Just thought I would express my appreciation for the great service I recieved from Ruben. I just recieved my snake today and I must say it was perfectly packaged with the proper bagging and air flow. The snake is exactly what I was expecting and I am more than happy with her overall. He was flexible enough to work with me on a pay plan and was more than eager to offer advice and answers to any questions I had. I would definitely deal with him again and I would recommend him to anyone. If you have any further questions or would like proof feel free to PM me here.

Responding to email notices you receive.
**************************************************
In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

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.....

Addendum: 01/10/2026
=====================
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....

My name is Bob Peters.I hail from western Maryland, the stomping grounds of Peter Kahl and Ralph Davis. I purchased a double het for albino and stripe 11 month old male boa from Ruben a few weeks ago to breed with an albino x argentine female of the same age bred by Peter Kahl ( obviously this is a future breeding project ). Obviously I was looking for a trustworthy source to buy a legitimate 100% het to go with this expensive female and Ruben not only supplied me with the animal but also full documentation on the animal. The male is a screamer for a het already displaying hues of pinks, oranges and light tans. And he eats like a champ. I've bought animals from all the big name boa breeders and this one ranks right up there with the best of them. He's easy to talk to and easy to get hold of. He even held the animal for me for 2 weeks without asking me for a deposit. A good guy to work with. If you're looking for a high dollar boa don't be afraid to try Ruben. He's cooperative and 100% trustworthy. I can't say that about everyone I've bought from and I've been doing this for 15 years.

I just completed a deal with Ruben and couldn't be happier!
Ruben was upfront, honest and willing to work with me from the beginning, and it didn't stop once he had my money!
He helped me with a payment plan and shipped the animals asap yet with great care and concern.
I received the animals and they actually are better than I expected!
Great guy, great animals and I look forward to doing business with him again.
I would recommed others to do so as well!
Buy with confidence!
Thanks much, Joe Rollo - BciJoe

This morning I recieved a very nice set of 66% het for albino baby boas from Ruben.
I will applaud him on not only his communication skills, but by being very helpful.
He consented to letting me pay a deposit for these two and then pay the balance 2 weeks after.
They came nicely warm, healthy looking and alert. On time and as described.
Thank you ruben.. we will do business again, I'm sure.
