Laura, I just received the dragon. She looks great!!! she's in really good condition. I soaked her in warm water, seemed to like it. Well thanks for everything. If you have a male from a different blood line, I would be interested. Joe G.

They are great, they have so much personality!  And are gorgeous!  Thanks! :o) And I'll continue to keep you posted on her if you like. Lacey

Laura, they arrived this morning about 9:15, and they are are in perfect shape.  They all seem to want out of the containers ASAP.  I tried putting the big albino in the shipping box, but the next thing I knew he was looking at me over the top edge.  So, he had to go back in the container...    Thanks again.---Kenny

Hi Laura, Just wanted to drop you a note and let you know the baby is doing great!  She is active and eating well.  She eats everything you put in with her.  I would say she has shaken off the shipping stress completely.  We have not come up with a name yet, but will let you know as soon as we do. 
I will keep you updated, Ginny

Hey Laura, wanted to let you know the hypo female is doing great, pounding two adult mice every 5 days. Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner but work's been hectic lately and I have a lot of extra hours at the gym. Thanks for a great snake, I will let you know when I produce some babies from her so you can check out her offspring. Good luck on all of your endeavors, Morgan

Laura, I received the little girl today...and she looks great!  Thanks for sending me such a beautiful gecko at such a great price.  If her colors continue to improve she will be a real eye-catcher.  Best of luck with your projects and keep me in mind when you have colorful albinos you are trying to sell. thanks, Paul Allen

Hey Laura, Got Ice and he is "NICE"! Already took over his new cage and started pigging on all kinds of treats. Thanks Bill

Diamond is here and doing just fine, he is shedding and his head is a pretty lemon yellow right now....he had a soak and now he is basking.  Thank you Laura for all your help :o) Tammy Aldrich (or Greg), Secretary, www.pmufoalquest.com

Hi, Laura!!  Well, I got your e-mails yesterday and the package arrived this morning around 9:30.  The lizard made it just fine, and is in beautiful condition.  Needless to say, I am very pleased with this animal.  I thoroughly enjoyed this transaction with you, thanks again for the pictures and working this out with me, and I wish you the best.  Take care!! Sincerely, Jeff

She made it! Luv her! I was worried at first because according to tracking, she was on her way to Gainesville which is no where near me. Maybe in the future I'll buy some leopard geckoes from ya. Thanks again, Wendy
 

Hi laura! I just received the female ball and she looks great.  About to shed it looks like.  She was very timid and "ball-like" but she will do fine.  I enjoyed doing business with you. thank you. martin scheiber

Laura, How cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute!! Gods, she's/he's so perfect!! Now, if I'm remembering my Leo Gecko colors right, the dark patterning stays the way it it is, because she's Jungle, right? Gods, thanks Laura! So cute!!! Gillian

Laura, We love the babies !  They were a little pale at first but  I am too when I fly. We were ready with a heating pad and they warmed right up. They were active all afternoon. Now that I'm home with Texas ( her name ) should I still soak her ? I hope she'll eat soon . We offered crickets and meal worms but they were way too excited to eat . You are right about the color . The 2 are very orange , even the dotted one is pretty bright. We are very pleased. I saw your add for the bearded dragon. I really want one but don't really have the space they require. Thanks so much.... Carmen and "Texas"

HI there.  Just got the little girl.  She was cold, but I soaked her and she perked right up.  She's basking in her new enclosure, and I'll give her some crickets once she has time to acclimate.  The color on her is even better than the picture showed -- she's beautiful.  Thanks Kris Stroup

I got her, and she is beautiful!!  Thank you so much!  She was a bit cold, but still lively.  She's soaking right now.  You definitely have my recommendation on any sale you need.  Thanks again. Heather Cullen

Hi Laura, I did receive the ball pythons.  They look well.  I also probed the snakes and got a male and a female.   Maybe I'll get lucky and get something out of them.  Thanks for snakes.  Take care. David p.s- If you ever want to get rid the other ball python and its a female, let me know.  Thanks again.

Hey Laura, Nice little ice storm, no power, very happy (as well as the cold blooded animals in the house) for the newly purchased generator.  Anyway, she arrived just fine and early in the day.  She seems to be adjusting well to her new enclosure.  Sorry for not getting word to you yesterday, and thank you so much - she's BEAUTIFUL! Best regards, Diana

He is beautiful!  I spent almost an hour with him, gently warming up the water until he almost lulled to sleep.  Meanwhile, I heated up a large rock on warm in the oven, put it in his aquarium and suspended a basking lamp over it.  He ate right away (I picked him some really young kale from the garden while he was bathing). My kids are going to flip when they come home!  Louis didn't even know we were even shopping around.  He's the one who really wanted one.  Anyway, thanks so much! Beth Wallace

Hi there.  The little guy arrived a little while ago.  I have him all warmed up and settling into his new cage.  He looks great. Thanks a lot Kris Stroup

Laura... Hey it's Paco.  well the Leos made it all right!  Thanks again and look forward to doing business in the future.  Later, Paco.

