Re: Neil Golli Reptiles
I've considered buying from him, but haven't - not because I didn't trust him, he just didn't have anything that I wanted. He partners with Michael Cole of Ballroom Pythons South who I have 3 females from.
I believe that Tim (Mudduc) purchased three females from him this season.

Neil is AWESOME to deal with. I've bought a lot of ball pythons from him, and talked over various things as well. HE is approachable, and a VERY good seller. I would highly reccomend him for ANY reason.

If I am not mistaken, cueball bought something from him earlier this year.

Neil was great to work with...That's where I got Luci from!
He's sorta local for me...I will see him this weekend at a Tampa show (about 45 minutes from me). I've been by his booth at a previous show and he's got good stuff. One of the members of this forum, Alice, will be working along side him this weekend and I have met her and talked with her and she did mention him quite a bit and said nothing but good things about him. So, as far as I know, yes he is a reputable breeder.

Nate - I don't know if Neil "breeds" so much as "jobs". He may have bred a few things, but the normals I inquired about are all CH, and I "believe" that he jobs for other breeders.
He still has a good reputation - just wanted to clarify the difference.

Neil DOES breed. He also jobs, but I will state that I have bought several that he bred himself. They are the best I have I think. He produced my pied female.

Re: Neil Golli Reptiles
I have several(maybe a dozen from that group) and they are FEROCIOUS eaters! They lunge out to grab whatever I throw at them. Most even eat during shed. I had one that took 2 weeks before she ate. The rest are pigs from the first feeding. In fact my assistant used to hate feeding them, since they would often strike at the first movement they saw. Rather funny to watch.

Neil is an awesome guy, I met him for the first time at the Tampa show. He makes you feel like he has known you for years. Cuts good deals at his shows and goes all out to help you make the right choices. Its not everyday that someone who makes racks will actually sit down with you and tell you how he makes them lol. I like him alot and will do buisness with him again. :)

Re: Neil Golli Reptiles
I met him over the phone before the show and he was very friendly...a friend of mine reffered me to him after cutting some good deals with him. I will say Neil is one of the most positive reptile breeders I have ever met. He was very nice and his attitude is very commendable. TOld me even if I NEVER buy from him if I ever have a question or need a snake probed to give him a call and he'll answer any questions or help me with anything. I think that was really cool of him. I'm going to his house this friday to check out all of his bp's. I'm currently looking for an adult female myself...
