    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....

OK, so Mark sells corals, too. I don't know about his corals but I DO KNOW about his cornsnakes. He is an awesome seller; a good guy who produces excellent corns. He offers quality stock, packs them superbly for shipping, and then cares about the "ride" they take getting to you. He'll communicate efficiently and often as well.

Mark gets a top rating from this Texan.

:IThankYou

Now this is AWESOME! My first BOI entry!!

Thank YOU, Shannon!

It's a pleasure to call you a friend. I appreciate your trust in me and look forward to many more transactions in the future.

Thanks again!

Mark
 
Best transaction EVER!

Mark sold me 1.1 Super Dwarf Retics and 0.1 Tiger Dwarf and i was amazed at the quality of the animals. Everything went smooth with money transaction and shipping was flawless. I recieved phone calls from him during the sale, just before shipping, right when the package arrived, and the night after the snakes settled in! That is what i call an A+++++ Service! We still talk and i have done business with him in past. It looks like Mark is here to stay! Welcom to the Reptile Kingdom!!
 
I sold Mark some cornsnakes a while back and he was the best buyer! He was easy to deal with and the nicest guy. I would love to sell to him again. Now that he has things for sale I've love to buy from him too! Really top-notch. Good Luck in your future reptile dealings Mark! :thumbsup:

Sorry to hijack my own thread. :)
 
Glad they are doing well! So if there is no more coral- are you getting a new business name? (Just curious!)
 
It's hard to say---but since all my legal paperwork and website are done as Awesome Aquatics---that's how I'm - a - gonna leave it for a while.

The coral thing got too much like work instead of a hobby. So I stopped it. Maybe someday I will start again.
 
Great Guy!

I have bought, sold & traded with Mark. Every transaction has been very professional & flawless! His animals are Awesome! I highly recommend Mark to anybody! He's one of the best in my book! :thumbsup: Keep up the Great work!!

Just bought an awesome pair of spotted pythons from Mark. Great guy, very helpful. Will be doing business again very soon.
 
I have bought a couple of Balls from Mark. He has excellent animals, and really cares about the quality and care of them. He is very knowledgeable and a trustworthy guy. I appreciate all the advice I have gotten from him. Thanks Mark.

I just met Mark today and purchased a few balls from him. He's one of those genuinely friendly, honest guys that you like immediately. Nice animals, happy to answer questions and offer advice, and he helped me finally snag that spormal I've been jonesing for.

I'd buy from him again, no hesitation whatsoever.

Just wanted to add that Mark's a great customer as well as a great seller. We finished a deal today, and he was nice enough to meet me halfway!

Mark, I hope you didn't tell the missus you met up with some chick with herps at a seedy truckstop this afternoon. LMAO Although I must apologize that two of the kids didn't take my advice and potty before we left. :rofl:

Great guy, we always end up chatting for a while and he's really great company. It was nice to hear whatcha been up to and what kind of plans you've got going. I look forward to doing some shows with you in the future, that's gonna be a riot!
 
Great guy

I purchased a AWESOME 06 Graziani pastel from Mark a few years ago the poor pastel was lost in transit for 24 hours. Mark was great he was calling and doing whatever he could to find out what was going on with the snake. Once the snake was located and finally shipped to me. I got a great snake who is now a proven breeder. I would buy from Mark in a heartbeat.
Even under stress he didn't lose his cool.
 
SUPER DWARF

We purchased a super dwarf from mark great guy awsome snake excellent health and strong eater and tame as mentioned.

Thanks mark
 
I have gotten Corns and Balls from Mark and it has been nothing but "top quality" animals everytime! Can't wait to do more business with him! Thanks Mark!
 
Mark is one of the VERY good guys, with healthy, robust animals and second to none customer service. :thumbsup:
 
Thanks Mike & Debbie! I'm really glad to have made some new friends-- even you, Mike. :)
