    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 just wanted to post something positive. :D Around a week ago, I purchased a snake from Tim. Since it was the holiday season, his son was visiting for Thanksgiving. His son lived a few hours from me and since this was a BIG girl, we decided it would be best to pick her up from Tim's son's house. So the week went by and I talked to Tim on Saturday night. Unforseen events took place and his son was no longer able to bring the snake back with him on Sunday.

Since Tim made the deal and we were suppose to get this snake on Sunday, he decided to go on a road trip.

He called me up and asked me if I could meet him the next state over, about a 3.5-4 hour drive from me. He would drive 7 hours to meet me and give me the snake on Sunday.

So, on Sunday, I drove and met Tim. I picked up my snake and she is really nice. Currently, I have no complaints. She seems healthy.

Tim was a really nice man and it was great of him to drive over 14 hours (round trip) to give me the snake when our previous arrangements fell through. He could of made me take a day off of work and shipped her, which could have been more stressful on her, but he didn't.

I would do business with Tim again.

Tim is definitely a stand up guy! No worries doing business with him!
 
Definitely one of the Good Guys!

I have not had the pleasure of doing any business with Tim, but I have met and talked with him a number of times at the Ohio Reptile Shows. Tim is one of the most pleasant people I have had the pleasure of meeting, always eager to take the time to help out his customers. He's extremely honest and straightforward, overall a great guy to deal with.
On top of that, I must say that Tim has some of the nicest boas I have seen in person... actually... I am pretty sure the ARE the nicest boas I have ever seen in person. I look forward to when I have the space to start working with boas again, and when I do I will not hesitate to deal with Tim.
 
I just recently did a trade with Tim and things went very smoothly. He was always easy to communicate with and everything was just as described. I wouldn't hesitate to do business with Tim again. :)

Thanks!

Awesome! I just put down a deposit with him for a boa! I can't wait. He was a real nice guy for the time I spent talking with him.

I finally ended up getting a snake from Tim at the last Cleveland show. It's a butter BP that I got in a partial trade with some money thrown in as well. Tim told me he was feeding live, and although I tried F/T for the first few weeks without any luck, the guy takes live without hesitation.....just like Tim said. :)

Tims a good guy and I'm glad to say I have a snake from him in my collection.
 
While at the Ohio show last month, tim had a normal girl i liked. But she was eating live. He said he had some that took f/t off the floor for him. He was also upfront about the fact that he didn't raise these girls. The girl i picked out not only takes f/t off the floor, they don't even have to be pre-heated. She looks for more food two days after a meal. I also purchased a spider male from Tim about a year ago as a hatchling. Got him switched over to f/t. He's one of my most consistent eaters.
 
Yea, from how much I talked to him he seems real honest! I'll update on how everything goes when I pick him up.
