Just wanted to let you know that I received the frogs (what amazing critters), and I remain interested in additional animals if/when they become available!

Steve here from Minnesota. I wanted to thank you for going above and beyond with my recent order. It is often hard to know that you will actually get 100% satisfaction when ordering something over the Internet. I feel that I got 110% and wanted to send a note to specifically thank you for your work and help and care. Less and less often these days, it seems that companies are not concerned about making happy customers. You have made me and my son very happy with your service, quick response and going above and beyond. I look forward to doing business with you again!

Earlier in December I purchased a female Ball Python from you and I have to say I’m completely happy. Not only is she healthy, but she’s also incredibly active, docile, and friendly. I have her feeding on frozen large mice already and after the first feeding session she knew the separate tank was meant for eating. Also, in July I purchased a Russian Tortoise from here and he’s doing wonderful. He’ll actually hang out on the bed and watch tv for a little with me before passing out for a bit. I can honestly say that I’ll recommend you to anyone looking for any type of pet you sell. I can’t be more happier than I am with your service and the care the animals have before I receive them. Any future purchase I make will be through here first and foremost.

I just wanted to let u know that my tarantulas showed up on time this morning, and I couldnt be happier! the burgandy goliath is beautiful and wow is she big! she has already had her first meal under my care. i wanted to thank everyone over there at under ground reptiles hub. the professionalism and care you guys expressed throughout the entire process was not only unheard of as far as im concerned, but greatly appreciated. as was the speedy responses to all of my questions. I have yet to find another site like yours, and you will certainly be getting more business from me in the future. and as if all of that wasnt enough, there are no better prices anywhere online! thanks again for everything.

Jason Percival

Hi, I just wanted to say “Thanks” I bought my first ever live animal over the internet from you guys over there at underground reptiles  and let me just say I was really scared to open the box when my new critter got here. I wanted him to be safe and alive, and he was. My Jackson Chameleon was healthy and very nice… not scared, he ate from my hand the first time I offered food to him and he drank water right off the leaves no problem. How my Chameleon acted when he ate and drank I could just tell he was well taken care of. As customer service goes underground reptiles  was great when I emailed I got responses back to questions fast. Just another satisfied customer, showing support from Ohio to Everyone over at under ground reptiles hub.

Carlton Gustafson

This was my first time ordering from under ground reptiles hub and I had a GREAT experience! First, they let me make changes to my order with no questions asked. They were extremely helpful with all my questions I had regarding the tarantulas and scorpions I was purchasing. When my arachnids arrived they were boxed up very well and very safe! They took very good care and pride in making sure I was getting active, healthy arachnids. My scorpions were very active and ready to eat as well as my tarantulas. I will be making more purchases in the future for sure!

Michelina Fedele

Good Morning, I am a Marine Sergeant, and would like to say you guys exceed expectations. Me and my whole Squad of Marines sat behind a computer and ordered the hatchling Blood Python and a lot of Marines felt different ways about online ordering such a beautiful snake without even contacting yall first. However, the Blood Python is awesome, the delivery was fast, the price can’t be beat that I’ve seen; just an all around success. Thanks a lot and you will have many more customers from the North Carolina area.

Sgt. Brandon Arabie, USMC

Thank you for the FAST service! You may add this as a testimonial as well on your site if you would like. The Snapping turtle I ordered was super healthy and active upon opening the box and too to its new home (120gal) very quickly and within an hour had already had 3 of the medium feeder fish I had waiting for it! ALL I have to say is WOW was it bigger than described! Super awesome and will highly recommend! Also the Russian Tortoise came in fantastic health and was super excited to get out of the box! we let her run around our carpet a bit to get some exercise from the long trip until she had a bit of an accident on the carpet oh well she is in her temporary 40 GAL breeder tank till I get her pen finish maybe tomorrow she took a good drink of water and already eating lettuce and some zilla tortoise food. Thanks again under ground reptiles hub.

Matt Blanton

Just needed to say i ordered a sulcata tortoise for my daughter and two new tarantulas for myself and I am absolutly amazed by your service and the condition of your reptiles and arachnids you guys are great and have made a loyal customer out of me thank you much.

William Johnson

underground reptiles IS THE VERY BEST! I have purchased a pancake tortoise, two Eastern Box turtle hatchlings and now a Red Footed tortoise hatchling….all arrived next day in perfect health. Reptile quality is superb and their prices are UNBEATABLE! They readily answers any questions you might have about anything via e-mail. They provide top quality reptiles. I am extremely pleased with all of my purchases! It is the only place I will buy my reptiles from and I will buy more in the future from them definitely! From a VERY Satisfied customer in PA.

