“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 recently placed and won a bid on an auction for a female yellow Amazon tree boa, I paid and received a completely different snake when I called and emailed I was told that the animals in the auction are preselected and I get what I get, lol Wich I thought was incredibly ballsy, I have yet to receive my money or the animal I paid for, I will not advise anyone to shop from them,

Tip for consumers:
I didn't pay for shipping, bit considering I paid and received an animal I didn't want, I definitely wouldn't say it was free

I ordered 3 baby Ouachita map turtles for my kids for Christmas. One of them looks blind and is not eating. It hasn't opened its eyes since it got here and it can't see to eat. I even looked up feeding blind turtles and followed the instructions and it isn't eating. The other 2 are fine. Every day since Tuesday I'm scared to touch it because it looks lethargic and dead. I called them on Tuesday as soon as I noticed it wasn't opening its eyes and they asked for pictures of my habitat and the pet. Pictures of my habitat for what? It came here unhealthy. Regardless I sent them the pictures twice. I called them again today to find out what are they going to do about this blind turtle and they said my habitat looks nice, and told me to give it some eye drops and give it time to acclimate. Lmao! I ordered 3 healthy turtles not 2 and a half dead, blind one. This is really stressing me out because 1) I hate to see animals suffer, and 2) which of my kids are going to claim this poor turtle? I am really not happy with this response. Send me another healthy one while I attempt to save the life of this helpless turtle. At least that's what a decent company will do. It is so aggravating to have to go through this right before Christmas.
