I just purchased a Ball Python from Chris and he was very prompt in delivering it to me. The BP was well packaged and arrived safely and in excellent health. I spoke to Chris several times over the phone and he gave me the impression that he will go out of his way to please his customers. But it doesn't stop there. He called and emailed me after shipping to follow up on the well-being of the ball python. I would buy from him again. Chris Simone, Good Guy.

I agree

I met Chris Simone on the phone after responding to an add, he is a good guy who is in the business to further the species and was really great to me. He is going to set me up with my first python, (if my wife will relent!) and I am very grateful to him for all his help and his prompt response.

I'm glad you like her Jerry!

Keep me posted on how she does. Let me know if you have
any more questions.

I decided I needed one more male ball python for my group and I purchased one from Chris.
I couldn't ask for a smoother transaction. We made contact on Monday and I had the snake Wednesday morning.
He kept in touch constantly and even phoned to let me know the snake was shipped.
I wouldn't hesitate to buy from Chris again.
 
I got my first ball

Just a note to say that Chris came and set me up with this male ball, and I just love this snake. Sounds odd, but it's true. I will be getting more from Chris hopefully later this spring...

Hey Mike...

It was a pleasure to meet you and your family the other day.
I have to warn you...ball pythons are addictive! It's nice to
do a local sale since I get to actually meet the people I am
dealing with and it is always a lot of fun. I'll be starting to
hatch out babies in a couple of months, so keep your eyes
on the classifieds! If you want to see just some (there are even
more!) of my breeding females in action, check out:

username -> chrisssanjose

I'm sure I'll be talking to you in a couple of months :)

Later,
Chris Simone
 
Just a quick followup. My ball group wasn't really in the mood for breeding when I received the male form Chris.
I made the decision rather than to quarantine the new male alone, I would instead quarantine the group in hope of seeing some breeding.
I took into consideration the overall appearance of the new male, he was mite free and appeared very healthy, so I felt it was a reasonable risk if limited to just the other balls.

He arrived on Wednesday and was mating with one of my females on Thursday and a second one on Saturday. I'm actually a little concerned about fertility, he's breeding so often. I witnessed 4 seperate copulations over the course of both days. Going to need to rest him a few days to recover the sperm count.
Chris had mentioned in the ad that this male was showing strong breeding interest. Of course I didn't count on that at the time of purchase, being a skeptic myself in many cases, and "breeding now" or "possibly gravid" are often used sales tactics.
However, this was completely true, I can say that I don't recall having seen a more anxious male in my collection. He was definately accurately represented.
 
Really Great Guy

Chris is a wonderful person. We just purchased a Male Ball Python from him. He has been in contact with us every second of this transaction. On the Phone and threw emails. He is a very thorough on his sales. Very prompt on his deliveries. And his animals are very clean and healthy. And very well packaged. We plan on buying alot more from him in the near future. Thank you Chris for everything.

It was my pleasure...

Carissa and Levi,

I'm glad you were so happy with the transaction!
It was really nice to talk with you on the phone and get you
setup with that nice animal. He really is a great looking snake!
Feel free to keep in touch if you have anymore questions. I'm
always happy to talk about ball pythons... Good luck with your
breeding attempts.

Regards,

Chris is excelent topurchase from. He is very helpful with information and is top class on the whole purchasing transition.
I love the id pictures and info. that he sent with my snake.
Thanks Chris for being a very reptable person. Chris is another person in my book that is great for our business and I will purchase from him again if the need or supply arises.
 
Chris Simone

:D Chris Simone was very helpfull to me and his prices are the best I have seen in a long time. It is rare when you find good prices and good service in the same place. He seems to care about his customers and the quality of snakes he sells. I purchased 3 het axanthic ball pythons from him a few weeks ago and they are fat healthy eating machines. I would sugest to people who are trying to get into the BP color morphs to contact him and purchase your stock from him. I know when I start looking to buy additional stock I will give Chris a call.

I wanted to thank Chris Simone for all the help and support he has given to me. We bought a poss het pied male from him a while back, and nomally when the sale is done that is it you never hear from anyone again, but this is not the case with Chris. He has checked in with us on several occasions to see how the animal was doing and how we were making progress on our project. Well Chris the project is on its way we have hatched out 6 baby ball pythons and have another female looking like she will go soon. ( I gues better late than never) Thanks again Chris for all your interest and support, good luck and keep up the good work.

Glad he's working out for you Tony/Mike!

I'm very excited for you guys that you were able to breed that male
so soon and produce those female babies. You are hopefully just
2 years from proving out that male by producing PIEDS! Let me
know if you get even more eggs/babies. I love to hear from
past clients.

Regards,
Chris Simone
 
Just had a transaction with Chris

I Must say that when he says hes going to pay for something he really means it... he doesnt even play around... he said he would paypal the money to me and within 15min there the money was... great guy... he even understood when I miss sexed one of my balls pythons... hes a great guy and I would/will do more business with him! Highly recommended

Chris is awesome! He has quality snakes, communicates great, is very organized, and knows his stuff. He is one of the few people I would ever consider purchasing Poss. hets from. He let me hand pic out four 50% het caramel albinos, and included feed cards, and a sighned photo ID with receipt. They are great eaters, and huge for their age. It wont be long untill I have baby caramels.....OK, a little long, but it's worth it! It's breeders like Chris that make it very easy to blow my savings on ball python morphs. It can get addicting!
I can't wait to see what you will be producing in the next few years. If I am able to pruduce half of what you did this year, I will be content as a ball python breeder. Thanks for all the help Chris. You pointed me in the right direction, and helped me to understand genetics and how to produce some great morphs with a limited budget. Keep up the good work!

Evan Vellios....P.S. I still want that little jungle orange flame hypo pumpkin sided super blushing 50% poss het for axanthic. He is awesome!
 
Just received 11 ball pythons from Chris. All appear to be in great health. Transaction was very smooth and quick delivery. I would definitely do business with chris again, given the chance. Each python came with a photo and Chris's signature to help prove genetics if I ever wanted to sell any of them. Great Guy. Thanks Chris.
 
My transaction with Chris Simone was the smoothest and most pleasant online buying experience to date. Not only did he work around my schedule and go out of his way to make the experience a good one; but he gave me a lot of free advice and help with reptile care. I highly recommended him.
