    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....

Hi There.
So today, my fiancee and I went to the Oaks PA show, and had an awesome transaction with Tim at Special K Reptiles. We hesitated to go, as we had never been to this show and were unsure as to how good it was. Truth be told, it wasnt that great. BUT, Tim made the trip worth it. We brought some snakes to trade, and Tim was very open to trading with us. I got exactly what I wanted, and Tim was very friendly, and easy to deal with as well as nice to "shoot the ball python breeze" with. I was very happy with the quality of the animals I saw at Tim"s table, and very happy with the two snakes we took home. Regardless of people who have posted they have had negative experience with him, I would definately shop with him again, and look forward to seeing him at our fave reptile show in Hamburg.
 
I just did a deal with Tim and couldn't be happier. He went above and beyond while I waited for my permits. The boa I received was way better in person and in amazing health. I highly recommend him as he is a great example of a stand up good guy.
 
Also had great deals with Tim in the passed both trading and purchasing all around great guy. If there was an issue he went above and beyond to make it right.
 
I just completed a trade with Tim at the Hamburg PA show. He was fair, very up front about his animals, and an all around great guy to talk to and deal with. I would definitely do business with him again.
 
My wife and I just bought a pair of snakes off of Tim today at the Cincinnati show. This was a pair that we looked at almost a year ago at the same show and Tim remembered who we were and what the deal was. He is the only reason we even went to the show. He goes above and beyond and his animals are top notch. He is one of the few breeders we will deal with and plan on getting a few more next month
 
Tim K great guy

I have also had very good experiences with Tim. He is a great guy and very easy to deal with. We have done multiple transactions in the past and I would not hesitate to do more in the future. Tim is honest and has high quality snakes.
