Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Underground Reptiles
I recently purchased a $250 sub-adult lavender mosaic Brooks kingsnake described as "male" and "approximately 43 inches". The snake I received is a 27 inch female. The snake appears healthy but I feel like such an obvious discrepancy is a deliberate misrepresentation.

I'm very sorry to hear this. I show no order under the name you have listed on this Fauna Account. If you were sent the wrong animal I will gladly pay to have it sent back, and provide you the proper animal or a full refund. Please tell me if there is a different name on the account and your order number. I apologize for the inconvenience and we will definitely make this right with you.

The name on the order is exactly as it is here, Jon Chrismond. I purchased the last lavender mosaic in stock, and your website now says out of stock, so I don’t know what you could possibly replace her with.

I'm sorry the name here said Jon Benjamin. That's where the confusion is. I show you received your shipment on the 3rd and we sent a follow up email to find out how the shipment was. I also called, but your voicemail is not set up. I need you to email me when you can with a picture of the animal on a tape measure, and I will get this animal shipped back for a full refund and I will also send you an additional discount for your next order to make up for this. Please send those photos to info@undergroundreptiles.com today, and I will get this taken care of for you right away. Thank you.

So many of us assume ill will when we don't get what we want. You said you don't know what they could possibly replace her with. Now that is the truth. You are not a reptile wholesaler that buys and sells hundreds of reptiles each week. So you wouldn't know...
I bet Rian Gittman will get it right. But...... Oh my gosh it might take a week or two....
I don't work for underground or even know them well. But if they want to stay in business they will satisfy their customers....

Also think about the fact that 4 days a week they ship between 75 and 200 animals. All boxed and packaged by minimum wage employees. Florida is a right to work state, so their minimum wage is considerably less than other states. My guess is they shipped out 5-8 of those snakes and put the wrong one in the wrong box.
I F'up several times a day. Be assertive and get what you paid for, but nothing is obvious. I am pretty sure that they did not purposely send you the wrong animal.

By the way, I have been catching and buying reptiles for more that 45 years. Businesses that don't serve their customers don't last very long. Yes, I am 60 years old.

If it were me I might even cut a deal with them. Rather than them paying to ship the girl back and ship another male. I would try to get them to ship a male for 1/3 the total cost..... A male can breed with several females in the same year....
Use this to your advantage....
