    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....

Sean Bradley, Exotics by Nature...good guys!!

I've dealt with him and his Ex Celia Chen..... both of them were very professional.... They are very knowledgeable and their facility is immaculate...

You can tell alot about a business by how clean their cages are..... I distinctly remember Celia giving me a tour of their facility, and commenting on the complete absence of smell in one of their cage rooms........

Not anymore! There facility was dirty. They had a dead rodent in a water bowl that was pretty decomposed. I recall him saying that it didn't take long for that to happen. IDK

His rat room had rats on the loose and didn't look like it was cleaned in a while.

Stuff was strung out from front door to back of shop. Fish tanks were dirty and full of algae.

While I can't comment on the state of Sean's shop the day that you went, I can say that Sean has a very large collection of snakes. The shop probably houses in the neighborhood of 1000-1500 reptiles. Every day is cleaning day. You saw one dead rodent in a water bowl, and now the facility is "dirty".

On a second note, rodents are dirty animals. It doesn't take long for a rodent room to get stinky and look dirty, but I know for a fact that Sean's rodent room is cleaned every Wednesday.

Lastly, the dirty fish tanks, are because Sean is in the process of closing down the shop completely and moving his entire operation to his new facility (which already houses over half of the collection at this point). The fish tanks will not be set up at the new facility.

Sean has been in this business for a long time, and you will not find a bad guy post about him. Actually you will find alot of praise about his ethics and the quality of his animals. He has been a close friend for over 8 years now, and is a wealth of knowledge. He is very quick to share anything that he knows about anything, and has sold me numerous animals over the years that have never been less than amazing. I personally feel that the experience you described does not warrant a negative post, but it is your will to do so if you like. You bought a snake that you got to look at before purchasing, and nothing is wrong with the animal, but you didn't get the "info" you were looking for, and that makes for a negative experience. Exactly what "info" did you require on a Spider male?

Thanks Tim...... well put.......
 
Seems to have been some ill communication....

Hello Everyone,

I have contacted Mr. Norred regarding his post on here and I believe we have cleared up the issues. I have to admit that I have been a little hard to reach lately since we are moving and building onto our new facility. I always welcome compliments and constructive criticism about our practices. Please feel free to contact me with any concerns through the EbN website or by phone.

Thanks again for your business and good luck to you all!

Thanks for calling him Tim. He was able to clear everything up and give me the "info" I was owed. He had informed me his iphone was not received voicemails.
I wish to take back my "so so" as I put it TIM review. He is a decent guy that was very knowledgeable when my brother bought his snake. He does have very high quality animals free of disease and illness. His snakes also seem to be well fed seeing how my snake was peeing and pooing at the show as soon as taken out.

I am glad to hear that everything was taken care of. I didn't want to see Sean get a smear on his name, because there may have been a few things out of place at his facility the day you went. Having an operation the size of Sean's with only one employee is a daunting task. Sometimes things get a bit out of control, but they do get straightened out and cleaned up.

Happy endings are always good.
 
Every time I have dealt with Sean he has been more than helpful. Snakes I have received from him over the years have been helathy, and in great shape.
 
I just got a bumble bee poss het hypo from Sean that is amazing!! I wish I wasn't so far away so I could see his collection. I would recommend him to anyone looking for reptiles he was very helpful and friendly. he had no problem with letting me do payments great guy!!
