Reptiles Plus

Wow, I have been reading the posts in BOI forums for a while now, but have never posted until now. I find it kind of sad, and rather obvious that Mr. Rivera would post here simply to keep bumping his only positive thread. I would encourage any newcomer to do a search on this guy and read for yourselves the childish rants and unprofessional behavior of a so called reptile specialist and business man.

The Uros are doing great!
They are good eaters and are definitely a pair of U. Ocellatus. The male has very nice blue/green coloring on his sides, face and chin. The female is more drab and has very small femoral pores. They are not ornates. They have the nice coppery/orange oak leaf pattern on their backs with bright white spots.

As a precautionary measure I took them to my vet and their fecal test
was clean - no parasites.

I realize Victor is not too popular here but he did deliver what he promised. Please don't slam me for being a satisfied customer and getting what I wanted.

Eric

I am glad to hear you got what you paid for and that they are healthy.
I only printed what I had learned about that type of uro because of Victors past. I personally purchased from Victor and defended him on a thread on an
incorrect species shipped. Then all the other reports came in, d.o.a's poor shipping practices, turtles with parasites. Then to top it all off he sends snakes out usps up north 2nd day delivery no hot pack no styro. Then lies and swears at, and criticizes all who think he is wrong.
Then when I, who was so nice to him on an earlier thread, said I thought he should replace the dead snakes, he tries to insult me and says I cannot buy from him anymore? I took my business elsewhere and went to Eric Lago who actually cares about his animals and have purchased around $425 worth of imports from him, and plan to buy more stuff soon. I guess your loss is Eric's gain huh vic.

thanks for the feedback Eric we will be getting more exotic hard to get uromastyx in the future check back with us when you need any more. thank you for your purchase!

a while ago i was asked a questions by ken from exotic pets if i had any others customers that had a good experience with Reptiles Plus well here is one of the many the are happy with the service Reptiles Plus gave them. i received this Email from a very happy customer thanks!


Hey hows it going victor
I recently purchased a blue tail monitor from your establishment at reptiles plus, about 2 months ago. At which i was 100% satisfied with my purchase, and glad i choose reptiles plus. Not only was victor very helpful and knowledgeable, but he went out of your way to assist me with any questions i had about his selection of reptiles. Victor was very honest with me, and told me exactly what i was getting. i kept in touch with Victor for about 1 week to assure i was getting a good quality monitor, he told me everything i needed to know about this animal.
He did tell me the truth about the monitor being an imported wild caught animal. He also sent me pictures of the different monitors available for sale and let me choose the exact one i wanted. i was a little skeptical about his shipping methods and was friegthened about receiving a doa animal, due to some threads that were posted on this guy, but not every customer is satisfied at what they get. people do make minor mistakes, and learn from them. so i decided to give this guy a second chance, which i am glad i did.
i saw what i wanted on his website and liked the prices he had listed on them. i decided just to go ahead with the transaction and purchase from him. when i received the monitor, it was properly shipped and packaged in an insulated foam box with some heat pads.
As soon as i put the monitor in his new custom cage that i had built for him, he ate so vigorously which was a good sign. I have been working him him on a daily basis and is showing signs of improvement and is starting to get used to me.
now that i have done business with this guy, i would definitely plan on buying from him again.
Thanks you
AnthonySainz
even after all the bashing i received on this site i am glad to proof some people wrong and i will continue to do so if the future. god bless america! eat your heart out debra harris lol!

Interesting...he wrote that letter TO you...but keeps referencing "Victor" & refers to you as "him" instead of you. If he wanted to post on the BOI, why didn't he just do it himself (it certainly appears that he intended that letter to appear someplace)

To me it reads like he has been soliciting customers for positive feedback, as you say it's not written like an off the cuff email thanking a supplier for a great transaction.


He must be an amazing business man these days to have managed to find 2 whole satisfied customers.

That was pretty much the opinion I just gave to somebody via PM (after receiving a comment about my post...Victor's affairs don't hold that much interest to me that I would just randomly correspond with people about them ) The writer of that letter might just as well have started out "Here's the letter you asked for, Victor. Hope it helps"

With no email header and the way it is written, I wouldn't put it pass Victor of typing it himself.

while the spelling is quite bad it's not quite up to..errr, well, down to Vics usual standards, it's posibbly legitimate, but obviously solicited.
