    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....

John Martino

yea I used that and it was all about boas and not balls. they were also pretty old postings, but they were good about him. Just wanting to cover myself before spending alot of money
Thanks David Pollard
 
Susan, there are 2 John Martinos. One lives on Long Island and hes the Boa guy.

The other John Martino is in Jersey (RMJ Reptiles)and hes the Ball Python guy and I would recommend him as a good guy. :thumbsup:

Hey Guys its John Martino out of Long Island. I am John Michael Reptiles as Michael is my middle name and I knew there was another John Martino in the business. I am mainly Boas but I am starting to get into the Ball market a bit. If you have any questions of me, or need references of any kind, please dont hesitate to ask. Hope this helps. Thanks, John Martino
 
I have done thousands of dollars worth of business with John Michael Reptiles and can vouch for his animals! Top notch. I know nothing about the individual out of Jersey.

I own a male albino Ball which I purchased from John Martino, and I couldn't be happier. He's a happy, healthy little animal -- and best of all, he eats like a baby Burm. :D
 
I have purchased from John Michael Reptiles on two different occassions. Both times the animals were presented accurately and in perfect shape. I still have both animals today, one going on almost five years. I would not hesitate to purchase again. Great guy.
 
John Martino Good Guy

John Martino is a great guy to do business with, He is very knowledgeable and his animals are the finest quality investment Boas you will find. We reccomend him Highly. :rofl:

Just wanted to add a thumbs up for John Martino of John Michael Reptiles as well. Purchased a nice pied from him. I hope it's ok for me to add this, but I think it deserves recognition.

I ordered a pied male, and he offered me a FREE het male. I accepted. So he ships and the pied gets here no problem, well packed and everything. But, no het pied male. :shrug01: I wasn't worried about it, as I didnt pay for it, and didnt really need him for anything in particular. I email John in a joking fashion. So, John offers to ship him to me for free!?? $50 out of pocket, or he offers me a female morph I wanted at a GREAT price, and free shipping.

Anyway. Long story short, The next ball python I pickup, I will be checking with him first.
