    Where to buy?

    I was wondering if anyone has had any experience purchasing from Jeff Flanagan at jeffflanagan.net/ouroboros/Ouroborosmain.aspx or or Mark Petros at ballpython777.com? I am just looking for a nice health young bp to spoil and pamper and want to make sure that the breeders are reputable. If not- who do you suggest for reasonable price and healthy bp's?

    Re: Where to buy?

    I dont know of the other breeders but I met Mark Petros at a reptile show in the chicago area. He was a very nice guy with a beautiful setup and awesome snakes. Grade A in my book. But if you can get ahold of Tom Furr in the chicago area he is usually at the reptile expo in wheaton, IL. I bought 8 snakes from him this year and they are all top of the line and beautiful. He is also a very nice guy and will make you feel good about your purchase. Hope this helps.
    Good luck,
    Aaron

    X2 For Tom

    We've gotten several snakes from him and they are all great, he's a really nice guy. I can PM you his email if you'd like.

    Mark is very nice too and has great looking stuff. I have never purchsed from him though.

    Also, Gerrick DeMeyer at Royal Constrictor Design has a great selection of animals and customer service. We purchased an awesome pastel from him.

    Mark Petros is a great guy. We have made multipule purchases with him and never a problem. He has a very nice selection of animals. I am expecting FedEx to bring me a great looking HoneyBee today. Very excited!!

    We were at Garrick's place this past weekend picking up a couple of balls, Enchi and Yellow Belly, and he also has great selection of animals and customer service.

    You can't go wrong with purchasing an animal from either one of these guys!

    Thanks so much. A lot of people feel really positive for Tom Furr. I have found a little information on him but does he have a web page. I can't seem to find much. I will keep looking.

    I dont think he has a webpage but if you go to http://www.allanimalexpo.com/ and look under vendors his email address should be next to his listing.
    Here is his phone #(815) 791-2189
    Hope this helps,
