I'm sure a good amount of you have ordered from reptile depot. I have only ordered from them once, and it ended very badly.
I purchased a tailless whipscorpion for 25 dollars. For those of you that don't know what it is, here's a pic. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://animal-world.com/encyclo/reptiles/whipscorpions/images/TanzanianGiantTaillessWhipScorpionWHSp_AP7I.jpg">http://animal-world.com/encyclo/reptile ... p_AP7I.jpg</a><!-- m -->
Anyways, I took it home, put it in a PERFECT setup, and it was dead within 2 days. I called them, and they would not give me a refund. I had the receipt and everything. Not only that, the employee on the phone had a freak out and started yelling.
Well, I met them again at another reptile expo, and they finally agreed to give me a refund of 15 of the 25 dollars. The only thing they had there for 15 or under was a small striped lizard, but only 1 employee knew what it was. They did not know how to care for it, but they gave me the scientific name; Holaspis guentheri. Well, I researched a bit, set it up fine, and even offered it a few crickets, it mowed them down in a second. The next day it was dead. They wouldn't give me ANY refund, or store credit.
I won't be shopping there again any time soon.
I've seen them again a few times, they don't seem to remember me. :? I don't know, maybe I just caught them on a bad day.
