“Great place to do business with”

Hazel H.
6/6/20

We had awesome customer service and no issues whatsoever, unlike previous place. My son received his crabs within 18 hours of ordering them, they are alive and healthy and he is so happy, will only use them from now on.

“Tokay not okay”

James A.
7/13/24

If feel dumb and deceived for trusting this website and shame on me for not looking at reviews before I ordered. I surprised my wife with a Tokay Gecko, was so excited and relieved him with in 24 hrs of ordering. Upon arrival he was extremely skinny and very underweight. Being reptile owners we were upset but sprung into action and did everything possible to bring him back. He was 12 inches and only weighed 68gr. Being that long and age he should have been close to 120g at least. Not knowing anything about his living conditions prior we just figured of course they didn't feed them well. We got him in his enclosure and gave him about 4-5 days to acclimate to his home. During the time we gave him crickets, supermorms and roaches. He would strike but not eat or put it in his mouth shake and spit them out. After day 5 we decided to take the chance and get him out. We'd get him to open his mouth and toss in a worm here and there. We thought it was a win because he ate them. The problem after handling him he was so weak so we'd put him back and give him a couple days. This went on for a day short of a month when he passed away while trying to feed him. My heart breaks because we pour 1000% into our babies and we could not save him. We thought he was getting better and moving more but in the end we believe he was just hanging onto a string. I feel so sad, mad and down right heart broken about losing Arceus. He will forever be a God to us but we will never tell anyone to buy from Underground reptiles and will be deleting anything to do with them. NEVER BUY FROM THEM EVER!

I ordered a baby axolotl from underground reptiles Tuesday and it arrived Thursday morning in prime condition. I would highly recommend underground reptiles to anyone looking for exotic pets.

I got my baby veiled chameleon about 9 days ago from underground reptiles he was clearly too young but at first he seemed okay he wouldn't eat much but I thought maybe because he was settling in but a few days later he stopped moving around stoped eating completely and wouldn't open his eyes I thought he might need a new light so I went and bought one next thing you know my precious bay passed he was obviously sent to me sick and underage would not recommend buying from here breaks my heart I lost my baby Rango

I ordered 3 Red Eyed tree frogs. When I received them they were vastly different sizes, 1 was a baby, 1 was slightly larger and 1 was full grown. They called me the afternoon I received them to see how they were doing ( I thought that was nice) I told them they arrived alive, however they weren't really moving around and there was an awful big difference in the sizing of the 3. Fast forward 6 days, the full grown one died out of the blue.

I emailed them and told them what happened. They asked about my tank setup. I told them I had a bioactive Terrarium, live plants, heating mat underneath with a gravel layer, dirt layer, moss... UVb lighting only and sent them a picture. I also told them I've raised tree frogs in another terrarium and the setup is exactly the same, this isn't my first rodeo. They emailed me back to say that I should not have a heat mat or a lamp that the frogs were susceptible to heat that's likely why it died. They could offer me a discount on another frog and a discount on shipping. Excuse me? So the full grown frog was the only one to die... the babies are totally fine but my terrarium is at fault? 1) The heat mat only puts out enough heat to evaporate the water in the rock layer that drains out of the dirt layer, 2) the UVb light doesn't even put out any heat.

Thanks but no, I won't be buying ANOTHER frog to replace the one that clearly either had something wrong with it or was old to begin with since it didn't last a week.

I recently bought a Reptibreeze medium cage and a baby created gecko with isopods. Being an order with live animals, the gecko would have arrived before the cage. However, the Underground Reptile staff contacted me and arranged to have the gecko held until after the cage arrived. I called after the cage arrivee, I called and ask for the gecko to be sent. They sadly informed me that the created gecko I had order was no link mger available. Instead, the upgraded me to a pinstriped crested gecko and made sure I was satisfied with my purchase and experience. I was. I received truly great customer service and the crested gecko is healthy and well. I couldn't be happier!
