I've only purchased snakes online once and that was from Don at South Mountain Reptiles. I'm sure there are other's (Kathy Love, and Rich Zuchowski for example) out there that are great too but I don't have experience with them. All I can tell you is that Don is great to deal with!

He has excellent customer service!!!! He will always make time to talk to you about your purchase. I will forever recommend him to anyone looking to make an online purchase and I plan to buy more from him in the future.

I've devoured his site numerous times. I really like what he has, its good to hear from someone who has dealt with him. What's your favorite one and what do you plan to buy from him in the future?

As to what I'm planning on getting from Don in the future. I don't know for sure. There are so many on my wish list. I know he doesn't advertise that he breeds black milksnakes, but I would like to get a few of those. As for cornsnakes, probably some stripes or motleys.

My favorite of the snakes I got from Don?

Probably my male bloodred, he is just so red already, and not even a year old. See...

Beaufiful Bloodred. I have a great little young Bloodred from Kathy Love, will try to get some pictures on here tonight, he is really beginning to show his colour.

I have ordered a breeding pair of baby bloodreds from South Mountain Reptile, they should be ready by the end of summer or early fall. Seeing yours gives me great hope. That is my favourite morph.

I've bought from Rich Zuchowski (Serpenco) and Kathy Love (CornUtopia).

Both of them were excellent in their one-on-one service with you about your order and any needs or questions you might have after you get your snake. And both of them sent me beautiful animals that are feeding well and growing like weeds.

I would like to have ordered something from SMR, but when I e-mailed about what he had left..it wasn't what I was looking for. Maybe another time perhaps.

I think any of the main corn snake breeders with webpages would be fine. It just all boils down to what morphs you are most interested in. Each breeder has their speciality in one or a few morphs. =)

Don, at SMR has some of the most awsome corns, and his service is even better.
