Eco Regional Reptiles

I did eventually make the purchase elsewhere. Never heard back from them at all.

Just a note in case this dealer is following along.... Bad feedback cost you my business.

I am in the process of filing a dispute with my credit card company. I was promised a refund for DOA'S and deaths within hours of receipt on supposed healthy animals...that was 2 months ago and still no refund. I was also over charged for one animal by $54. Now Andy will not return emails.

I guess I should have known better as the over charge seems to be something he does as I had the same over charge issue a few years ago, which was corrected.

Wow i had seen one of his adds and it looked to good to be true so i looked him up after the link to his website turned up a blank page. Glad i did luckily i ended up here instead of trying to buy from this guy thank you all so much for the warning. I hope this guy cleans up his act or gets booted. Guys like that are the reason i dont buy online very often.

On a previous thread I warned others about his credit card manipulations... In my case he not only short changed me, but still charge me the total amount... I had it resolved very quickly through my credit card company, but here is what should be done..

Notify Kingsnake about these violations.. This is not isolated but a continuous problem with this guy... Secondly, find out who his service provider is for his credit card terminal and threaten them unless he (Andy) stops abusing these sales, and finally, just keep everyone informed about his lousy business methods...

First, I've never done business with this company.
But what I am noticing lately, and really on Kingsnake, is more and more "posters" who.... don't have animals they are trying to sell.
They post ads/pictures... hoping to get buyers. If someone takes the bait, sends money... then they go out and get the animal(s).
Most of these people are in Florida, California and Texas.
Located around the major importers.....
So, if you put two and two together............
That is why you are seeing such long delays. They poster has no over head, no stock, no worries. But when they "sale" something, they don't know if the importer has any left in stock or not. Not a very good system.

What I would suggest, ask for a current picture of the animal your interested in. See if they actually have it.
I will not list the sellers who are doing this. But the list is growing...
Do your leg work... they are easy to spot.

understand how this guy is still in business or why he has not been bounced off of Kingsnake... He has no problem in taking your card, processing the order and then as in many cases, not shipping... If people would just notify Kingsnake and the card service provider this would stop as his only other method would be PayPal and who knows what destruction he has caused there....

In order to safeguard your own puchase, I would only give him a window of opportunity of 1 or 2 days to ship... Otherwise as just recently occurred from someone I know personally: called up Eco, placed an order, never received the invertebrates, but was charged... Explanation from Dewey: the order was lost !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! One excuse after another.... You may be right. He may not have the inventory as was the case when I placed my one and only order....

Be very careful with this seller... Thants all I can tell you... JERRY

I read this forum daily and usually dont have a lot to say... but I ordered a pair and a trio of Uroplatus from him and when the box arrived only the pair was in there... I called and he answered and explained he thought the other pair was in there.... he did send them out at his expense.... within in 10 days all were dead... no response to emails or phone calls...

Common problem with him.....missing something in his shipments.

As far as them dying.....well, thats the risk u take with wild caughts.........its a gamble. Ive lost dozens of Chams within weeks of buying and not just from Andy. So, cant really blame him on that one........
