the good guys note

[DISCERN]

Here is my good guy list. These guys are top notch in both having quality animals and who they are as breeders/people to deal with.

JOHN GINTER-breeds locality pits such as Stillwater hypo bulls and Kingsville TX red bulls, also northern pines, black pines, etc.

DON SODERBERG-corns of course and also very nice greeri, western hogs, etc.

JOHN MELTZER-locality pits, from Burlington County northern pines to hypo Alabama northern pines...also corns, kings, bulls, locale sonoran gophers.....

DON SHORES-intense high contrast black and white cal kings, albino and hypo splendida, etc.

GREGG FEASTER-several pits as well as boas.

SHANNON BROWN-pits, including huge monster 277 Tx bulls, and a mass of hondurans.

JOHN CHERRY-a little bit of everything with a huge collection of killer locale pits.

JASON NELSON-the biggest selection of San Diego and Sonoran gophers I have ever known of.

These guys rule and have complimented my hobby beyond comprehension.

Take care!
Billy

This is my first post to the BOI, but I want to publicly acknowledge 3 of the many good guys I have had dealings with this year.
My son died in September leaving me with a large collection of ball python morphs. At the time of his death he had a few outstanding deals involving several thousands of dollars for animals he had paid for and had not received. After extensive investigation I have learned there is no law requiring a seller to refund the money, only to produce the product that was paid for. I have received a few more snakes since he died that I did not want.
2 breeders contacted me to let me know they had my son's money and had not shipped the animals. They wanted to refund his money. I would have never known they had received payment and had not shipped, therefore these 2 guys are as honest and as good as they come.

#1 Joe Dembinski, what a great guy, he is a saint.
#2 Will Leary, a kind and honest person.

My son received a rack from Freedom Breeder 2 days after he died and Jesse Sira Jr. arranged return shipping and refunded my son's money. I know this was a custom built rack and he did not have to do that. This action demonstrates a top-notch buisness with great ethics.

I have talked and e-mailed with so many people in the herp business trying to learn as much as I can about my son's buisness now that I am the owner of so many snakes and I must say that I have been blown away by the kindness so many of you have extended to me.

This BOI has really helped me in knowing who to trust, so thank you Webslave for providing such a great service free of charge.

[mike31]

special k reptiles,

I have to say i'm surprised nobody has mentioned tim koppenhofer of special k reptiles,tim is definitely a top notch guy and one of the nicest guys you'll want to meet,the first time i met tim and his son eric you could tell by the way they talked about snakes that they love everything about them,i thought it was pretty cool to see a father and son get so excited when talking about breeding their snakes and future breedings,tim always has nice animals and is very nice to do business with.
