    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.....

    =====================


    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 wife and I are thinking of maybe getting a boa or two from this website but can't find any info on it. We're nervous enough just paying for animals online and having them mailed to us, so we want to know how this company holds up here on the boi. Can anyone tell us if they are very reputable/trustworthy. If anyone has had dealings with smoky mountain reptiles before then please let us know. It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!
 
Kevin DeBusk owns Smoky Mountain Reptiles I believe. I've never bought from him because he usually doesn't carry what I'm interested in but he does have a very good reputation here locally. I don't believe you'll have any problems with him. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
 
Thank you for your honesty. I'm just very skeptical, mostly because we've never bought an animal online before, but the site does have EXACTLY what we're looking for: baby aneries and a moonglow boa. We really want to buy them but we've decided to wait until we hear more positive feedback about them. Thank you Bobby. Anyone else? We would greatly appreciate it. Our anniversary is coming up and we're getting boas for each other as gifts.
 
Thanks for posting that link bobby. I think I've read enough to make a decision. I've sent Kevin an email. Thank you!!
 
We'll it is surprisingly warm right now (for Alaska anyways) mid 40's which is rare for this time of year in Alaska. After Tuesday though the temperatures start plummeting again, and will stay in the 20's for well over a month or two. I don't know what the weather is like in other parts of the country (like for Kevin) but I would hope to get the animal here before the nasty Alaska weather starts back up next week and for our anniversary. But the animal's safety does come first, and I don't know how the shipping works anyways so I guess we'll see once I hear from Kevin. Thanks again.
