Under Ground Reptiles

I want to find out if anyone here has done any business with Under Ground Reptiles, they are out of Florida. What was your experience with them.
Thanks
Jerry

Re: Under Ground Reptiles

That is what the BOI is for: Board of Inquiry® - FaunaClassifieds

I think it's against the forum rules here to talk about specific breeders and their reputations.

Re: Under Ground Reptiles

Here's a video. The thing I don't like is they are handling a cobra with young children close by?!

Re: Under Ground Reptiles

I was looking at their website and I am not found of seeing so many field caught animals being offered for sale... That type of stuff makes me not want to support them. As well as things like the video Eli posted....

Re: Under Ground Reptiles

That truly disturbs me, that they would take A Cobra out, when there are very young children nearby.

If I did something like that in NY, the DEC would take my license away for endangering public safety. I have to protect the public from any danger or contact with any of my venomous snakes. No one other than another licensed handler can even touch any of my venomous snakes. If he had to drop that snakes tail, everyone in that room would be endanger. And no one can tell me that that could not happen. I have over 20 years of experience with venomous and you never know what will happen.

Venom 1 Team is well known with anyone who keeps venomous snakes. They have flown antivenom to many states to save people.

Re: Under Ground Reptiles

Is it wrong of me that I wanted the guy with the paper towel roll to get tagged?

Re: Under Ground Reptiles

I got a few blood pythons from them. They came to me with RI and died within a week or 2. When we called them one guy who had answered the phone argued weather it was our fault in husbandry and basically said sorry about our luck. My husband called back (ticked off) and spoke with the owner. Once the owner found out there was no heat pack shipped with them and recieved pics of the deceased he was very accomodating and replaced them all with healthy gorgeous animals which once again had no heat packs.

Would we do business with them again? Probably not due to the fact that we had to argue to get our point across that there would be no way they could have caught RI and died within that short amount of time unless we kept them in the fridge. Also we were told the reason there was no heat pack was because it was hot in florida and they would have cooked. BUT its not on a cargo hold of a plane where they are shipped and for the rest of the distance the animals needed to travel, we are in seattle WA.
This being the only time I ever ordered animals online Im very scared to do it again outside of my nearest surrounding states which is a shame because at the moment Ive been looking for a new female boa morph to hook up with our male salmon and there really isnt much to chose from here...

Re: Under Ground Reptiles

Im sorry. I do not like BOI type threads and one thing I like about this site is that I have not seen one until now. I hope I dont see another one but I dont have any control over that. Just expressing my opinion on the matter.
