Underground Reptiles Stay away!!

There are bad apples in every group of society, some times really bad. I would hope that others would be able to distinguish the difference and only criticize the individual for his/her actions versus clumping them into the group.

This not only applies to religion (since this is the example), but also to us as herpers. Though there is a bonehead somewhere who lets his 16' retic sleep in his kid's bed at night, the rest of us sure would hate to be associated with him or judged by his actions.

For me religion is no different. A bad member of a faith or bad "preacher" doesn't necessarily mean the group is bad, it just means the individual is bad. You can always find an idiot in any group if you look long enough.

The Judge Judy video if anything was a great lesson on "verbal" contracts don't mean a thing and never assume anything.

All above true.

Absolutely. Great post.

To get back on the subject of this thread......
Underground Reptiles sent me 2 fat and healthy looking female geckos.
As I only asked for replacement on the one that was male, they went above what I asked for.

good to hear. Too bad it took an 18 page thread to fix a problem so miniscule

I think what is important is what its yet to come. They did go above and beyond with the geckoes. Maybe they are becoming more responsive. As I said, time will tell and hopefully, there won't be any more bad guy threads for them.
I'm going to wait and see.

Good luck with the 2 new girls, hope they both thrive for you!

I have recently bought a pair of Abronia from them the male has just past away today................

I am sooooo sooooo upset. I wish sometimes I could see this thread beforehand. First time shipping reptiles probably the last.

Ray, don't let one bad experience stop you, there are a lot of great breeders out there. You just have to do your research on the BOI. With all the bad ink I wonder how Underground stays in business. You can make money off a customer for life, but you only get to cheat them once!!!
