    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....

I just had the opportunity to work a deal with Mark on a pair of Jungle Carpets. He accommodated me on several levels during the transaction, first by "saving" them for me after I initially expressed an interest. Mark patiently waited for over 1.5 months to ship the pair, and was extremely accessible during this time. The animals themselves are Grade A+ Jungles. Mark gladly furnished multiple pictures of them on my request. He packed and shipped the snakes professionally, supplied the tracking number, and the animals arrived at my doorstep without any problems. Enclosed in the shipping box was an envelope with a $25.00 personal check from Mark made out to me. Apparently the shipping costs turned out to be less than Mark expected...so he refunded the difference TO ME. Think about it...that gesture...to someone who's basically a stranger(me)...on a simple, relatively inexpensive purchase. That says a lot about Mark's character. :thumbsup:
 
ive dealt with mark a while back, and i agree mark is a great guy and he has some nice animals, great pricing as well, learned alot from mr vitelli...GREAT GUY!!!
 
Mark is a wonderful guy to do business with! Great communication, great animals, and he goes above and beyond to make sure all is right with the transaction. No worries with Mark. :thumbsup:
 
Aw shucks--You guys! (non-gender-specific usage)

The fact is that it's been great knowing all of you. Even you, Jim! :D

It really is rewarding to know that peeps dig my stuff!

Thank you all again!

So your the lucky one that got those. Everytime I saw that add I would stop and wish it was tax return time. Oh well, good luck with those.
 
Did some more biz with Mark in person today. Never changes - always an awesome guy to work with. It's so easy to hand this guy money.

I'll cut you a break and not make any more comments on the rainbow mobile. :rofl:
 
I have had ONE deal with Mark and it wont be the last. I bought some ugly Albino Argentines from him in January and they were shipped promptly and correctly. The only problem that I have with Mark is his username... Makes me think of MITES:ack2:

By the way Mark, the Argentines are getting frickin BIG and more ugly :rofl:
 
I've known Mark for a couple of years. I first met him when he replied to one of my ads. He's one of the good guys. Someone you can trust. If you have the opportunity to do business with Mark, go forward with the transaction. You'll be very happy with the quality and condition of all his stock.

Without a doubt, Mark is a good guy. I was on the other end of a transaction with him, and his payment was prompt with great communication.

Yup,Mark is a class act. :thumbsup:

We recently traded a few things,and everything was "exactly as said".(Which is a rare quality in most folks these days!).
I wouldn't hesitate to do business with him again.
