Thumbs down FloridaHerps.com - BUYERS BEWARE!!!

My boyfriend and I ordered a ball python from FloridaHerps.com and it arrived with ticks! We tried calling right away with no answer or response. It was advertised as captive bred but it was obviously NOT. We tried e-mailing but got nothing. Then after several attempts they responded rudely, and in ALL CAPS, telling us we were out of luck. We have since read many bad experiences but too late for us. They also tried to pose as another person on a different forum to badger us with threats. My boyfriend is very upset. BUYERS BEWARE!

Also, we learned that FloridaHerps.com uses drop-shippers for most of their animals. This means THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE THE ANIMALS THEY SELL!!! Do they mention this on their site, NO!

Huh?

#1. What forum was I banned from? Ridiculous!

#2. We husband Quan and I own property in Myakka City, FL and Sarasota. So if you are going to accuse me of being a reptile company I am only 3/4 of a mile from Silver City Serpentarium! Another fantastic reptile company I can personally vouch for. They too have african tortoises outside!

#3. What is your name? Your posts have a different last name then your profile. Strange.

#4. Where are all these CAPS? I don't see them used by anyone anywhere? Can anybody please show me where I can see posts from this company in all caps?

Don't attack me, you started this thread and here unlike the other places you posted you will need to provide proof. REAL name the order was placed on, emails with headers, paypal or credit card transaction info to show you really bought what you say you did, tracking number, etc.

You can deflect the facts or lack there of all you want, people on this forum are wayyyyyy too savy to fall for fake slanderous comments.

#1 Where did she say you'd been banned from anywhere?

#3 What last name do you see?

Michelle, once again, please post all e-mails you have. We appreciate being warned of such business practices as the ones you're speaking of, but it really doesn't mean much without some kind of proof.

#1 ...Michelle said Jenny Bell was "busted" on another forum...didn't specifically say "banned".

#3 ...Michelle's profile says Michelle Radkey...but she signed her very first post as Michelle Rasmussen.

At the moment Michelle, all we see is she-said/she-said. If you come here making claims and someone disputes your claims, then you need to BACK THEM UP with the proof you say you have.
