Jess,
He has a good reputation. Everyone that I know that has dealt with Mark has spoken highly of him.

I have talked to him a couple of times at the steamwood swap meet, He is a good guy. I would have no problem doing bussiness with him.---Eric---

I picked up a male Yellow from him a while back - nice guy, no problems at all.

Mark Petros is an Anaconda guru. I have recomended him in this forum and to many close friends of mine. If i had the space i would buy every snake he has. I am actually considering purchasing a reticulated python from him sunday (if i can find a place to house it). And if those granites are not sold by the end of this summer...I might just have to take them. I hate to tell you this because I have 2 friends who have contacted him about buying 2 snakes and if you get them i will be very mad since i plan i doing a co-breeding project with what they are buying from mark. good luck finding a bad word to be said about mark. I wish he delt with greens..but he has told me they are just too big and a pain dealing with chicks to get them going.

I to talk to him at the swap here in IL, and everytime I walk by him, I look at what he has, and talk to him, and always have the wallet ready, and walk away and think when I am home to go back and pick somthing up.

I was just at the lee watson swap and two of my friends purchased a yellow anaconda female which was beautiful and had a great temperment and a male reticulated python which was a sibling to tigers so it was awesome looking. these snakes are in great shape and they have a great disposition. These snakes were worth every penny (which was not too much at all..i think 100$ each) and both friends were very happy with his business and i wish i purchased something from him just cuz he is a nice guy with good snakes but i was very low on cash since the bank is closed sunday and i didnt prepare for the swap..so instead i purchased an awesome female ATB to put with a male i have(since i dont need another anaconda at the moment).. it was a great deal for a cb atb, although not from mark (i will likely put pics of her in the tree boa forum since she is an awesome red with a very cool pattern). Just thought i would add some more free publicity mark's way since he is a nice guy who deffinitely puts good snakes into the trade(and to those not familiar with the lee watson swap..pretty much anything goes so unless you know who you are getting something from...who knows where your reptile came from..a few imported greens sold quick....i also in no way mean to speak bad about this swap..it is great and keep our hobby booming, but you can sell anything from pitbull puppies, to sugar gliders, to corn snakes, to chickens and peacocks, to foxes, to green anacondas and even a hybrid was there (dont want to talk about that deal)..nile crocs too today and the rules are always followed and no venomous, venomoid, or threatened or endangered)

Thanks for all the kind words, I really appreciate the positive feedback. And to my friend with the green anaconda and the tree boas,let me know about that ball python that we talked about. Best wishes, Mark Petros

MR_ANACONDA28 Apr 18, 2004 08:36 PM

Now that you all have given this guy a ego that doest stop...Mark, hope to see some good yellows soon. Come down on your granites so we can get a few of them, lol.---Eric---
