    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Anyone done business with Monster Pet Shop?

I am looking to purchase some animals from them this week and would like some feedback. I searched the BOI and found several posts from Monster Pet Shop regarding others, but none with reference to transactions completed with them. If you have purchased animals from them, can you provide the name of the person you dealt with, as it is not listed in any of their posts.

Thanks in advance!
 
Guess not....
Doesn't mean anything though... do they have a web page?

You never stopped back by the other day...

I just ordered some crickets. I'll post feedback for them when I receive them.
They do respond to emails very fast.
 
my dealings

They posted personal adds in the Recycler paper on-line wanting peoples unwanted reptiles. I contacted them and they said they were a business and were looking to get reptiles for resale. They were basicly picking up reptiles from whoever and re-selling them as soon as they got them. I recalled back a couple of weeks later in reply to there add and they at that tiime said they were not a business and just wanted them as personal pets. They did have a posting on kingsnake in an add stating that you would need to ship your reples to them and once they got them and they were in the condition they wanted then they would send you your money. I personally would not purchase from them but that is just my opinion :) If they are selling CB reptiles then possibly ask for a feeding and birth record and see what they say.

If it is insects you are looking for then please update us if you order from them and let us know how they are. My dealings with them only were about the reptiles. Good luck.
 
Same deal....

Just my guess but hos crickets aren't going to have their business name anywhere on the box. Kind of like Worm mans... they are just a broker. Alot of times you can get ahold of the people that actually do raise the crickets and get them cheaper if you discuss ordering from them for a year or two.
Anyone know if they just broker the crickets?
 
I think so. Same with LLLreptile they get theres from American cricket ranch but it is cheeper to get them through LLL then the deeler himself unless you see them at a show and then it is a great deal.

I have no idea who they get them from.
 
Update!

I spoke to the owner on the phone yesterday and it turns out i know him! Small world huh? My best friend owns a reptile store and Damien (owner of Monster Pet Store) used to work for him. My friend told me that Damien was the hardest working employee he had seen in years. Damien has sent me individual pics of the animals I will be getting from him and I will let you guys know how everything gos. Also, Damien actually breeds crickets rather than brokering them.

Thanks everyone.
 
Solid Order

Mike (P-Diddy I mean :D ),

Hey bud, I did order crickets from them and they arrived on time and in good shape (minimal dead numbers).

Ackie eggs hatch yet ?

Later, Steve
