    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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....

Mark Petros

Mark is a stand up guy with an awesome collection that is well cared for. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from him at all. Ron Radloff
 
I just picked up a 10 lot of female balls from Mark about a week ago. Mark was very personable and all aspects of the deal went well.
 
I have seen many many of Mark's animals over the past several years and he has not once had an animal for sale that was not of great quality. I have also spent a bunch of time talking with Mark and done business with him a few times in the past and he has always been good to his word and is a very easy guy to deal with. Evan Stahl
 
I'll echo everyone else's posts here so far. Mark has excellent animals and is very knowledgeable about the hobby. I would have no qualms about recommending him to anyone who asks.

I've met Mark a few times at the Streamwood, IL shows and purchased
a pastel sib female last year that gets lighter with every shed. Absolutely amazing animal. I would defiantly buy from him again no questions asked.

We've been dealing with Mark for the past few years & he has AWESOME snakes!! You can't go wrong with him.
