I didn't even know fauna had a classified section.. I check it outOriginally Posted by JoshSloane
Great write up and very inclusive! Fauna really is a great resource for getting information, it just has to be taken with a grain of salt sometimes. To thoroughly use the BOI to its full potential I really encourage people not to only read the most highlighted or dramatic postings regarding a particular breeder, but dig deeper into the information and try to get an overall picture of the seller.
Ive noticed that some people post 'Bad guy' threads in the heat of the moment, and once all the evidence and facts start coming out, it turns into more of a miscommunication. That being said, above everything, I find that a seller's willingness to professionally and openly communicate about an animal is directly correlated with the quality of their product.
There is absolutely no excuse for a seller to not provide information to the consumer directly about the animals they breed, or can't find an associate who can. I've purchased animals from leaders in the reptile community, like Ron Tremper, who still had time to respond to my emails in a timely and professional manner.
When in the process of inquiring about and ordering an animal online, I would take any inability to properly communicate as a MAJOR red flag. If a seller wants me to send them 500$ for a snake I can't see in person, they better be ready to communicate like an intelligent and professional human being.
My list of some of my favorite and dependable sellers are:
Chase-n-reptiles, Chase Delles and Russell Dabritz- Retics
Andrew Deitz- Retics
Rainbows-R-Us- BCI boas and BRBs
Ron Tremper-Leopard geckos and bps
Reptiles by Mack-Leopard geckos
