    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....

Wes Pollock a true good guy!!

mostly here on fauna
Most of you that are familiar with me know that I've had a very tough year! Due to the possible cross contamination of IBD, after many live liver biopsies, my morals and integrity wouldn't allow another person to go through what I've been thru and my complete collection of boa's had to be put down.

I had the pleasure of meeting Wes at NARBC in Anaheim where I fell in love with his false water cobras. At the time I never thought of owning one due to my large collection of boas. But I thought what the heck, I don't have any snakes, and now is the perfect opportunity to try something new. So I sent an email and asked Wes if he still had any of his hypo's left. Not only did he take a personal check from me, but he delivered them to my home last night and let me choose the ones that I wanted, picking out the ones that he thought were the best of the group.

Wes and I are not close friends, in fact we barely know each other, yet he took a chance with a check and drove quite a distance to my home to deliver these fabulous animals. I will be forever grateful............thanx for the great critters Wes!!
 
He is a good guy...

I bought a couple of those FWC from him also a few years ago. He bought them back from me when I needed to focus on other projects. I met him last fall and we had a good time at his cousin's house here in Austin TX.

Watchout for the feeding responces on those snakes.
 
I bought a VERY large albino boa from Wes sometime ago, and the professionalism was superb!! Wes is for sure one of the better guys in the herp business.
 
I have never had a business transaction with Wes, but would not hesitate to do so if he ever had anything I wanted. Wes is truly one oif the good guys.
 
Beautiful animals, Wes gave me the chance to hold a couple of his FWC, when the time is right I will buying from him. He is a good guy.
 
Wes is a good guy and will go out of his way to help a friend in eed. I wouldn't hesitate to buy an animal from Wes.
 
Wes is great.
I just bought a snake from him and t will be arriving Tuesday.
Easy to deal with and just look at the female that I bought.

Just got to say that Wes is a good person to buy from. I have been bugging Wes about a snake for over a month now. I finally bought a 50/50 female Cali King off of Wes and she is very nice. Wes was a pleasure to do business with. Sorry no pics, it would just make you all jealous. :dgrin:
 
Great Guy

I've dealt with Wes and met him at the Anaheim NARBC show in Sept. '05. I loved his animals on display (not in the biblical sense). Steve, that animal is really gorgeous and I concur with others the false water cobras Wes produces are really interesting and outstanding! I wouldn't hesitate to deal with Wes. He's truly a stand up guy.
 
I had another excellent purchase from Wes this year. I have to say, Wes has to be one of the most pleasant people I have ever met on this forum. Extremely professional and personable person to do business with. My kids really took a liking to him as well. The quality of his animals is outstanding and customer service is simply, second to none. I wouldn’t hesitate for one second to recommend Wes to anyone.
 
Thanks Dennis, again.

Your kids are neat, for young humans, and I am looking forward to seeing the jumps in growth they make as the shows pile up behind us.

Got to get The Salamander Kid into something not quite so slimy though.
 
YAAAAAYY Wes! I loved spending what little time I did with you at NARBC! You are so nice!

Too bad I'm not in the market for FWC, but I know that if and when I am, I can go to you!

Wes rocks!

(I love your hair, BTW!)
 
I don't know, after spending the weekend with Wes at the show, I think I may need to retract my previous post...
 
I have never dealt with Wes, but for years he has amused me on this forum. And what is a false water cobra? Off to google...
 
I received one of Wes's fabulous FWC yesterday, and am more than happy with the whole transaction, from Wes's knowledge and professionalism, to the animal itself, which is very healthy and beautiful....to Wes's patience with me while waiting for me to make sure I had everything properly set up, and then waiting out the screwy Iowa weather to finally ship him out to me.

Wes is one of the TRUE good guys, and I look forward to doing business with him again.
