    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 recently purchased two ball pythons from John Martino of RMJ Reptiles; a male pastel and a female spider. He gave me a more than fair price for the pair and was excellent to deal with: quick to respond to emails and calls and never too busy to answer my qeustions.

When I first contacted him about purchasing in early June, I told him that it would be 6-8 weeks before I could accept shipment b/c I'd be traveling a lot during that time. He said no problem and that he'd hold them for me. Finally got a chance to accept shipment and they're awesome. Both are way better than I was expecting. Thanks again John.
 
I concur. :thumbsup:

John Martino is one of the most straightforward and honest gentleman in the business. He has been around the ball park for some time, and makes every effort to ensure the animals he sells are cared for and in optiumum condition. He doesn't advertise religiously like some of the other breeders, but surely he holds his own in the business as being one of the best.

So far, i've purchased over 2K in animals from him, and have even more coming. And that's certainly not because we share the same last name...

:rofl:

My 2 cents

I just bought 3 BPs from John this week. Not only are they stunning animals (A female Pin and a pair of Hypos) but he was so helpful and let us see his amazing collection.
He opened early to accommodate our schedule and talked to us for over two hours about his collection, general BP questions we had and even taught us how to pop.
This was by far the easiest purchase I've made, and I would highly recommend both John and his BPs for anyone looking to buy some really great snakes at great prices!

I am in the process of making payments for a group of fairly valuable ball pythons from John Martino and I can say that the experience has been great. John is very easy to reach and he's a great guy to deal with. While I haven't finished paying for my animals and haven't received them yet, I am sure they will come in stunning and absolutely flawless.

Garrick,

You are going to love him. I purchased all my het. clowns from him as well as a few visuals. Every time I get an order from John, the animals are flawless.

Regards,

Vic
 
ABSOLUTELY agree, I got a lesser and 3 spiders from him this summer and I am VERY pleased in them, eating pigs, growing like mad and very high quality animals. While I post about bad service, I LOVE to post about great service and John did great by me, will never hesitate to do business with him again...
 
I bought a Albino boa from John Martino, the thing is huge now.

John is a person that you can trust
 
My daughter and I had the pleasure of visiting John at his home. Even though I am new to ball pythons he treated me with respect and answered every one of our questions with patience. We never felt rushed and stayed for some time checking out his extensive collection. He had every morph you can think of full grown with lots of them breeding now. His snakes were in top health and his facility was clean and professional. I purchased two pastels and two het lavender albino's from him. I am very happy with these snakes & hope to acquire some more ball pythons from him in the future.

I've bought male crown and male lesser pastel from John. The transaction is smooth. John sent me the same animals from picture he sent me to choose from. These two ball python never refuse food and come in in a perfect condition.

Good guy to do business with, don't hesitate to get low-high end animals from him.

I have also bought from John last year spending about 1.7k on his double dose lipstick litter and I am extremely happy with them. My pair is doing great and the female is almost 4 feet with 2-3 week feedings of a small rat and she is begging for more. Great guy to do business with as I am in process of trying to get another female from him again.

John is the one of best out there. RMJreptiles is pretty much a quiet buiness and should be on the top with VPI, and Nerd. I purchased a pair of mojaves from John in July 07 and he made sure the Bps arrived in Miami safetly. The Mojaves are top of the line and there growing beautifully. John is one hell of a breeder/seller.
 
John Martino...

Iv'e been trying to get a hold of John Martino (RMJ Reptiles) for a few days now and have been unable to do so. Does anyone have any contact numbers for him other than whats on his website?

Thanks,
Brandon
 
John Martino (RMJ Reptiles) where are you?

Just a heads up, I cannot locate or contact John Martino (RMJ Reptiles) and I have sent at least 5 emails, as well as placed more than 10 calls, and its been near a week now and he is nowhere to be found.

I placed an order and have not heard from him since.

If anyone knows where I can contact him, or, if they can contact him for me, that would be great.

Thank you.

John Martino reputation...still GOLDEN!

I found John Martino, as he was on vacation for the week. There was no funny business going on and basically it was me jumping the gun.

John's reputation is golden and I apologize to him.

Thanks John!
