Prehisotic Pets

Has anybody had any recent experience with Prehistoric Pets in Fountain Valley? I've gone to BOI and have found mixed reviews but they are all several years old. I'm wondering if they've gotten their act together or not.

I haven't been there in at least 6 months, but the last time I was there, they still had the same issues.

After seeing this video, I have no desire to do any business with these guys...

Why on earth is he pulling those babies out like that!! Awful!!!

Yep, that was my question. I can understand being excited about what you might be getting, but that's no reason to pull the poor guys out like that!

I kept waiting for him to slice his wrist with that blade. :evil:

Ps.....I got mites from them once, just sayin.

wow, the one bob clark has is superb!

im sure there is some repercussions to doing that but that seems a little retarded to me

What Heather said.

That is so bizarre. 1) Why would you do that? 2) Why would you post yourself doing that?

Well thanks everyone. There were lots of old posts about hem but nothing new...maybe cause people know about them...? Shame, their website looks really good... oh well. Thanks a million!!
Oh yeah, that video? Unbelievable.

I've noticed their photography skills are excellent...and the prices of their reptiles seem to go directly with the quality of their pictures....rather high.

Did you also notice the disclaimer, well, it used to be there and may not be as I haven't looked at one of their ads in ages, that said the photo was just for comparison and was NOT the animal for sale?

I can't speak on their high end breeding facility, but I have been to the store 2 years ago...mites. Neat animals, but I wouldn't buy from the storefront.

The *other* Prehistoric Pets in Chino aka Reptile Guru, I would buy from. =) But they are so close to Amazon Reptile in Montclair, whom I prefer anyway...

Chino has mites too...

Used to live down the street from them, practically.

Wouldn't buy from them either.

Ah. I've only been there once...

Amazon Reptile all the way then!

I did notice that Wes and was troubled by it.... :hmm:

I know its a month old but had to add my :2cent: The one in chino is better that the fountain valley one. FV is where I bought my pastel from whom i have had nothing but problems with since, they house snakes in the same enclosures, I have yet to go and see atleast recently changed substrate, Have witnessed there monitors tearing each other to shreds during feeding and they do nothing to treat wounds, not to mention prices are too high for the quality of animals they produce and keep. Chino on the other hand isnt quite as bad They do have mites but I have yet to see a store that at one time of another doesnt have a mite problem, all I want is to see something being done about it. and cleanliness I have been many times and have seen them changing out substrate and cleaning cages. :gj: But the choice is always the buyers if they want to buy from them then so be it.

I bought a dumerills boa from them about 9 months ago, no complaints yet.
