    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....

Inquiry Tony Haas - Pikes Peak Pets

Violently? I think mostly cohrs is against anyone that can't care for their animals and I can certainly see how their views would be tainted against breeders and dealers but I still think that they may be able to give you some information.
I think I would approach it as a question via the internet....
(I'm thinking of purchasing a ball python and would like to know if you can tell me anything about this guy. ) Something like that.
 
Have you had any dealings with them? I used to volunteer with them until I told the director they were wrong on a snake ID then I got "fired" because of my "public breeding program"

They've also been asked not to have a table at any local show because they used to go around to each vendor and ask if they had a license to breed reptiles and generally bother everyone... eventually people refused to get tables at the show unless CORHS was not allowed to attend.

Believe me, they are not our friends
 
I can confirm what Sarah is saying. A few years ago, when they were using the name Colorado Reptile Rescue, they had a trio of Blue Beauties for adoption.
A customer of mine, who had purchased some of my Blue Beauties that I had produced inquired about adopting that trio in order to further diversify his bloodlines.
There was, at the time at least, no mention of their stance on captive breeding on their site. He paid the $30 application fee ($10 per snake), and once they realized he intended to use them as breeders he was flatly denied the adoption request.
Their exact quote to him was
CoRR does not support the breeding of reptiles when there are so many who need homes, regardless of the species or rarity
Click to expand...

It took him 60 days and the threat to have the credit card charge disputed to get his $30 back.
I applaud the vendors who refused to do shows with them. I for one would not want to share show space with a group so obviously opposed to what I do.
