    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....

Just wrapped up a great transaction with Paul Huang. Paul had some rattlers for sale and I was interested in his yearling canebrake. I live about 3 hours south of Paul, so I said I would just drive up to Albuquerque and pick the snake up. Paul was kind enough to hold the snake for me for over two weeks, without any deposit.

When I got to Paul's, he graciously invited me into his place and proceeded to show me his very impressive collection of herps. We chatted for around 3 hours, and probably would have gone on for much longer had I not had to leave by a specific time :(

The canebrake I got from Paul is a spectacular specimen and took to his new home at a friend's place very well...he didn't buzz much on the car-ride back, but once we got him out he sure let us know he was a rattlesnake afterall, :)

I feel I gained a lot of things from this transaction: a great snake, and a new friend and herping buddy. I would not hesitate one bit to purchase another animal from Paul, and you shouldn't either. His animals all looked in very good shape and it's readily apparent they recieve tons of TLC.

Thanks again Paul, hope to see you again soon!
 
Paul Huang is definitely a rarity in this business/hobby. I have delt with him on more than one occasion, and he is just a great guy to deal with. He is very smart, and he never toots his own horn (unlike me). His knowledge on Rattlesnakes, Tree Boas, and Pythons is extensive. If you ever have the opportunity to do business with Paul, I would highly recommend him as well!
 
I dealt with Paul on one occasion to pick up a subadult male southern scrub python. This has been...I guess...around a year and a half ago now. He was very prompt in responding to my e-mails, I was able to reach him by phone, and if I remember correctly he was also willing to negotiate a bit on price. Bottom line is that I received a gorgeous scrub and couldn't have asked for a better snake or transaction.

I got that very same impression from Paul myself when I went up there...very smart, yet very modest. His animals were all in top shape and spectacular specimens...especially his vast Crotalus collection (20+ species)...very nice, and I had a great time visiting him.
