I would just like to publiclly thank Mike and his staff for a wonderful transaction. We ordered 1.2 of his Retics and they are absolutly fantastic!!! The 1.0 Albino we got just blew us away and everyone else at the Delta Dash office when we pulled him out of the bag. The 0.1 het we bought is very nice as well and the 0.1 Het Tiger we got is just nuts!!!! It is one of the lightest phase striped Tigers I have ever seen. Again I am very pleased and believe credit is due. Shipping and packing was first rate. Very friendly service and in a 24 hour period Mike himself called us over 5 times to discuss our order. I will get pics up when I can of these truely unique animals and once again Thank you very much Mike!!!

Yep Ill agree with that Mike is a great guy, and just has some awsome animals... Congrats on your purchase :D

BrianSmith Oct 29, 2003 02:10 PM

I agree. I got a beautiful 13 foot female het albino from him several months ago. She was/is very healthy and is currently gravid (by one of my EXTRA male lavenders). Beautiful snake too.

True, I have only gotten one snake from him so far,.. but I'd bet if I had gotten 80 snakes from him over the past 2 years that 80 would still be alive. The health and condition of the het speaks volumes for the rest, I'm sure.

As for service, Mke was first rate, answered all my annoying questions, and was very polite and patient. He even sent paperwork on her verifying that she is 100% het. The packaging on this shipment was very professional and about the best I've seen. I'm sure she slept the whole way, she was probably so comfortable, lol.

I'd reccomend him.

While it is funny, (unless it happens to you) I was by no means implying that this could or would happen if one were to order the albinos from Mike Wilbanks. Sorry if I gave that impression, I wasn't thinking. While I have only purchased from him once, I seriously doubt that he would ever made a "mistake" such as this. Actually,.. I doubt any honest and professional breeder would make a "mistake" such as this. It's just unheard of in high end business.

Why even bother posting it then? All your innuendos and insinuations are just becoming ridiculous.

It was just a little bit of ironic humor. I guess I just like to get the last laugh. (oops! was that insinuous too?? lol)

Life's short hun,.. stop and smell the roses once in a while.

I take pa-lenty of time to stop and smell the roses, life is good for me right now.

Seems you need to take your own advice (just a suggestion). Lately many of your posts contain veiled threats to "big breeders" in which you say you are going to expose them for all these dirty things they are doing. Just gets a bit old after awhile, that's all. Try being more positive, hun, I'm sure things will get better for you someday.

I am positive. And everything is WONDERFUL for me. It always is and always will be. I'm fine. And that issue is dead now. But clearly you don't know anything about it. There was a lot more to it than was on the surface. And lastly,.. and not to be rude,. just direct,.. why should I give a hoot if you get tired of something I post? lol. I don't and I never will, so go bug someone else that cares what you think.

Love and hugs xoxoxo

I'm not intending to "bug" you at all. I am just stating my opinion on this public forum, which is exactly what you do, correct? I guess it's ok for you to say whatever you want to but not for me? LOL trust me dude I could care less about you and whatever it is you represent. It's just me speaking out on this forum about something that has been bothering me for awhile (some of your posts). Don't worry, it is not very important to me, just my 2 cents. Sugar pie.

No problem. You can post to me all you want and disagree with all that I say. That's fine, sorry if I gave the wrong impression before. I wasn't intending to say you couldn't. I was just trying to emphasize that I don't care and it's lost on me. Nothing more.

"Sugar Pie", lol,.. I love it! ha ha. You're cute, I like your spunk.

Brian has worn out his welcome just about everywhere else. And even on here , he's nice guy one minute, p#&^k the next. But he likes to dogg on the 'big breeders", yet buys animals from them? Makes you wonder about people. Don't waste any more of your time Kelli.

MikeWilbanks Oct 29, 2003 10:01 PM

Thanks guys,
You guys were a pleasure to do business with. Good luck with the animals. Remember, I am always happy to help you with breeding and husbandry, so please don't hesitate to call. Let me know when you are ready to get the Albino female. Take Care.

No problem at all Mike, after some of the jokers I have been dealing with here lately it is a real breath of fresh air to deal with someone who not only cares about the customer but also cares about the animals and the whole point is not to make a quick buck. I know who I will be calling when I get a couple more grand and I need another SMOKER!!!! Albino!! Again my hats off to Constrictors Unlimited and Mr. Wilbanks, a Class Act all the way.

BrianSmith Oct 30, 2003 03:32 PM

I only bought one snake and he actually offered to ship Delta and when I asked how much shipping would be, he told me not to worry about it,. that he would get it. That's like almost a 100 bucks on a 60 pound snake! That isn't chump change. So I immediately got the impression that he wasn't about the money only. And that was very refreshing.

I had another breeder tell me via email that if I spent a lot of money with him that he would give me a 10% discount across the board. I was jazzed about that, to say the least. But when I got to his place and spent over 30k all the stuff was full price. I was a little baffled and disappointed. But he was generous enough to give me a complimentary baby ball python (normal phase). So that was like a 30 dollar bonus. I guess that was pretty cool.
