    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....

Hey,

I was inquiring about these two at ProHerps, specifically John. Has anyone recently done any business with them with boas? Do the genetics they sell prove out?

He also mentioned a guy Frank Visconti of Boa Evolutions. Anybody do any business with him?

Thanks!

I have never specifically purchased boas from them, but I have purchased other animals, and I can tell you that you will never meet another pair with more integrity than Gary and John. If John says that a genetic trait is present in an animal of his, you can bank on it.
 
I've never purchased from John or Gary (yet, just waiting for them to hatch out some things I'm wanting.) but I have sent animals to them before. I wouldn't hesitate to do a deal with them, I consider both of them to be friends and very trustworthy.
 
I'm a member of this forum for five years and I've never read a bad word about Gary. I wouldn't hesitate to do business with him.

Plus he's a very sexy man.

Ashley,

The whole lot of them (John, Gary and Frank too) are good guys and I would not hesitate to do business with them. :thumbsup:
 
Ashley,
If you want to ask about somebody other than ProHerps, please do so in a separate thread. :thumbsup:
 
John and Gary are both good guys,have bought from them in the past and would do so again with out hesitation.

Besides Gary is the biggest gecko breeder in the world ,he probably out weighs most of us by a couple of hundred pounds!
 
John and Gary are great guys with great animals. I would buy a het from them without a second thought. I have suggested them in the past and will do so again. Now if I could only get Gary to follow a REAL football team or at least wear a hat to cover up that head! :)

i have known John and Gary for a few years now since they started doing shows they have come a long way and are great guys i have done many deals with them and hope to do many more A1 guys ! Mike Schofield (Schofield Re:yesnod:ptiles )
 
Both Gary and John are great guys. They always have very nice looking animals at the shows, clean and healthy. I have never heard of one complaint in all the years I have known them...
 
John and Gary are great folks. No worries buying from them. And if you are rally lucky Gary might let you rub his big bald head for luck.
 
John and Gary are great guys with great animals. I have gotten animals from them, and I have never been disappointed. I see them at the shows here in Michigan, and they always have healthy, beautiful animals. They will not steer wrong. You can buy from them with confidence. :thumbsup:
 
I have a half dozen or so animals from them and all have been clean and in great shape. I have only picked up visible morphs and some non morph Kingsnake species, but I wouldn't have any problem picking up a het from them.

Good guys to buy from in my book.
