    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....

HE MAKES SURE EVERYTHING IS FEEDING AND HAS BEEN WATERED BEFORE IT GOES OUT!

good guy/ but he's got bad help!!!

Ray is a grate guy!! but his help you got to watch!! I bought a 12 lot of ball pythons from him! and they were suposed to be 100% healthy.C.B, and feeding . Well i sent him the money andhe called me a few days later and told me he didnt have 12 ball pythons he only had 10 so he was going to throw in a bigger black back and on other bigger ball python! well i said it was fine he could sent them in replace of the 2 ball python yearlings. Well they came in and i looked them over and noticed that alot ofe them were coverd in ticks, and the bigger one he sent me had a bunch of scabs on its belly. so right away i called ray . He told me that his help was houseing his imports with his C.B ball pythons and thats why they hade ticks. he said the one with the scab on its belly got stuck under its water dish and was under there for a while. but i will give ray the props he backed up all the ball pythons and i sent some back and ray is going to make it right. ray is a grate guy he just has to find better help!!
:D thanks Andy Hilliker
 
ray from HBR is a good guy

Ray is a good guy. He sent me 2 greeks and one didn't make it. He is replacing it on my next order. Doesn't seem like much, but it was well after his "Live arrivail" had expired.
Good Guy? YES!!!!
I will work with him in the future!!

Ray From HBR. Yes there are still GREAT guys out there!

I just wanted to also tell how I am VERY pleased with the level of service, kindness and generosity that was shown in doing business with Ray from Herpetological Breeding Research. He was never late with a reply, was VERY professional in packaging and shipping of my male macklott python and told me the absolute truth about the animal's true personality, rather than just saying, "tame" like so many people who are too quick to abuse that term. ;)

Will I be doing business with Mr. Ray anytime? You betcha! I plan to do business with him for as long as he's in business! :D
If you want to know more as far as referencing him for business, just ask me! Go for it! This guy is great!

Many hugs to all and happy herping!

I've purchased from Ray a few times now and so far we're extremely pleased. Excellent guy!
 
Thanks everyone. As with any business growing pains occur!! LOL!! We've had a few mistakes made recently. Some were my fault, some my help....They should know better. They have worked with me on and off for years. In the end however, it's my fault if there are any problems. We ship nearly every day of the week. Between our educational programs, removal service, rehab, breeding etc. etc. I get stretched out! LOL! I can say that problems are far and few between. However, I can forget things! (Getting old?) If you have a credit get back to me on a regular basis to remind me. Animals come out of quarantine daily. If you e-mail me and don't hear back... just e-mail me again or call. I like to believe that what makes a company is not the "Good guy posts" but, how they handle problems. I'll take the posts anyday though! Thanks! LOL!! Even if you do not purchase from us please feel free to e-mail or call with questions on husbandry and breeding!Were here for the animals! Thanks Again. Ray G. HBR
