I have not heard of a bad transaction with MKR. It seems like the only problem with them is their prices. MKR has a great reputation quality wise.

I really hope no one gets offended though ;)

You are missing the point completely...Its not about their customer service from a transaction standpoint. It is about them bending over their customers that they sold animals to.

I'm not offended in the least. But I don't agree with you on their reputation quality wise. I can only speak from my own observations on the clowns that they produced this year to sell cheap. They are not "shining examples" of the morph. At least not the ones I've seen. If I had seen their clowns first, I would probably move on to another morph that I liked better. Thankfully, I've seen NICE specimens from Justin Kobylka and EBN.

There is something to be said for you get what you pay for. Not just in the animal, but in the continued support that you get from your breeder AFTER the sale. MKR seems to be lacking in the support category.

I was just saying that their reputation is good when you are talking about a transaction standpoint.

But I understand that their reputation is NOT good with teh people who got screwed over.

I disagree with that - their quality leaves something to be desired.

Sounds like a braggart and a tool to me...*shrug*

Right on their own website:

http://www.morphkingreptiles.com/Clowns.html

A nice clown has reduced pattern with very little spots in the side patterning. Theirs are loaded with spots.

THESE are nice clowns:

Now you tell me, which ones look nicer?

Sean and Celia have some seriously "hubba hubba!" clowns!

WOW! Those are really nice!

You are right about the quality of clowns then. I apologize for arguing about that.

BUT I still have not known of a person who was sent a sick unhealthy snake, or no snake at all :P from MKR.
