“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!

We got two babies and they were frisky right out of the box! There loving their new home. They seem very healthy and well cared for. A lot smaller than I thought they would be, but they're so cute!

I have been ordering scorpions off this site for quite some time now, and only one time has there been a time to where there was an issue but I got refunded for it and got a new one later so all is good!
So many different scorpion species uncluding my favorite one (Androctonus Bicolor) wich I couldn't find any other site having and i still have him and a few others to this day!
Hoping one day I'll purchase the reptile I want from them once it's in stock again because i trust them the most.

I ordered my blue xanthic iguana on 6/16/20. He arrived the next day. He was packaged very securely and had plenty of padding and air holes. I will buy any future pets from underground reptiles!

Our rainbow Jackson came in amazing condition. I am so greatful for the excellent service at underground reptiles. They called and let us know he was delivered. We didn't even know he was on our pourch. UPS just dropped him off and didn't even knock. He is so friendly. He hung out on my hand and ate a cricket right off it. Put him in his cage and immediately took off to exploring. I walked back over to his cage after about 45 minutes of letting him get aquainted to it. He was hanging out in the far back basking, saw me and headed right for the door. Climbed right in my hand and just pirched there. Extremely satisfied and will definitely be a repeat customer

My experience with Underground Reptiles was great. I received a baby Sulcata tortoise that was calm but lively. He ended up eating right away, overall I am pleased.

They call to make sure shipping temps are good also the packing of the reptiles was very good. The only downside would be not having a ups store near by since you have to pick up any live animal.

I placed an order with them paid for them and the shipping info next day receive an email from a transport company telling me I need to pay them $1750 for them to ship my animal to me contacted the seller and they told me it was on me to pay that When I explained, I cannot afford that much money for shipping. They canceled my order and will not give me a refund so I am out my money and I have no pet.

My boyfriend and I have been looking into getting a camel spider these past few weeks. Well around 4/7/2021-4/8/2021 we bought one from this company. We got the spider 4/10/2021 and right away we knew something was wrong. We had been studying dromopoda's (the higher classification of camel spiders) for quite some time now, me learning about them for a few months and him learning about them since he was a child. When the spider arrived, it didn't move. It was stiff as a board, and from others experiences with buying these creatures from other sites and local stores, they are supposed to be pretty active. We decided to set up it's enclosure with sand, a hollowed rock for shade, and a heat lamp. We only got the bare minimum to start off with due to money. Well, we put the spider close to where the heat lamp was aiming and after a while it's legs started twitching. We took that as a good sign and since the spider arrived full (meaning it already had ate before shipment or during shipment), we didn't put any crickets in just yet. We decided that hopefully overnight it would be active or feel better. We woke up this morning and my boyfriend went to check up on the spider and it was still in the same position as yesterday evening. He had sent an email yesterday stating the situation and we have yet to hear back from this company. I am VERY disappointed with how the spider arrived to our house, and we will not be buying from this site again. Much better going to a local store and able to see the condition of the creatures.

Tip for consumers:
Do not use this store.

Hi Sharon, you placed your order on 7/6/20 and selected 7/9/20 as your shipping date. Your baby sulcata tortoise was shipped on 7/9/20 and was delivered the next day on 7/10/20. This is evident by your UPS tracking number 1ZE868710191887478. It was not in transit for 4 days, so please don't post false facts. You have never contacted us regarding any issue with your animal. If you are having an issue please contact us directly rather than posting false facts in a negative review. Please feel free to reach out to us at info@undergroundreptiles.com or at 954-428-8005. We are more than happy to assist you with any issues you are having with your animal.