Susan Kalman

Hey under ground  Reptiles, I just wanted to say thanks for all the great purchases. I have purchased Chameleons, a couple of Fat-tailed African Geckos, a Ball Python and even feeder crickets and I have been very satisfied with my many different purchases. I even work for a pet store and I shop with you all because your prices are unbeatable even with the discount I get at my place of employment. I will be back again, I am think of purchasing a couple of Central American Boas next to ad to my collection of reptiles. Thanks again for everything, Aimee from Ohio

Aimee Borden

Thank you so much for your excellent follow-up with this order. Your superb communication is a treat. The animals appear wonderful – they are alert, feeding, and drinking well, and appear very strong and healthy. It has been a pleasure doing business with you and your company, and I know this will not be my last order from under ground reptiles hub. Your reputation online is very good and I know why. Thank you for everything!

Scott Hall

I received my Yellow Niger Uromastyx (named Raiden) 5 days ago, and I absolutely love him. He’s a gorgeous golden male and very big and healthy, exactly what I requested! He’s wonderful being handled as well, very tame from the get-go. The customer service provided was excellent both before and after I received him; underground helped me give my lizard exactly what he needed to bring his appetite back after shipping, via facebook and email, and now he’s as happy as can be. I definitely recommend under ground reptiles hub to anyone who wants to purchase an animal online, and I will be a loyal customer here for years to come. I definitely want to get a mate for my Uro from under ground reptiles  someday.

Angela Mack

I needed an adult Ball Python for a presentation…the next day (and to add to my collection). I had seen under ground reptiles quite a few times but had never ordered from them. It seemed too good and easy to be true, the prices were so low, the guarantee’s too good and the interface so easy. After I emailed back and forth with the sales team, I felt really comfortable ordering. How I felt before I ordered was nothing compared to after. They emailed me and went out of their way to make sure I was getting exactly the animal we had talked about after I ordered. They assured me she would get to me the next morning before my presentation, and she did. Beautiful, healthy, full grown female ball python. I got so many compliments on how pretty she was it made my head spin. They must handle all their animals every day until they ship too, she was completely comfortable being held and picked up and even let a long line of kids get their photo with her. She was the star of the show! I’m ordering fromunder ground reptiles from now on, in fact I’m placing another order next week and I’m stoked. As with most online orders you expect to be a little disappointed because nothing’s ever as good as the photo. Not with Backwater, I’m stoked because I know what I get will be exceed my expectations. Best customer service ever! These guys are awesome! Thanks again under ground reptiles!

Chris Stewart

Animals came in and look great!! Thanks for an awesome buying experience. I will be back.. Let me know when you have caiman.

North Georgia Zoo

Bought two red blood pythons back in March and just wanted to let you know both are very healthy beautiful and have tamed down perfectly! The female is getting close to 3ft already male is a few inches smaller and both are quite fat. Thank you again they’re amazing pets; if possible would love pictures of their parents.

Ronnie Roberts

First,I’d like to thank you for the amazing BRB [Brazilian Rainbow Boa] I received yesterday. This is my 3rd one and by far the most beautiful. You can tell you take pride in your reptiles. Second, I was wondering when you were going to receive any Malayan Horned Toads. I’ve never owned one and am very interested. I’m uneducated on them so I don’t know of they’re seasonal or not. Thanks for you time and thank you for my new addition!

A. Gerardi

Awesome thank you. Your services department has reached a level that most companies can only wish for. You should all be proud. Great and to the point and prompt responses too. If my beardie loves his new food, I’ll def come back to you guys! Best, Jon

Jon Gonzalez

underground reptiles hub , you are my absolute favorite reptile website. I received my sub-adult Savannah Monitor a few days ago and he is absolutely perfect. He’s friendly, beautiful and active. I couldn’t be more happy. Thanks again, I’ll be sure to do business with you again. 🙂

Parker Sandvick

A few weeks ago I purchased a brown Basilisk and a Colombian Tegu. Both were in great condition and looked healthy. After a few weeks they are still going great, so I am extremely pleased with my purchases. This was the first time I ever ventured into purchasing reptiles online, and Underground reptiles eased my fear of ordering online. I look forward to doing business with you again in the future!