-- and all look great!  Thanks Laura! Stasi
The boa arrived just fine. He's a good looking snake.
Thanks a lot, Clay

Laura , Hi there. Hope all is well and you were happy with the boas. I really like the boa you sent , clean as I've seen. I'm really looking forward to seeing him after shed. He's in a humid box as we speak. Thanks for agreeing to selling us the Hog if you ever need to sell. Stay in touch and keep us mind for future offerings. Let me know if you would like ref's. Tom kingsnake ID = tommyboy

Ms. Vanalyne, I wanted to let you know, the female made it here in good condition. She is eating and drinking already. Roger L. Coffey

By the way...I've been meaning to tell you and keep forgetting, but I really like that female you sent me. I normally don't think of them much as pets and usually don't handle them much...but for some reason she's kind of growing on me. She's going to be absolutely spectacular when she fills out! After we get this deal straight...I may be interested in buying some more of your blood if she is representative of your stock. Thank you again. --Stacy

HI Laura, I just received your cresteds today and I am very happy with them if you have any more cresteds or any other types of geckos please e-mail me back ASAP.

Laura, They're here!!:) Oh my gosh they are so beautiful. They are just starting to get used to their new surroundings. It is so exciting! They are so much better looking in person! they looked great in their pictures, but their colors are so much more magnificent now that I can see them. I was so nervous about buying them over the internet. You helped so much by answering all of my questions and keeping my nerves calm. I am so glad now that I bought both of them!  Their colors really compliment each other. It will be exciting to see what they produce! I will keep you posted and if anyone is in need of any balls, I will send them your way. Thank you so, so much! Bonnie and family 01-25-05                                          Your advice worked great! We switched them to mice and they went for them. The are doing great! Eating, shedding, growing. We love them! thanks so much! Bonnie 03-27-05 UPDATE

HI Laura, I just wanted to send a picture of 1 of my holdbacks from the clutch from the Female I bought from you last year.  They were born the first week of August!  Sultan just came out of Winter Shutdown since Oct. 3rd!  He is having a hard time waking up..LOL!  They are AWESOME lizards !  Thanks Laura again!

Hey! They (the high-end Leo group) arrived just fine, a bit cool, but fine. J Thanks again! Sales Department Top Shelf Exotics  02-24-05

Hey there, I just wanted to check in about the leos. The male seems to be doing ok. He chowed down on a couple of wax worms last night. I haven't tried crickets yet, but I'll give it a shot tonight. The hypo female laid her eggs this morning. Unfortunately, one of them appears to be infertile, but the other one looks good. I'm looking forward to some more clutches out of her. Well, I just thought I would check in and let you know that they are in their new homes and appear to be doing well. Thanks again, and I hope to do business again in the future! -David 02-26-05

Hi Laura, The "baby" (50% het F Ball) has just arrived!  A little cool, but warming up nicely.  She's starting to roam around and get comfortable with her "travel" cage. Thanks, Laura. I'll keep you updated on her progress. Kare 03-09-05

The racing stripe male is doing great. He eats mealworms like it's going out of style. He's gaining weight and growing rapidly, so I think he'll be just fine.!
Well, thanks in advance for your help! -David 03-28-05


Hi Laura, The animals arrived this morning at 9:00. They are beautiful. Thanks. It was
a pleasure to do business with you. Jason Haygood 03-01-05

eating like pigs. I forgot to ask you before, what line of albinos do these
come from? Thanks, Jason Haygood 03-14-05 UPDATE

Laura - Spike is doing pretty good (despite the shippers losing him for 4 days).  He's still a bit thin (from his ordeal), but eats well. He was attempting to breed with our smaller female twice yesterday - so he feels good enough to do that! Warm Regards, Brett Folkman Senior Director, Business Planning & Analysis 03-28-05                            Laura - just wanted to let you know one of my females laid 17 eggs three days ago. It was her first time laying and the eggs are pretty small, but it appears there are 12 good ones. Hopefully Spike did his work and they are fertilized. I'll let you know when the hatch. Spike is doin well and seems to like living with the two females. He gets taken out a lot to just run around and play Warm Regards, Brett Folkman  - UPDATE 06-06-05

They arrived in great shape at my clinic at 9:45 this morning.  I love them.  Whoever needed to shed in the "top bag' (small het pair) did so in transit. Can keep you updated if you wish. thanks! Ted 06-07-05

Yehaaa she's pretty....... Safe and sound in her new home what bedding did you use? Aspen, newspaper etc... She's exploring her new sweater box. Does she take live mice ??

