Pangaea Pets. I have found problems with other stores and their customer service.

Ben Siegel's place is not far and is one of the best IMO. Then again I dont visit pet stores much. I buy all my reptiles directly from breeders and my feeders are bought online. Best place to buy frozen rodents if you live in Miami is through Loxahatchee rodents, they have super clean/fat rats and shipping is only $20.

Let me rephrase what I said. There are 2 that I know of and have actually been to. I would reccommend Pangaea Pets (Amir's store). But I second the abopve posters comment. I buy directly from breeders.

Pangaea Pets is pretty good (Amir sold it a long time ago though but they are still running). Snakes at Sunset has had mixed reviews. Anyways, they are all overpriced. Just go with the breeders directly

With Ben Siegel you will also pay for the name as well.

If you're going to Deerfeild Beach to check out Ben Siegel, avoid Underground Reptiles at all cost! They are located there as well. We bought three snakes (two Candoia carinata-carinata and one amazon tree boa) from them earlier this year. All were advertised as feeding well on rodents. None of them ever took a single rodent. Tried everything, even anoles and geckos. Nope, they never at ANYTHING. Two died (one Candoia and the atb) and the one is only being kept alive through assist feeding. I forget who I spoke to since its been so long, but they were very rude and told me to take a hike. I don't dare make a BOI on thread on Fauna. Tried that after I got scammed by another person and I instantly got attacked for posting a BOI. How dare I, right?

Actually, the last show I went to Ben Siegel had the most competitive prices of anyone there. He had Champs for $1500, Firefly's for $500 and a Highway for $7000 if I remember correctly. Those are some pretty good prices IMO and Im only naming a few.
