Let me start by saying I did NOT end up buying from this site and never will, however I would like to share my experience with you all.
a couple months ago I started a painful and long search for some place I could buy a box turtle from. they are very rare here so at the time (with no connections in the reptile community here) my only choice was to buy online. I came across reptilecity.com sent them a email and got a response from the owner, the prices were awesome and I was super excited that I thought i had found someone.
after a few emails back and forth i asked him about his shipping methods (after seeing unboxing videos on youtube where he used usps and no live animal, fragile, or perishable notices on the boxes) well we all know you cant ship live animals through usps. that was my 1st red flag... when i brought this up and asked him to ship the turtle responsibly and legally he refused and told me he had to many clients in puerto rico to lose over this... i then went on to look up reviews for this company and ALOT of people have had so many problems with them, from never receiving the reptile to taking months to deliver...
anyways thought i would share my experience with these guys... i did end up finding someone here after another long search so thankfully ill never have to deal with this guy again.
