Ben Siegel Reptiles does anyone have any feedback

I just completed the purchase of 10 more snakes from Ben over two different transactions; six were shipped to me last week (3.3 Tanimbar Scrub Python hatchlings) and I bought four more in person at the Tampa show (1.1 West Papuan Carpet Pythons and 1.1 D'Albert's Pythons). I coud not be happier! Thanks Ben. It was nice neeting you in person in Tampa!
 
I sold some stuff to Ben Siegel at the Tampa Show. He is the very best of buyers. Same as he is the best of sellers. Here comes another trader rating for you Ben. :cool:
 
Purchase a beautiful female genetic stripe 03 model from Ben. Very nice snake and great guy too!

Ben is

to say the least , considerate and very fair to deal with . I also would like to provide some acclocades to his employee, who are top notch in my book. Its a small family business that seems to have grown into an extended herp community. Clean atmosphere, quality animals, and pleasant people to deal with. JERRY
 
I've never bought a thing from him but I know his customer service is EXCELLENT! Whenever I have a question on an animal of his, he gets back to me right away and tells me all I need to know. Unfortunately, so far, I haven't found that perfect snake at his place....but if I ever do, I will NOT hesitate to buy.

Recently made another purchase from Ben - and again, I am very pleased. purchase with confidence!!
 
You can always buy with confidence from Ben
He is great person to deal with and very knowledgeable about reptiles. The store and cages are always clean and the animals are always healthy.
Have bought several snakes from Ben over the years and will continue to buy from him in the future.
 
I have made 2 purchases from Ben, both at Daytona shows and I couldn't be more pleased. Animals were properly represented in all aspects and the prices was more than fair. You can bet I will keep looking for Ben to do my reptile purchases in the future.

I purchased a very nice "whitewashed" Northern Blue-tongued Skink from Ben about 7 years ago, and she turned out to be the skink that started my Caramel line of Northern Blue-tongued Skinks! She was a great skink, and purchasing her from Ben was a pleasure. Ben and his wife are two of the nicest people I have ever delt with.
 
My husband & I have dealt with Ben & Stacy on a few occasions (shows & store); we have nothing but nice things to say about them, their snakes, their store & employees.
Looking forward to doing more business with them,

I've delt with Ben and Stacy in person many times. I'm local and go to their store. No problems, great people, nice clean store, don't think twice about purchasing!
 
I have been in the store multiple times and everything is very well cared for! I look forward to purchasing from Ben in the future.
 
I just received a pair of cherry head redfoot torts from Ben, and of course everything was perfect. Thanks again my friend.
 
Actually since this thread has come back up, guess I will throw in a little about some animals I got from Ben and Stacy recently.

I made two purchases with them a few weeks ago, and everything was as represented, packed well, and of amazing quality.
Thanks ben and stacy

I purchased a group of Dumeril's from Ben a couple of weeks ago and the transaction was smooth. He sent me some of the prettiest Dums I've seen in a long while and every one ate at the first attempt. I wouldn't hesitate to do business with Ben again.
 
On the advice of another breeder, I went to Ben for a 10 lot of normal BP females. Great communication, and very satisfied with the diverse 10 lot I received. I wouldn't hesitate to do business with him again in the near future.
 
Great guy to do business with :D I ordered 0.2 Ball pythons on Monday and received them today. Talk about speedy service :D The ball pythons are in great shape and are good looking animals too. I am looking forward to buying from Ben again.

Thanks.
 
Visited his shop a week ago...

My girlfriend and I did a whirlwind tour of Florida last week and we stopped in to visit his shop. Having worked in retail reptile shops for many years, I have a critical eye on stores. We arrived before the store opened and I was surprised that no one was there 15 minutes before the doors opened. Don't they need to clean and prep the store before opening? At 10 minutes til opening, two employees entered the store. At 5 minutes before opening, the store was opened for business.
We went in and were greeted and asked if assistance was needed. As we looked at the animals I was surprised that the cages were so clean. Obviously they had not been cleaned yet, but were maintained well enough not to need it at the moment. The selection of herps was great with specimens I don't normally see in a reptile shop. Highend and lowend animals were well represented. Meanwhile the employees were busy waiting on customers or cleaning and servicing cages. We were impressed. I only wish that the shops here in Austin could follow their example!

Just received another animal From Ben or I should say two animals. I ordered a tree Boa from him and when I opened the box I saw this very very tinsey tiny Boa in a Deli cup. My first thought was wow sure looked bigger in the photos!!! lol when I picked up the cup I noticed a snake bag under it with the animal I ordered. Called Ben to thank him and get the low down on the second Boa, it was one born at the shop and he decided to throw it in.

Ben's probably saying OH chit now everyone will expect a bonus!!! Thanks again Ben. Randy
