    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 recently bought some animals from Serpents Den and met Steve Markevich(serpents den) personally. Steve is a very down to earth friendly person, and represents his animals well. i went all through his store and looked at all of his animals (lots of them!!) and all the animals were kept nicely and there cages were very clean. the shop was very organised and i was very happy to see how well the animals are being cared for. it took about 7 hours to get to Steve's shop, but it was well worth it. it was a pleasure dealing with Steve, i recommend him highly.

I agree!

I purchased a pair of leucistic TX ratsnakes from him and the transaction went super smooth. Packaging was perfect and the animals arrived on time and were in great shape. I would not hesitate to purchase from him again.
 
Steve is a good guy, and local too(PA). Plus he has quite a selection, esp. of venomous...
 
Serpent's Den Excellent

I had a great transaction with Steve Markevich and Serpent's Den - I purchased a pair of snakes, and they were excellently packed, with well insulated heat packs still warm when the package arrived. When I unpacked the female I was surprised at her girth, and asked Steve about whether she might be gravid - he said he suspected that she might be, but because he hadn't witnessed any copulations didn't say anything about it in the ad. If she is, what a bonus! And if she isn't, still a great looking animal. Very pleased with Serpent's Den!

I made several purchases from Serpents Den and was always pleased with not only the animals that I purchased but also the overall cleanliness of the shop. It's well worth a drive to visit.
