Jeff Hartwig, buy from him?

Like I said, anybody done any business with Jeff Hartwig ? I've heard he has the blackest of the black bloods, and they sure are. lol I will probably buy one for my boyfriend in august. [who's the best GF? :D ] Just trying to get some feedback about him and his snakes.

Some of my nicest Sumatran short-tailed (black) pythons have come from Jeff. He's a straight-up guy & just wonderful to deal with. A black-on-black male I got from him several years ago produced some KNOCKOUTS for me this year (keeping every single one!) bred to my darkest female...his bloodlines are just fantastic. Big, robust babies, docile temperaments, fantastic feeders.

Something to keep in mind when considering Jeff's Sumatran blacks - "He who hesitates, sleeps alone!" His animals sell out quite quickly, and it's a no-brainer as to why!

on that note i'd say he sounds like a sure buy....

I went ahead and moved this to the inquiries forum, as I think it's more appropriately placed here.

High praise indeed from Kara. She has some beautiful bloods.

Thats cool, didnt know where to go lol.

Awesome thanks Kara! I've been drooling over his snakes for weeks. And like you said, I just hope I can get in on an 07. If they're not already spoken for.

Also, make sure you check out the section on Jeff's website about his pole vaulting career. He's an Olympic athlete, and knows all about hard work & dedication, and it shows in his reptiles too.

Not trying to be effusive here. I just think it's a great thing when you meet someone in this industry/hobby who is genuinely a nice person, and it's cool to see them do well. Jeff is truly one of those "someones" - if you're ever at a herp show where he & his wife set up, definitely introduce yourself. 2 of the nicest people you could ever hope to meet! :rockon:

i wish I could post the pic of him with the TITE shorts on. That just won me over. It was so "out there". This buff guy holding a BIG OL snake, with teeny little shorts on. lmao!

I have done business with Jeff and have known him for several years now. He is definitely a stand up guy. As Kara has said, he has some very nice bloods. I am quite fond of his carpets though!

I have a Black Blood coming from Jeff on Wednesday! :gj: I am so pumped, and everyone is right.....Jeff's service is great! A very good guy! :)

Congratulations! Jeff was an awesome guy, and I am in love with my bloods. You will be too!
