I ordered from reptile city without first reading the reviews, and it freaked me out. I was so sure I was gonna get a dead Chameleon. I now have the chameleon, and he's pretty healthy and a little chubby. The issues I have with this place is the deceit. According to the website, the animal will not be left on your doorstep, and you must sign to receive the animal. The animal will also be shipped with a cooling pack overnight. None of this is true. I got a notification the he was being shipped at around 10 in the morning, and the company claimed to be from Honey Grove Texas. The package was shipped in the middle of the day from Florida, and I live in Austin. The package was not labeled FRAGILE, CONTAINS LIVE ANIMAL, or anything of the sorts. It was just a cube. Due to this, the doorbell wasn't rung when he got here, leaving him to sit on my porch for 3 HOURS. When I was getting worried, I checked the porch and there he was. He was in a l plastic container, surrounded by newspaper. He was obviously eager to get out, and when he did, he started running. Faster than a chameleon should. Poor guy, but he was beautiful. Brightly colored, indicating that he was in a good mood. He was pretty dry, and they're naturally humid creatures, and he's adjusting nicely to his new home, but I will not be ordering from these people again. I got my chameleon, but that was all they followed through with. They were also incredibly hard to get ahold of. Don't order from them unless you are looking to save money because they have a free shipping option "within 30 business days." My little dude took 16 b days to get here, but it was worth it. He's happily hunting crickets in his new home, but I'm glad he was shipped to someone who knew what she was doing.
