    Re: Has anyone ever bought from Ralph Davis?

    I think it also has to do with the fact that he produces thousands of snakes...or atleast hundreds every season..If he had to go through and say alright this snake is $XX and this snake is $XX with a picture for each one it would take FOREVER and for someone who has that many snakes in their collection to care for, and that many feeders to produce each week, along with running a construction business(or whatever he does..) I'm sure he would rather just pick up the phone hear what the customer wants and instantly quote a price instead of spending hours and hours and hours putting up prices for each and every snake he produces on his website...That being said I agree that it would be easier for the shopper to see a price tag on every snake but he does it the way that is easy for him..he's been doing this for a long time, I'm sure it works just fine.

    Ok fine maybe not list a price for every single snake but have it by the clutch then.
    Like this:

    For this Clutch prices range from $650 to $7500

    Atleast then you would have an idea? My point is you dont know anything from looking at his page and if that works for him Great!!! But for me I will just pass on by and I'm sure I'm not the only one

    Ralph Davis is a great reptile breeder. That is all there is to it, you don't get to where he is today without knowing what you are doing.

    That being said for being one of the "Big Name" breeders he has one of THE WORST websites I have ever seen in my life.

    BHB is bigger then Ralph, and they have a great website. So I can't say that Ralph just has so many animals its to hard to price them all.

    I think its just Ralph's personal style, he would rather someone talk to him directly about his animals opposed to just shopping online.

    Well I like on his website how he goes into such detail on all of his clutches except for his Top Secret which is understandable. His videos are cool. Pics are awesome...

    But you would think that its just a hobby and not a business on the way the website is setup. On one page it says "CLICK THE BIG LIST FOR EVERYTHING THATS FOR SALE"

    Then you do and its like uhhhhhhhhhhh I dont get it? Where's the stuff for sale?? So you click the "Birthing Record" link and everything just says call or email..... so..... yeah

    There really isn't much to it...the snakes do most of the work...
    Lucifer Sam, Siam cat...
    Always sitting by your side,
    Always by your side...
    That cat's something I can't explain...

    essentially your right, but if it was THAT easy I think just about ever person on this site would be a professional breeder!
