    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 have dealt with Mike twice. Both times was for a book purchase and he was excellent in every way. And what an excellent shipper. I finally managed to get my book free from all the packaging in about 15 minutes :) LOL! Seriously though real stand up guy!!

I just purchased two books from Mike through his eBay store. The shopping cart accidentally overcharged me approximately $2 for shipping instead of combining the purchases. I didn't even notice ... but Mike did, and sent me a Paypal refund for the surplus. He's definitely a class act, and I would recommend his business to anyone.
 
I know there isn't much I can add to this thread about Mike but I had to let everyone know about our deal. Mike is one truly one of the best guys I have dealt with. I purchased 1.1 Bloodred Corns from him and every step of the transaction was an absolute pleasure. Quick communication, easy to navigate website, meticulous packing, and AWESOME animals. Mike, you set the standard for the industry my friend! Thanks a million!
 
I must agree!! Mike is one awesome seller for sure!!!
 
Bought and Sold books, no herps. But everything was great and would not hesitate to get animals from him.
 
Mike is usually one of our neighbors at the Tampa show.
Over the years I have had the opportunity to observe both his animals and how he treats his customers. I am impressed by both.
Trust me. You can't go wrong in dealing with Mike.
I've recently picked up a pair of lavender corns and they're doing just great.
Without a doubt one of the good guys.
Keep up the the fight :)

Forgot to add.
He appears to have excellent taste in music:)

I purchased three redfoot torts from Mike a few months back and really can't say enough about the quality of the animals, or the excellence of Mike's customer service. I've had some wonderful experiences with a lot of folks, so I don't want to slight anyone, but Mike really is "above and beyond". Our transaction took a couple months to complete and Mike sent email updates weekly, sometimes daily on the progress of the hatchlings. I also had the opprotunity, to an extent, to "hand pick" the torts I wanted. And since they've arrived, any question I have had, Mike has answered immediately, even some questions not related to the torts. To say that Mike is "an asset to the Herp community" may sound cliche, but it is very, very true.

Thanks Mike! I'm looking forward to our next transaction!

I just had another transaction with Mike. This time I was the seller. It went smooth as silk. Thanks Mike!!
 
I just completed another transaction with Mike, this time for 1.1 Mexican Black Kingsnakes and 0.1 Ghost Corns. They arrived safely, with cold packs and extra insulation to safeguard against Phoenix's 115 degree heat. And all three animals are fantastic, especially the Ghost corn, incredible colours! Mike again proved himself to be a first rate breeder!
 
Once again a great deal with Mike.
Can't go wrong when dealing with him.
 
Just finished up a deal with Mike Greathouse and received a great looking female boa from him today.He is a great guy alround,great customer service,great looking animal(s) definatly will not hesitate to do bussiness with him again.Keep up the great work Mike and I will keep you posted on what this big girl may bring.lol:)Take care. :thumbsup:
 
*Waves to Mike* I have dealt with Mike twice now. Great Boas!!! I bought the beautiful 6 yr. male listed recently. The animal is used for lectures. A beautiful snake with a great disposition. Mike ships with care. And he stays in touch to make sure the animals arrived fine.

Great person to do business with. I adore my new addition to my Boa collection.

Thanks Mike.
 
Mike Greathouse, a Greatguy! :)

Bobby Hill & I recently made a transaction with someone local to, but not affiliated with, Mike Greathouse. The person whom we did the transaction with did not want to ship, he only wanted to do live pickup. Mike, who was not a direct part of the transaction, drove out on his time, picked up the two animals for Bobby & I, packaged them securely and safely in insulated boxes with heatpacks as needed, and drove to DHL to ship these two animals to Bobby & I.

I would like to thank Mike Greathouse for being a 'Great guy' and going out of his way to do this for us. Mike is an asset to the herp community. We need more people like him.

This is 110% true!! Mike is just awesome, a true good guy in our hobby.

Mike went out of his way to help us out. I owe you one Mike, if there is anything I can ever do to help you out, feel free to ask. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
 
Oh, I almost forgot, they were tegus. Of course. :)
 
Great Experience!

I just took delivery of two VERY nice western Venezuelan Boas from Mike. The animals are clean and stunning to behold! It especially impressed me that Mike was more concerned about the welfare of the animals than he was about getting the deal done. He checked the weather in my area and waited until the temps were acceptable to ship them. He packed them professionally and they were nice and warm upon arrival. I couldn't be happier.
 
I have had dealings with Mike Greathouse twice, he was happy to "fit" my needs with the right Boa. Transactions went very fast, he returns calls, answers questions and makes sure the animal arrives safely. He is a GREAT Boa breeder. I have a very large male Boa Mike produced, and this snake is fantastic. Size would scare many, but he was well handled. I have used this snake in lectures. Great choice!

Again thanks Mike.
