    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....

Reid at SoCal Reptiles (Good Guy!)

Reid was very professional

I found his advertisement on the Internet and contacted him promptly.

We exchanged about 50 emails back and forth, each time he replies within the hour.

I was sold on buying his Russian Tortoise babies, they were in great shape.

The transaction was very smooth I paid and received the turtle the next day after he shipped it out. He made very sure the tortoise would arrive in safe condition across country (3000 Miles), we waiting for the ideal shipping temperatures just to be on the safe side.

All I have to say is that, this is a no brainer and anyone looking to buy from SocalReptiles shouldn't hesitate for a minute as you know your getting a good product.

Reid- SoCalReptiles

Outstanding service and outstanding guy. Reid was super professional, called to be sure my jungle carpet python arrived safely after it was delivered and answered several emails concerning lineage. It's really nice finding breeders that are so into the health and care of their animals. Will definately do busisness with Reid again! Keep it up Reid.
 
SoCal = SoPro(fessional)

Again, I've bought another Jungle carpet from Reid and AGAIN he did not dissatisfy. Quality snake and quality breeder/service. Reid is definitely an up and coming force in this industry. KEEP IT UP REID! A+++ :thumbsup:
:thumbsup::thumbsup:
 
SoCal Reptiles - Great Experience All Around!

I had never had a jungle carpet python, but felt like the chance of obtaining one from a good lineage was out of my budget - until one day I happened to see Reid's listing online and made sure I seized the opportunity.

Reid did a great job at communicating with me before, during and after delivery. During the whole process I felt like I received responses quickly and was able to talk with Reid directly about coordination of delivery, instead of someone else. Please note that I am located on the east coast and yet communication was a breeze.

After reading about Reid on his website, I felt quite comfortable ordering from him. He truly cares about his animals.

I am very pleased with my new jungle carpet python, and would definitely recommend SoCal Reptiles for anyone looking to purchase a high quality reptile at a great price and great service.

I hope to be able to have the opportunity to purchase another snake from Reid in the future - the only thing holding me back is my wife!

Oh yeah, I made sure to sport the sticker on my rear windshield that Reid sent me with my shipment, which states "I'd rather be Herping - SoCalReptiles.com"

Thanks Reid!
 
Just got in a really nice fire in a trade from reid! She looks great! Tongue flicking,nice and alert, no problems what so ever! She was packaged well and the transaction was smooth! Great guy to do business with! Looking forward to doing more business with you reid! Thanks!
 
Bought a pinstripe off him. The snake is out standing and Reid was willing to work with me. I would do business with him again any time. Thanks Reid
