    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....

Has anyone done bussiness with South mountain reptiles? if you have are they good? i want to know because i might buy from them.
 
I have known Don for many years.. He is one of the Good Guys. Buy from him you can not go wrong.
 
You are not likely to find anyone with better animals, more knowledge about them, or more willingness to share that knowledge than Don. In addition, I have had customers tell me that not only was he extremely patient with their questions, but bent over backwards to help if there was ever a problem. It takes a lot of work to get, and keep, a reputation like that!

I have some of his animals in my own collection and they are among my best specimens.

If you are close, that is better still so the animals won't have such a long trip. Don does some of the Tx. shows, I believe. Or at least he used to. Perhaps you can pick them up in person at a show and avoid shipping completely.
 
I haven't purchased from him, he was sold out of what I wanted but I would not hesitate to buy in the future.

I've emailed him and it was all good.

And he does have some bitchin' stuff.
 
Can't say much more than these - other than to reiterate that he is a class act all the way. I've made a purchase with him - even had a small problem which might have been due to shipping, or my early inexperience with young snakes - and he dealt with it without batting an eye. I am so thankful for his good work - solid business ethic and great animals.

A totally, wonderful man and herper.
 
I have a pair of miamis from his striped motley miami boy

Don brought them all the way down to FL when he attended the Daytona Expo last year, so I got to pick them up from him in person :)
 
Don is great!

I have never done business with Don Soderberg directly, but I have had some of his animals in my collection, and they were some very nice snakes. Many of my friends have done business with Don, and they all have nothing but respect and admiration for Don. Even though I have never actually purchased from him, he has always been more than generous with his time anytime that I have contacted him in the past. Honestly, I can't say enough good things about Don other than that he is one of the few that you just do not have to ever worry about. Simply put, he is the best!
 
Great animals
I have bought some Miami mottleys from him a couple of years ago , and both females are gravid including the one female with no black on her.
Shipping and service could not have been better
 
Just received 1.2 Leucistic Texas Ratsnakes from Don. They were packaged professionally and look beautiful! Thanks, Don!

Just got a couple more snakes from Don (WS yellow ratsnakes). In addition to having the coolest business cards ever, he's got awesome animals, puts cool info/suggestions on shipping containers and receipts, and is great to talk to/learn from. All around one of the best.
