    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....

So I figure the old thread wasn't up to standards, and it wasn't so I took the moderator's advice and opened a new one with the link to the old thread.

I know this is a VERY old thread but I want to clear up a wrong that I made many years ago. I was the one that started this thread back in 2003. I was only a year into the whole world of herps and very nieve. It was much later that I found out, it WAS NOT Walter who I got a parasite from. But at the time I didn't know and he was the last one that I got animals from...so I made an assumption and look where that got me. I have been out of the loop for many years now as I have joined the army and I am currently deployed. I recently started rebuilding my snake collection and ran into Walter who happens to have some corns I am interested in. Since we have been talking, I have been able to clear the air and I wanted to make it official by posting this thread.

I just want to say that I am sorry for the slander and I take full responsilbility for not giving all the facts or looking further into the situation. I actually had completely forgotten about this post until Walter was so kind to bring it up.

Let me tell you though, Karma does come around. Because of a breeding loan I did before I got Walter's animals, I picked up crypto in my corn collection. I had no idea what crypto was at the time and never thought twice about it. But I will tell you that I lost most all my collection to it and what did make it, later died anyways.

I also want to ad that to this date, all my animals are clean and I am very picky who I purchase from and do breeding loans with. Plus I use quarentine of at least three months now before doing anything with new purchases.

So again, Walter, I sincerely apologize for my past mistake and for me being so nieve back then. I will assure you that I have done my reaseach.

Just wanted to drop back on here and re hit my point. I just did a transaction with Walter...all went smooth and working with him was a very pleasant experience. I was glad that I was able to right a wrong and purchase animals from him. I will stay in touch and let you know how they do for me in the next couple months. But I have NO doubt that I will be pleased with them in every way!

Thanks again Walter and thanks for the chance to make things right!
 
I just ordered 2 from him this evening! Can't wait to get them :) Walter has been super nice in my emails so far and I have no doubt that I will be getting gorgeous, healthy snakes.
 
Walter is a great guy. I have purchased various corn snakes from him, and they all were top quality animals! Each one was a superior example of the morph. And he was very easy to work with.
 
I just received my 2 babies from Walter! They are very lovely! I had to get up early and come sleep on the couch so I'd hear Fed Ex, Lol!

I also found Walter to be exceptional to work with, very timely replies to my emails.

Thank you Walter!!!