Dennis Bokota

I received my new black and white columbian tegu this morning around 9! Beautiful healthy little hatchling. His markings are awesome and the body doesn’t have a single bruise or missing digit. He’s warmed up nicely and scarfed down some scrambled egg already! Thank you for sending me such an awesome reptile! Highly recommended business!

Te’Darryl Powell

The frogs arrived today as you said they would. Their colors are more brilliant than I ever could have imagined and their health is very impressive. Thank you again for the excellent customer service

I couldn’t be happier with them!!! Thank you so much!

Hillary Shuert

My african fat tailed gecko came in this morning happy and healthy! While there was a slight communication misunderstanding Sam was extremely quick to answer my email! My experience was great and if I can’t find my next reptile at a local pet shop, I won’t think twice about ordering from underground reptiles !

I will absolutely be purchasing from you guys again soon. Thank you again for all the immediate responses and great customer service.

Good morning underground reptiles . The caiman arrived and is well. Many thanks from me and my family. Good doing business with you.

M. Papadakis

Just got my awesome male green anaconda this morning, a bit snappy but beautiful colors and not too bad of an attitude for being recently shipped. He has a nice home and I’m sure we’ll get along great! Thanks under ground reptiles  for an AWESOME snake! 🙂

J. Scott

Hey underground reptiles hub, these anacondas look GREAT! Very excited about these two and I’m pretty sure I’ll be coming back to you for a few more animals. At this point I’m mainly looking for mid sized adult boas/pythons (as in under 12″) but there are also a couple very specific animals I would like to find. If you think you might have anything I’d be interested in or might want to take a crack at the more specific animals, let me know. Thanks again.

B. Taylor

Having recently purchased a bearded dragon I was shocked to discover that his weekly grocery bill approached that of a teenager going through puberty! Pet stores in my area charged me anywhere from 11¢ to 15¢ for an individual cricket, and with three feedings a day of between 10-20 crickets each things started to get out of hand really quickly: I had to find an alternative. I began to purchase in bulk via the Internet but the cost of shipping and the umber of deceased crickets/mealworms/roaches that I received with each shipment made whatever savings I was promised vanish into thin air. Then a friend suggested under ground reptiles hub and all my bearded dragon-related woes vanished into thin air. First, at around 2.6¢ per feeder these guys’ prices are around 75%-80% less than my local pet store. Second, you can forget about shipping because every order is shipped FREE and arrives via the USPS in 2-3 days. And finally, the quality of the feeders and the fact that virtually none have ever arrived deceased is a testament to how much care and attention the folks at underground reptiles hub put into their work. Do yourself a favor and give these guys a try. I can promise that you, your wallet, and whatever caged animal you’re feeding will be over-the-moon.

S. Brook

I received my red eye tree frogs yesterday. I am very pleased with them and also the condition they arrived in. Just a thank you from a satisfied customer.

D. Guinto

Hi there, 😀 I was so excited when FedEx arrived with my Vietnamese Giant Centipede, I been busy catching crickets for him, and the first day he even ate! What a ferocious feeder! 😀 Thank you sooooo much for my pede! I couldn’t have been more happier doing business with undergroundreptiles ! Mister pede is doing well, and I will most definitely order from you guys again, what an awesome variety of exotic things to choose from! Thank you again.

Austin Morris

I picked up the leos and the frogs today at 10:30. They look awesome! The little albino is full of spunk lol. I’ve got them all in their enclosures and will try and feed them tonight. Thank you again! Pleasure doing business with you! You will hear from me again soon I’m sure.

A. Willbourn

My little ornate uro you sold and shipped to me yesterday is full of energy. He’s already eaten and sipped a bit of water. He seems very healthy so I’m very happy with this purchase!! Went to the pet store and spent $150 on stuff he needed to maintain his health and growth so he’s all set to grow up strong and fast. Thanks again.

E. Cristello

The green anacondas are awesome, thank you! A little aggressive, but that’s to be expected, once again thank you very much!

J. Price

Just wanted to drop a thank you on the caiman lizard that arrived today alive and healthy. Thanks.

I just received him! He looks a little freaked out but who wouldn’t after all that. Thank you so much for all of your help and information. He is awesome looking and with that face he is definitely a male haha or at least most likely. If I ever want any kind of animal you offer I will not hesitate to use backwaterreptiles.com. If you have a boss let him know how great a job you did and how patient you were with my million questions and requests. You deserve a raise haha. Thank you again from California.

Totally please and impressed once again…..thanks.
