    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....

Hello Everyone-
I purchased an 05 baby Sumatran red blood from Tom Furr at a local reptile show. He was exceptionally helpful, probed the snake right in front of me, and followed up several times after the purchase to see how she was doing. I have even run in to Tom at the same show since then, and he has never failed to ask about how she's doing, and seems genuinely interested. He's one of the good guys in this business that truly loves the animals he sells, and truly cares about the customers he sells the to. I would recommend buying from him to anyone without hesitation.
 
Talked to him at Lee Watson's once and e-mailed him a couple of times regarding a couple of exceptional pastel ball pythons he had. Seemed to be a straight shooter.
 
Gotta Agree

Tom is one of the guys I look to talk to at every show I vend at or attend. He has impressed me as being a honest and knowledgeable herper. He also acts like this is a hobby and not a business so he is laid back and not a pressure sales kind of guy. All in all he is a pleasure to deal with.

Thanks Jason
 
I also just purchased a pastel and spider from Tomat the all animal expo. I was very impressed with the quality of his snakes and he seems to genuinly care about what he does and his customers. I also recieved no sales pressure from Tom either. I am very happy with my purchase and the overall atmosphere while purchasing.
