Thomas "Rockabirdie Reptiles"

Thomas is a good honest man in my book. He has purchased from us and is a good customer and I'm sure he is a good business man as well. The species you purchased from him is a very fragile species. Is difficult to acclimate in captivity but once you do they are great. They dont do well in shipping unless they stay some what humid. So damp sponges help or shipped on damp moss. Also shipped in seperate containers helps as the males can get aggressive towards others that are put in a tight area with them. Well I'm sure Thomas will do whatever he can to make it right hes an honest person.

Just to make a very general observation...IMO...anyone who ships 2 day through the post office to save a few bucks, especially when shipping a delicate species, has little or no regard for their animals.

There is simply no excuse for it!

The shipping was a mistake. It shipped usps express next day. I was told it would be next day.

USPS has no guaranteed overnight delivery of any sort. Anyone using them should know that

You may want to do your research, before commenting. May save yourself some embarrassment.

USPS Express is 1-2 day in most areas. The "overnight" only actually works if the package is dropped off in a very specific time frame. It is not reliable for the most part, and the insurance does not count on shipments of live animals of any kind.

I do shipping as part of my job. We ship most of our packages via USPS, I am very familiar with their policies.

See that nifty little asterix next to the word Guarantee? That's the one you have to research. They only guarantee it if you drop off at certain locations and zip codes and are shipping to certain zip codes. If you ask at the Post Office, they will tell you point blank it is one to two days.

Make sure you have done your own research before you comment on someone else's. I have been shipping reptiles for 20 year. There is not much you can school me on.

Either raise the price on your animals a few bucks, charge a little more for shipping or eat the difference.

I repeat...no one who gives a crap about their animals ships USPS

Before anyone gets started on a breeding project with those guys I would:

1) Stabilize the animals and get them into good condition so that...

2) You can get rid of every single endo-parasite possible



And then think about breeding.

I personally would not let anyone send me any animals any method other than

1) Fed-ex direct to a fed-ex hub. Where I pick the critters up as soon as they are in.

2) Delta-dash if the seller insists.

No. I'm saying that the male sent to the buyer does not have the same dorsal spikes as the 3 pics the op took. Might be camera angle but they don't look like the same animal imo.
