    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....

Good Guy Mark Petros is one of the best guys!!

I have nothing but great comments about Mark. Ever since I inquired about a female clown he had for sale he has offered nothing but great service. Not only does the female clown look amazing, I purchased her at a fair but nothing offensive to Mark or the current market. There was a hick-up from fedex where I didnt receive her until 10pm! But Mark was with me the whole way yelling and screaming at fedex. Mark assured me that I will receive a full refund if the clown did not arrive or was d.o.a.. I highly recommend Mark Petros for great customer service and high quality animals!!! Absolutely a great guy!!
 
Hi, just have to second the motion!! Mark is great!! I got my super pastel and spider from him and they are AMAZING!!! Great job on producing some high quality animals!!!
 

I too would recommend buying from Mark.
I bought a beautiful pied and bumble bee from him a couple of weeks ago and I am super happy with them.
I have seen his collection and what a collection he has!!
Mark is a super guy and I will certainly buy from him again!!!!:yesnod:

Does he have a website I could check out what he is selling I am in the market for a new ball python.
 
Mark was shipping from Chicago to where I live which is Southern California and the package stayed in Texas until 1pm the next day! I got on the phone and they said they was a dispatch sorting error and that it is on its way to the facility near my house. It did not end there. I called them again to let them know what was the problem and I rather pick it up instead but they assured me and gave me their word that it will arrive that day. I tracked the number and it arrived at my facility at 1pm and did not leave the facility for delivery until 7:30pm! Again me and Mark were furious and we kept getting the run around from them saying it is on its way. Even though the package was scanned at 7:30pm that it left for delivery it did not arrive until 10pm. I only live 7 minutes away from that facility and it took 9 hours for them to get it to me once it arrived in California. This is the first time they have screwed me this bad. Luckily she was live and well.
 
That is terrible. I would have been more than furious. I am glad you received her OK. I would have died knowing my snake was in a box in Texas. That place is hot this time of year. Thanks for sharing....Would love to see a pic of the BP...

Hmmm
I would have sworn I made a post in one of Mark's threads, but I guess I was mistaken.
I've made a few purchases from Mark, and been happy with every one of them. He definitely gets two thumbs up :thumbsup::thumbsup:, and a confident recommendation, from me.
 
just did a trade with mark for a male honey bee. got him in today and i'm extremely pleased. definately recommended. :thumbsup:
 
Just discovered this BOI forum. I concur. Mark Petros is awesome! We purchased a lesser platinum female from him which arrived on time, warm, cozy, and has been a joy to have since. He also doesn't mind following up on his animals. A credit to his profession. We highly recommend his service as well as his A+ quality animals!
 
I bought a male Bumblebee from Mark and it was a stellar example of the morph!! Shame i sold him, but Mark took care of me every step of the way! I would recommend him to anyone if they are in the market for a Ball Python.
 
Purchased a male Bee, female Lesser, female Pastel, female Cinnamon all at the same time! Great snakes, great guy, and overall great transaction! I was so happy I just picked up a female Sugar and a female Lemon Blast from him. Thanks Mark!

Regards,

Brian
 
Mark sold me a spinner blast and three yellowbellies , the male spinner started
mating at about 358 grams . The yellowbellies are some of the nicest balls i have
received .

Mark rocks! I bought 6 more snakes off of him and received them today. The transaction was smooth and I received top notch animals like always. I have recommended people to him and will continue to recommend people to him in the future!

I bought a yearling female het clown from him a couple years back. She arrived weighing even more than advertised, fed aggressively, and gave me a healthy clutch the very next season. I highly recommend Mark.
 
I picked up a male pastel het pied and lesser and also a female mojave from Mark in July and all 3 are eating very well and growing like weeds.
Mark has some super animals and I have the privilage of being within driving distance to go "shopping" when I'm looking for some new addittions to my collection.
I will buy from him again!!!!!!!!!!!
