Re: Opinions wanted please..
I don't see a problem with the confederate flag at all, and think it should stay. I do see where some people have a negative viewpoint on the flag, but for the most part, I don't see where it should have a negative connotation at all. But again, you aren't going to please everyone with anything in this country anymore, thats what drives me nuts, freedom of speech is slowly getting taken away.
But good work BT, love the site, I don't see where anything should change, its you.
Custom reptile and amphibian enclosures! As well as other custom wood working.

Re: Opinions wanted please..
Wow. It looks top notch BT! But like a few pointed out, maybe put the labels above the species picture in the collection page. I was confused for a minute. 
I like the rebel flag, very southern of you!

Re: Opinions wanted please..
Very professional, I think the TOS should be after a sales decision like Alice said. Otherwise it is very well laid out and clean.
Best of luck with it brother

I like the way that when you hover over your collection pages, it tells you info about the species....genius.
Thanks ol boy but what were you expecting?

One glaring change that I would make is on the 'Collection' page: Please consider putting the headers above the pictures. This is the way our brains work and would be helpful to see the header at the head and the pictures in the category below the header. On the 'Available' page you have the header and then the info correctly and logically placed.
The other thing is just my own thing and I just know I'm going to be flamed, char-broiled over this but... The Confederate Flag.
Okay so before you clobber me, I will say that I was born in Pennsylvania, lived a bit in Connecticut, grew up in Maryland, lived several years in Virginia, and went to an awesome bluegrass festival in Union Grove, North Carolina for several years. My second favorite place on earth is western Kentucky. That explained, the confederate flag, for me, represents oppression and hatred and intolerance.
BT, I am not suggesting that you espouse such ideology, but I am wondering if you might be off-putting a segment of potential customers with the inclusion of a flag that stirs such negative emotions in a large sector of the American population.
I hope you don't take this the wrong way....................  I wish you knew me... Maybe I ought to have pm'd this to you.... crap.
I didn't take it the wrong way...I live in Kentucky but was born and raise in Louisiana...To me the flag represents Southern pride, Southern life and like Charlie said - Is synonomous with the South...Believe me - I had these dicussions and talks about the flag with a few other people that I consider my good friends and I'm sticking with it...If it cost me a few bucks in sales - It's all good and I'm fine with that...If people want to stereo-type me over a logo or a name it's cool - A couple of things I'm not - Politically correct and fake but I do keep it real...
I hear ya about the headers below the collection -Thanks...

Thanks Jas - You know it brother...

I understand what Starmom is talking about the Stars and Bars...but the rebel flag is synonomous with the South.
and after all, you are "BT..the rebel from the South"!
Thanks Charlie - I understand too but lke you said brother "BT...the rebel form the South"...

If people don't realize you're just a good ol' boy trying to breed and sell snakes, and that the flag has no other meaning behind it for you and your business, maybe thats not the type of customer you want anyways. From talking with you, you're definitely a good guy, and I say keep the flag.
Sometimes the oversensitivity and over analyzing gets down right ridiculous. You can't always please the masses, do what you want to do and call it good! 
Thanks Jason - You know me brother - Fly it with pride...

Re: Opinions wanted please..
Thanks BT for not taking what I said out of context or being stupid about it, since that is not what I meant.
Also, thanks for explaining to me what the confederate flag means to you and why you would put it on your site. I don't need to agree or disagree but it is nice of you to explain

No need to thank me...LOL...I'm about as laid back as they come when it comes to answering honestly asked questions...Remember - I'm from the south and that's how we are...LOL...Questions never offend me or rub me the wrong way - Thanks again for check out my site...
