    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....

Has anyone bought from Mark. M. Lucas?

I would like to know what has been your experience in buying from Mark Lucas ([email protected]). I am interested in buying a few WC ball pythons. His disclaimer in the terms and conditions is huge so I would like if anyone has any comments on dealings with him.

Thanks,
 
I have not personally dealt with him.
I have just e-mailed him on several occasions.
Mark seems like a good guy.
he has to put those disclaimers because they are WC.

I usually don't expect much out of wild caught...meaning....if I bought it and it died....I don't blame the seller.  I just consider it a gamble that I lost.
 
Thanks for your input Ritchie. He has not gotten back to me yet on my inquiry. I understand they are WC and the risks involved. I read through all the disclaimer and it seems reasonable for WC animals. The only thing I'm concerned about is the "live arrival" as the only guarantee. That leaves the door open for anything. I can deal with internal and maybe external parasites but the rest...

I have purchased reptiles from Mark several times.  It was always a good experience.  If I am looking for something, I always check with him first..................Robin
 
If I'm not mistaken...I've done biz with Marc also! I KNOW we've spoke a couple of times....you shouldn't have any problems with Marc! It's the WC that I'd be concerned about! Don't get me wrong...whether it comes from Marc or someone else...a WC Ball is a WC Ball!! Ticks by the ton (unless Marc picks them off), USUALLY thin, but you can't beat the price if they all survive and start eating on their own!....ENJOY

Thanks for the input. I'll see what I decide once he contacts me.

Daniel - I've dealt with Mark on several occasions, and though he does have lots of disclaimers because he does sell many types of WC reptiles, his service and quality are outstanding.  I've purchased some wonderful animals from him, and will continue to purchase from him without any reservations. <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
