    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 completed a smooth and efficient transaction with Tony -- coast-to-coast. He answered all my questions, was forthcoming with background information on my purchase, and was in constant communication when FedEx had a little hiccup. Good guy, i would definately do business with him again.

I'm so glad to see the good guy posts on the BOI ramp up! Yeeaaah for the good guys!

Please give the rest of us Tony's website or contact information, so other folks can take a look at what he has and see if they want anything.
 
To the best of my knowledge, Tony does not have a website. He pretty much works through the classifieds. I have known him for several years and he is a stand up guy and a definite credit to the industry. You can always buy with confidence and rest assured that the animals will probably look better than advertised.
 
I had one of the best ,most outrageous too good to be true deals with Tony , guy is a winner all the way around.
 
Snakes Alive!

I recieved my coastals today from Tony. They were even nicer than I expected. Tony is quick to share his knowledge about the reptiles he keeps and breeds and is an all around good guy. I hope Im on top of the list for his next batch of babies.
 
I bought some Coastal milks from Tony last year. Not only were they great snakes, but Tony helped me out a lot after the sale. He gave me a lot of feeding tips regarding Coastals, etc. I would highly recommend him.
 
Tony Dongarra great guy...

I've had two transactions this year with Tony... The first started two years ago when I inquired about some hypo coastals... Long story short it took two years to produce them and he contacted me to let me know... I can only rave about the superior quality of those animals. Confident in his practices I jumped on the chance to acquire my first goini from him... The animals again were simply outstanding! Top quality and ALL established! Took all the fun outta rearing small milks n' kings! A 'credit to the industry' for sure...

I have just completed a great transaction with Tony.
I purchased several hypo coastal milk snakes. I would do business with tony any time! tom harbin
 
I purchased a pair of snakes from Tony, and one came in with a few kinks that were not noticed before shipping. Although the snake was in otherwise perfect health and was absolutely gorgeous, I did not wish to use a kinked animal for breeding. Tony went above and beyond to make sure I was a happy customer. We agreed on a solution, and he was more than helpful through it all!

Thanks again Tony! I won't hesitate to buy from you again! :D
 
Good Guy!!!

My first time doing business with Tony and not my last! :thumbsup:Answered all my questions. And the transaction went as smooth as silk.

October 2016: Tony continues to provide great customer service and beautiful animals. Hypo coastals are still not common, and I was looking for a male with specific characteristics. Tony had what I was looking for, and even called me to confirm delivery details once his little guy was ready to ship. His coastal is remarkably calm for a hatchling milk snake, and exactly what I was hoping for. The packaging was above and beyond anything I've seen anyone else use. I would be happy to do business with Tony again.
