a month ago and he is awesome. Great feeding response and is an all around great snake and a start to my snow project ;)
