I'm in process of a problematic deal with them and I'm wondering if anyone else has had good or bad experience?

Danielle Fields

BTW Where are the emails??????

I think it is a fair question to ask. Why did you deny that you were the same company as Rainforest Reptiles? Several people have come forward to state that you told them that Mike wasn't the same person.

Danielle, Let me know when your ready for some more...

Payment was sent and accepted via PayPal last week.

The animal was shipped on the date agreed upon and to the location specified.

When I requested a tracking number I was taken aback to find out it was a USPS Express Overnight number.

The package did not arrive the next day but rather two days from when it was shipped.

I don't believe there is any excuse for shipping an animal in this manner. The snake is extremely cold and pretty beat from it's journey but hopefully it will survive.

Please not how the animal was packed in the following pictures (small USPS box, no insulation, no padding). At least one nice big tick came along for the ride as well.

Please avoid these and any others that are uncaring enough to ship their animals in way.

I have written them and asked for a refund of the shipping fees. No Response.

As a result the snakes only padding was two square pieces of 1/2 inch styrofoam a heat pad and the top peice of styrofoam. They had told me that the snake had a tiny bit of a pink nose from past nose rub. I guess that was an understatment. It was rubbed to the bone, and the snake had had/has a serious respiratory infection (super puffy throat and open mouth breathing. Its condition and injuries have distorted its whole face to look quite horrible. I will never order from them again. I an disgusted! You talked to them about their methods back in september. Well this is December, and they still need some serious improvment!

I was not happy with the shipping methods at all, but the animals got here on time and alive and alert. They are wonderful animals though. I would work on the shipping methods a bit as well as identification. Thanks.Leland

Mike my roof blew off in the huricane and I still sent all my shipments out with heat packs and insulated boxes. When I ran out I waited until I had the supplies to send them in a healthy manner. The problem you are having is that you are in the business for the money and not the animals. There are alot of guys out there like you and it is a shame. I have heard of your operation from someone who visited your place and what I heard was a little wholesale shop kinda of setup. The problem is, we as a industry, excuse the way wholesale shops setup their animals because they have so many. That is a crap excuse and it is especially crap when you don't have 10,000 animals.

There was a heat pack in the box, but a lot of good it does without any insulation. Also, the male was loose in the box because his deli was partially crushed as well. I emailed him letting him know I was dissatisfied with the shipping and for $45 shipping they could have sprung for the correct shipping supplies. Of course no response.

The phantasticus are doing well now and they look to be healthy otherwise.

Again, thank you for taking the time to address these.

things that make you go.... hmmmmmmmm

Thanks again. I've seen you on reading after each post so I'm sure your already making sure you squared everything away with these customers. Matter of fact, I know you have been contacted by at least one in regards to this statement.

So you must be ready for at least a couple more for tonight.

Thank you again for taking the time to make sure that the rest of us in the hobby know if you make a mistake your going to correct it. I'm sure when I'm done emailing every last one of these CUSTOMERS asking why they forgot to come back and tell us that you made it right with them,

This was my first attempt to whole sale anything and I did learn a few things in the process so I guess I can remain neutral.

I see Mike has run away, wonder what the new business name will be.. I just heard that he'd finally grown a quarter nut and posted on the BOI.. As far as I know no one has been taken care of by this scumbag I know I sure haven't..

Complaining that no one gave you a chance before making a bad Guy post about you is BS, once something goes wrong you don't reply to emails or phone calls. Mike you're scum, have been and always will be.... Randy

Why were you telling people that you were not RAINFOREST REPTILES and that Mike is a different Mike? Do you not think that is a fair question?

Joe:

I figured out who you are?

You are that child I see running around one of the dealers I know and have done good business with for many years. The owner will be informed of your behavior and tactics.

Are you the MambaKeeper who claims to be a law enforcement officer who made a nasty and bogus post about me on another thread and does not know me?

Dan... this thread is NOT about you. Do not try to make it that way.... Go back to one of your many threads.

Thank you for understanding.
