Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I am in the process of purchasing some snakes from Kevin and Charlotte and would love to hear some feedback from you guys if you all have ever had dealings with them. So far the communication is really good, but would like to maybe hear from past customers. I have never purchased from them but I know their website has been there for a while.

Thanks to all that reply,

Mike C

I have bought a few chondros from them and all have been fabulous. In fact, I picked up a female a little while back that is such an aggressive feeder, she has tripled her weight.

Not only great animals but they keep in touch with you and help whenever they can. I just got some pics from Kev's recent trip to Costa Rica. Great people, you can't go wrong!

I have known Kevin and Charlotte for quite sometime now and they are nothing less than 100% honest about their animals. I have both sold to them and purchased from them and every deal has always gone smooth with the exception of me mis-sexing a couple of ATB's that I sold to them...well actually not sexing is more like it lol.

I just purchased 2 of their c.b.b. Paradox line amazons and they were represented as feeding on f/t from tongs an that's exactly what they do and have done three times since I got them in.

The packing job was very professional and so is their customer service!

You can't go wrong with these two Mike...first class all the way!!!

Thanks Matt, since this is my first dive into the Ball Python world, I wanted to really read up on who I was purchasing from. They have been great to deal with so far.

Hey Mike,

If this is about the 1.1 albinos...consider yourself a lottery winner! I am about 20th on the list to get the pair LOL! Great deal on them and they have some killer hets too...

Kevin has worked with Boids for a long time, working with many founding stock animals.
When you hear about they people who have been doing this for a long time, he is one of them. He loves his animals, does exceptional work, and travels to learn more. A true Herpetologist, not just a breeder!

I bought my Orange Crush ('86 X '89 line) Bolivian amarali, my 1.1 Western Costa Rican BCI (C.I.T.E.S.), and my 2.2 Panamanian BCI (C.I.T.E.S.) from him, and have only recieved the best help and animals you can ask for.

The Barnetts are great to talk to as well, I only work with Boas, and we are always talking about locales, subspecies, and captive breeding projects.

Kevin and Char are some of the greatest people I've gotten to work with since getting into this hobby. In the last year, I have purchased 2 green tree pythons, 2 peruvian boas, 2 normal balls, 1.1 het alb balls, 2 amazon tree boas from them, and can't wait till they get some new stuff in!

Also, their follow up care is great. I live near them, so when my biak reached a large enough size, they met up with me to probe it. When my little Aru prolapsed, they immediately had me bring it to them, fixed him up, gave some de-wormers, and kept him for observation for a few days...even offering an exchange despite my having the animal for over 4 months.

Plus, I have personally seen their facilities and they are top notch. Everything was very clean, neat, and well kept. They take enormous pride in their animals and their reputation.
