    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....

I decided to pick up a couple of Leo's and during my research I came across Reptiles by Mack. They had what I wanted, but the only red flag for me was their shipping was almost half what everyone else was asking.

Absolute pros to deal with. I found what I wanted, placed my order, and it arrived by 10:30 am the next day. I think mine actually arrived just before 10am.

Perfect healthy Mack Snows in insulated (w/heat packs) professional packaging. The leos are doing great and I look forward to doing more business with them.

Highly recommend giving them a shot. :thumbsup:
 
Hi Shane!! Thank you for your order and the awesome feedback. We can't think of a more positive way to start the week off by reading a nice review here on Fauna.

Sincerely,

Reptile by Mack
 
Thank you John. Now I just have to figure out a way to talk the wife into letting me order more from you guys...lol

Other reptile breeders need to be taking notes from you all over there at Reptiles by Mack.
 
Agreed!

I bought three baby leos from them a few months ago. They were shipped when promised, arrived well-packaged, were healthy, have grown like weeds since, and have turned out very beautiful with sweet temperaments.

I was in contact with Sandi Thomason afterwards from their customer service department asking questions about leo genetics, and she was wonderful, too. I would not hesitate to order another animal from them. :D
 
I got my MBK from Reptiles by Mack in June 2013. She's a real beauty and the folks at RBM were GREAT to deal with. I'd highly recommend them.
 
I bought a Russian Tortoise baby from Reptiles By Mack and they were awesome to deal with. It took my baby a couple of weeks to come out from being buried in her coco fiber but after 2 weeks she was eating like a horse and roaming all around her enclosure and basking. I worried the pants off Sandi at Reptiles By Mack about my little girl not eating but it could have been partly my fault because she is my first Tortoise but not my first Reptile so my heating could have been off. Anyway it was a pleasure dealing with Sandi at Reptiles By Mack. My little girl got a clean health Vet visit. Attttttt Thank you Sandi, We adore Shelly :)
 
Hi Jennifer!!!! I am glad she is thriving.

Thank you to everyone for your awesome feedback and business. It means so much to us and we look forward to hearing back from all of you.

Kind Regards,

Reptiles by Mack
 
I too can vouch for John & Amy Mack of Reptiles by Mack. Years ago before they even had an online website I purchased a leopard gecko from them. They are good eggs. I've recently started getting back into Herod and placed an order with them via their website and was contacted by Sandi who was concerned about shipping out the animal due to the recent cold temps. It's obvious their company and employees are about their animals even though they are large scale breeders. Wonderful people who are definitely not in it to make a quick buck and still care about their animals. Thanks John & Amy Mack, you restore my faith in humanity.
 
Ordered from RBM April 2014. Received quick reply back from Sandi when my cc didn't go through. That was at the time of the Target hacking thing, and Wells Fargo had canceled my card. She was super helpful and patient while I found an alternate way to pat since I had to wait for a new cc to be snail mailed to me. She also answered all of my questions within hours of asking. Very cities, professional, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. Received 3 incredibly beautiful, healthy leopard geckos that are still doing great. They were shipped in insulated boxes with heat packs, individually labeled. Couldn't recommend this company highly enough and can't imagine buying lg's from anywhere else.

I have never purchased from Reptiles by Mack before, however, it is very apparent in their posting here on Fauna and in brief interactions with myself that they take their business very serious and are professional, polite and prompt.

Thumbs up to them:thumbsup:
 
Some of you may know of my company, we've been a part of this industry for 63 years.

I don't often post on here, but just could not resist throwing in my endorsement for Reptiles by Mack.

I have dealt with quite a few reptile breeders throughout the years, and I cannot think of any that are more professional and more dedicated to our industry than John Mack.

Wish we had more like him.

I'm glad to see these guys are doing good business, I initially thought they were just big time breeders pumping out animals to sell. Sounds like nothing but positive things, I've already recommended them to some friends who are just getting started.
 
I recently bought a pair of Leachianus from Reptiles by Mack. Every question was answered promptly, the pair was held until temperatures were acceptable, they were professionally packed, and the geckos arrived healthy. I highly recommend them.
