Fraudulent Business
March 29, 2021

A birthday gift was ordered and paid for on 2/25/21. The item was never shipped. I have spoken to this company numerous times to get a refund. There has been no refund issued. I have filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY!

My daughter wanted a Sulcatta tortoise for Christmas, I ordered one early December for her only to be let down. The company failed to make the shipment by Christmas, together we searched the net for a BETTER company and we found yours and we got our new tortoise safe and sound in new Jersey, very professional, will definitely come back and highly recommend or organization!

I have not bought from these inexperienced sellers and after reading ALL of your reviews I NEVER WILL! I am VERY upset now after reading these extremely sad reviews. I have purchased 2 African sidenecks from a pet store who's supplier was selling dying turtles. 1 passed in a month and I was refunded immediately and the other became very ill. She went to the vet for 6 weeks on the pet stores expense and have had her home for 6 months now. They also quit selling turtles altogether for this reason. My point is that is how a legitimate business is ran NOT what is said in numerous reviews on this site! PLEASE SHUT THESE SITES DOWN AND FIND A NEW SCAM WERE POOR ANIMALS LIVES ARE NOT AT YOUR EXPENSE! Thanks $#*! on the phone

Really crazy to see any negative reviews. Ive ordered 4 times from this place. And every time has been a good outcome. Ive gotten savannah monitor, water monitor, nile monitor, iguana, pacman frog, and few ball python. And everyone that i have got for my customers have been very happy with them. If you have any needs or questiond then felton will answer everytime and be happy to help. And hes even been nice enough to help make shipping better just today even hes gave me better shipping then what i asked for. I appriciate that forsure. But yes this place is awesome. They got great animals and help alot. Even if youve had lil bad luck once ide try again and try getting a little better shipping because im sure it was the package carriers doing because this place is 5 star.

Reptile City Order 126007
September 10, 2018

Asian Forest Scorpion CB babies, buy one get one free. I didn't have any problems whatsoever, I emailed Felton with questions that I had and he answered almost immediately. I opted for the free shipping that could take up to one month but I placed my order on September 2nd and it arrived on September 8th. That's Awesome! All the scorplings that I received are healthy and they were packaged great, the container they were in had damp sphagnum moss and they were packaged with newspaper around them inside of a box. Reptile City definitely cares about their customer service and their animals. THANK YOU, REPTILE CITY! (You can only see three in the picture but there are more, all are healthy).

Very rude people. The guy caught a attitude with me and insulted me on the phone. And they don't package their animals correctly. Your critters will be dead in a day if you buy from them!

I had ordered 3 green Basilisk babies, 2 fire belly frogs and 2 fire belly newts.

The frogs were simply not in the order. The newts and basilisks arrived in a UNMARKED PRIORITY MAIL FLAT RATE ENVELOPE! Newts dead on arrival. 1 Basilisk dead after turning to a skeleton for the next 2 weeks, a second followed him the week after. One survived the ordeal to grow up... no response to complaint, no refund, no new animals, no apology. Sick bastards sending live animals without a proper marking on the package, never mind illegal.

Knowledgable, friendly, and wonderful customer service along with high quality Reptiles are some of the many reasons you should consider ordering from Reptile City. I purchased 2 musk turtles from Reptile City, and could not be happier with the amazing customer service I received as well as the exceptional quality of my turtles. I reached out to Felton with a few questions prior to my purchase, and he went above and beyond my expectations to provide a positive experience. He responded to my phone calls and emails promptly and professionally. I was very impressed with how quickly I received my turtles as well. They are a great addition to my fish aquarium. I highly recommend Reptile City for anybody looking for outstanding reptiles! I look forward to purchasing more turtles in the very near future from Reptile City. Do not let all of the negative posts sway you from giving Reptile City a chance. Call Felton, and he will put your mind at ease and give you the best experience ever. I am so happy I reached out and did! If Reptile City was as bad as some of these people claim it is, then it would have been out of business years ago. Read the reviews from all of their customers on their website, and you will see why there are many happy customers including myself :)

Okay
January 10, 2020

Although the yellow belly sliders arrived safe (and SUPER CUTE), I'm not impressed with the way they were packaged. They were SOOO excited to hop in the warm aquarium and take a swim. They were dry when they arrived, one was upside down and unable to move and the heating element in the box was cold.
