    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....

Looking to do business with Joe of MKR. They have a great website, and seem legit. I would like to know if anyone has done business with them, and how everything turned out? I am excited to get my first designer breeders and want to make sure everything goes well.
Thanks, Evan
 
I just bought some snakes off them

Hi I have just bought some snakes off of them... I havent recieved them since they arent big enough... If your not careful Wes will talk to you forever :) they arent scared to talk to people and if you have any questions then they will anwser them... I called them up and they didnt anwser the phone, but they have always called me back that same day... I bought 1.1 Faded Albinos from them and I highly recommend them... Both Joe and Wes are good guys... I even changed my order one time and Wes didnt even try to sway my mind... I just had to pay a extra $500 to make the deal final :)

I highly recommend them!
 
Great guys!!

I've gotten many snakes from Wes and every one of them is a stunner.:)
Wes is one of the nicest guys in the biz and is very helpful, to top it off, he's fun to talk to.:)

Go for it, you won't be sorry. :)

Take care,

Just recieved my pair of Albinos

Just got them today... I havent even had time to even call Wes up!!! They are very nice... Nice yellow and best of all, Pink... YUP Pink... its his hypo line of Albinos... should change colors as they grow cant wait to bred them... once again 2 thumbs up for MKR!
 
I was interested in getting a pair of het albino balls from MKR...but they would continue to avoid my questions. (a simple question on what their prices ran) even when they said they had no more hets and offered me a male albino instead, they still dodged questions. It got very frustrating and I tired of repeating my questions...
 
I think it's unfortunate that you weren't given any pricing information, that doesn't sound like Wes to me at all.
I've known Wes for a decade and have owned many of his captive bred snakes. He is a true-herper all the way. He doesn't just do it for the money....He truly loves reptiles and breeding, which is why he'll talk your ear off if you let him. He's a good guy and if you listen long enough you may learn a thing or two, he has a lot of experience.

I have purchased alot of high end Royal Pythons from MKR for two years and they are amazing! Wes and Joe stand behind their animals completely. They are produced at MKR by MKR. They are priced fairly and they are backed up with one of the best if not the best customer service in the Business.

Stephanie, sorry to hear that mkr gave you the run around. I will beat there prices on albinos and hets. that I produced. and will treat you as a valued customer! :)
 
Ed,

That post by Steph was 3 years ago..... but hey, maybe she is still looking for some.
 
Well, thank you for the offer, Ed. :) But currently I am not working with BPs, but may consider it if a good deal is put under my nose. ;)

I'm curious, how would you be able to meet/beat their prices if I couldn't even get a price from MKR? ;)
 
Great guys! Joe makes deals happen. Whatever your needs he will meet them. Trust me, I spent over $30K with them acquiring clowns, caramels, genetic stripes and super pastels and love them all. The only way you will ever know is if you try them, start with only one to see how it goes. Let us know what you think of them..........
 
Since Morph King Reptiles claims to have sold $750,000 worth of animals in the last 15 weeks, I would just like to ask how many people that bought ball pythons from MKRs has actually received their snakes.

This is not a shot at Joe, Wes, or Morph King Reptiles. I want to get this clarified because since the Top Shelf Exotics incident, where a person that had delivered well on his deals in the past suddenly took alot of money over a short period of time without even having the animals, I have been very leary of people that are offering prices that are below everyone elses. In the instance of TSE, their previous reputation and lower prices brought alot of customers their way......and alot of their customers ended up hurt....and I do not want to hear of that kinda stuff happen again with ANY company.

Sorry for the correction. I am only interested in the last few months of business.
 
I highly doubt Joe and Wes would sell animals that they don't physically have. If an animal is sold or a payment plan is agreed upon, the buyer receives an ACTUAL photo of the animal(s) they're buying. I've been to their facility many times and they produce a lot of ball pythons and as far as I know, they don't do deposits on unhatched "potential" offspring. They sell what they hatch, and this year was a great year for them.

Still I would like to see a few posts from people that have purchased from them in the last 15 weeks. You can never be too safe in this business.
 
MKR purchase

I just purchased a large package of animals from MKR. Two of the three shipments have just arrived. The animals are Beautiful. Most of the animals featured on my website are from MKR. Also look on Reptileforums.com on the Ball Python forum. Alot of very satisfied customers gladly will tell you how much they like doing business with MKR.



Sincerely, Kyle

We bought one of the " infamous" $800 mojave's from them, it came in perfect, and feeds like a pig. He came in at 98 grams a month ago and is 207 grams now. Our spider we paid a lot more for at 180 grams came in the same day, and is only 209 grams.
We were so happy with him we bought a female mojave and a female spider from them at a amazing price.Not to meantion buying a pied from them this spring. When it comes to ball morphs MKR. is the best.
If you want a good price, excellent customer service, and a perfect snake call MKR. If you want to pay more call the other guy.