Thanks for checking in!! Are you going to Tinley next weekend?? Talk to you soon! Tom UPDATE 09/30/2005

Hi Laura, this will be quick, My computer has been down for almost 24 hours and I have many emails to respond too. But I wanted to let you know that the two I got from you are eating and acting  like they are home.  Thanks for everything and I'll get back to you soon. Deb 07-01-05

Just to let you know I received her at about 11:30 this morning.  Everything was fine...nice packaging...I like the box within a box...I have to use that sometime...anyway, I appreciate everything...I have her soaking right now before I get her in with the rest of my collection.  No offense to you or anything just standard procedure for me...hope you have a great day...thanks Alex Quiles, A & J's Snakes 07-14-05

Good morning, She arrived about an hour ago, and all is good. She's doing fine, a little scared rght now, but that's to be expected since she was shipped. But she looks great, and healthy. I just wanted to let you know she arrived safe and sound! Thanks again, Jim Coan 07-29-05

Laura,
What is with the barbeque sauce on the inside of the box?  Did you have barbeque yesterday and not send me any?  They arrived in excellent shape. I saw their birth date on the cards, as you know they will only be about 18 months this season so I don't think they will breed this season.  They are very young as far as breeding.  Don't worry I will try them out but I don't have high hopes.  Most of my breeders are at least 2 years old and most start out at 2.5 years.  Anyway take care, and keep in touch.  Terry Forrest 08/24/2005

Laura, They arrived at 11:40 and they are both a little shaken up but other wise fine. I would have e-mailed you sooner, but my wife was a sleep and I didn't want to wake her. I want to Thank You for selling me such wonderful animals. It was a pleasure doing business with you. Tell your youngest daughter Thanks as well for signing the cups. Marty Hartman 11/04/2005

Hello Laura - Just wanted to update you on the hypo i got from you, he is doing really good and eating like a pig. I took a couple pics of him the other night and thought i would send you one so you can see him.

Laura, They made it fine!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome animals!!!!!!!!!!! I love 'em! The heatpack was still warm and Mike heat gunned it when he opened it and it was 90. They were both warm! No worries there! The male.......is he a little Spitfire??? LOL!!! He looks it! He was really red! Gorgeous animals!!!!! He is stunning really! The little female is so darn cute! I can't wait to watch her grow up! I know you didn't want to get rid of him! I wouldn't have either. I will however, give you some of his offspring when that time comes! I plan to use him on one (or both lol) inferno girls! I think those would make some really nice babies!  He will always be here with me! So will she! Both are very very nice animals. They add a lot to my collection! Thank You!!!!!!!! Mike and Tracy @ JungleStruck 12/12/06

Hi I picked her up two hours ago she is fine there was still some heat left in the pack she looks great too. sorry the shipping was my fault it was a typo. Thanks again Jason 01/04/07

Laura, she is incredible, her oranges are internse and her disposition is really nice. My girlfriend loves her and in the end that is that matters. I think she would produce some great sunsets. Thanks again. Adam 01/04/07    UPDATE: Just wanted to let you know she is doing great and has acclimated well in a really nice stack system with the whole works. She is having fun with a  nice hypo male on her right now and although I have not seen any locking up I am hopeful! It has really been awesome coming home and see all this snake courting behavior in my reptile room. He came with a really nice sized pastel red line that he had been breeding for months. She (Hogg) has really lightened up and has a really nice personality something in her face is really peaceful. So thanks again and I hope you are doing well. Sincerely, Adam 01/29/07

Laura, Sorry I didn't get back 2 u sooner! I'm swamped with homework :-( The female got here just fine. She was really animated when I took her out lol She looks very very alert to say the least.

Talk to you soon, Rogelio  02/08/07

She looks good (Head-spot Ball), she was nice and warm, and very active and friendly right out of the box...she even tried to make a nest in my hair, lol. Do you have an account on Fauna? I'd like to leave you some positive feedback if you do. Thanks again, Cathy 04/18/07

Laura, they (66% Het sharp) are great, in their own cages and being the curious snakes that snakes are.  Looking for a way out, and drinking water. I will try a small mouse in a few days. You are welcome to come see them anytime, and let me know if you want to "off-load" any other females (boas or pythons). Thanks, Scott 05/19/07

Laura,  Just wanted to let you know i got the pair in right on time, and they look good! not too feisty, either! I put them straight into quarantine housing without messing with them too much, and i'll keep you updated as they come along! The boxing was fine, and their temps were good, so nothing wrong there. They were so cute coming out of the bag, i couldn't help taking a few shots! Thanks! Bryan 06/06/07
