    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Does anyone here have experience with Luis Velazquez and/or Planet of the Reptiles?

Website is www.planetofthereptiles.com

We are looking at a baby granite burm, but cannot find any info on Luis or his snakes.

Thanks for any help!

I cannot speak for him as a seller, but as a buyer. I sold to Luis a three years ago. He was very straight forward to deal with and a super nice person (we met in person). His interest with the animals I sold him was off the charts and he's kept me updated on their progress and that of his other projects (albino granite Burms being one of those). The feedback and pics for what he acquired from me let me know he's pretty serious about the care and quality of his animals and that's something I always appreciate. The contact we've kept over this time period let me know the animals are in good hands. Bottom line: Based on our e-mail and phone conversations over the past three years I'd truly expect nothing but good things from Luis if you are buying. Hope this helps some with your decision.
 
I've bought from him before, great quality animals and a great customer service!!

thanks!

Thanks for posting your experiences.

It did help me decide to purchase from Luis. I sent the money by paypal on Friday and she arrived today by FedEx at 9:35 a.m.

For anyone else thinking of purchasing from Luis, he was very easy to deal with and granite burm we purchased was very well priced and is a beauty. I would definitely recommend him as a breeder / seller to anyone who is looking for info on Planet of the Reptiles!

Thanks again to Ryan and Matt for their input!!

Thank you Jen, I hope you enjoy your new granite. Call me you have any questions.

We have purchased from Luis several times. He has sent us great reptiles. One of them, an Northern Blue Tongue Skink, was fat and healthy and produced for 9 huge, healthy babies this last season. Thank you Luis.
