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.

Reptile Basics
I just want to add to this thread. LOVE Reptile Basics. I have ordered a few times and have had nothing but amazing results and great quality. Rich even took the time to talk me through a few things prior to ordering our CB70 rack.
Really good company with quality merchandise!!

Reptile Basics
I am NOT bashing them as I will continue to buy from them. I DID have a problem with my first purchase with them. I bought a wired Ranco, about 40 hide boxes, 15ft of Heat tape and clipsets. My first purchase was almost 400.00.
When I received my items, it took about a month... The clipsets were ALL one side. The Ranco wouldnt even work. It wasnt even completely wired. I DID love their hide boxes though.
The Ranco, I ended up buying a new one since on their TOS its null and void if you buy a wired one at the time. I didnt take it up with them because I knew what I was buying based on their TOS. I ended up buying another one from another dealer was my way of dealing with it.
As for the Flexwatt and clipsets... I ended up going to Ken Foose of Exotic Pets in Vegas who sold me 25 matching sets and made ABSOLUTELY sure his employee got me the complete sets. It was local for me and I needed them immediately.
Their hide boxes, in my opinion, should be in EVERYONES aresenal for proper husbandry. Bar none, I have yet to see anything close for the price they offer theirs for.
Rich did talk to me personally to let me know what the holdup was on shipping so I have nothing to complain about there.
All in all, I will continue to buy from Reptile Basics Inc. I see them as a positive in our industry. I just make sure what I purchase I shouldnt have any issues with. I know that if I called and complained, Rich would more than likely have taken care of me. I was just frustrated having to wait so long for everything and then it seemed like nothing worked, except for the hides. I didnt want to wait any longer so I did what I needed to do.
RBI is a good company and I would NEVER say that they are bad or were bad in my transaction. I think it was just unfortunate that the Ranco I received did not work. As for the clips, its easy to make that mistake as well.

Dean, I bet he would have if you asked as well. Regardless of TOS.
It has been a long time since I purchased anything from Rich (maybe a few years), but as I recall I never had a issue and everything still works.

Dennis,
I totally agree with you on that. I will still be a Reptile Basics customer as long as I am in need. He treated me fairly and with respect. Great customer service skills.
Its just the type of person that I am when I purchase something and I dont like it... I just buy it from someone else and give them a chance. I feel bad even posting here what might be construed as negative because I am not negative when it comes to RBI. I just chose a different route was all.

We love these guys. I agree with Dean, the hideboxes are excellent- sturdy, easy to clean, and completely reasonable in price. We've made several purchases over the last few years and everything has come in quickly and packed well. If there are any glitches, they're sure to take care of them right away.
