Underground Reptiles

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with this breeder. Looking to make a purchase and just wanted to do my research on them before dropping my hard earned cash.

Do a quick search on the BOI on Fauna Classifieds and you will see that they have a lot of feedback, most not very good.

BOI?

I have had experience dealing with Underground Reptiles in the past. Make sure to read and familiarize yourself with their T.O.S. ( terms of service).

Do a Google search on the phrase "underground reptiles mites".

They aren't a breeder. They are a flipper. They buy WC or CB in bulk at low costs and move them out quickly at cheaper prices to the public.

A lot of people don't agree with the business model - driving prices down, flooding the market with low quality stock, etc. I've bought from flippers before and had mixed results. You should go into it with your eyes open, and be prepared in case you get a WC animal with parasites, etc.

I purchased a couple of animals from them several years ago. Be prepared to quarantine and treat for mites.

My advice is buy from a reputable breeder be it on the small side or the large side. Sure you might pay a little more but the quality of the animal will make up for it.

I've seen some of their stuff and would highly advise to avoid. A girl I knew got a snake from there and it died a week later.

That money you're spending, you also have to think about the cost of dealing with mites, possible parasites and what if the animal dies and you don't get a refund. Then you're out of that money. So in the end you have to ask yourself is it really worth it or not?

Take the advice and avoid them. You can find what you want from a way better source.

Also to the OP, what reptile are you looking for? I'm sure a lot of people on the forum here can point you to some reputable breeders.

Yea based on the replies to the questions i sent them, or lack there of, i think im going to hold off. They had an adult male clown for $250 which right away was a red flag for me based on the pricing i have seen for clowns. They also neglected to answer any of my questions on his feeding behavior. If a business cant give me the specific details i ask for on one of their animals then that pretty much takes away my interest. Thanks for all the replies everyone.

Depending on what your budget is, talk to Sean from Exotics By Nature about Clown stuff. He has some of the best I've seen, and there's generally a waiting list with him.
