    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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....

Has anyone done any business with this site? I was thinking of ordering from them but figured id better check here first.
 
I have not but saw a lot of older post on them..
However also chatted with a individual on a different forum with Chams... who was very happy with his order, that was this year.. I was considering ordering myself, but they did not per the website the time have them in stock..

So cannot give a plus or minus... but I did want to give them a try... I don't know if they keep their website up to date as much as they should... with a shopping cart option that is kind of important, but better they list not in stock then take payment for sold out animals..

I ordered from a different supplier, Who did have what I was looking for.. I was worried about using them... no really bad BOI comments.. a month later.. nothing and no response to my chargeback yet.. so?? I may be posting a BOI thread if after a reasonable amount of time I Don't get anywhere.. sigh..
 
Amanda, Please stick to the topic...and consider reading the rules for posting on the BOI.
 
First Choice, made a purchase of Chameleons in December and it was sent to the wrong address and then they sent half the order to the correct address, and it died in two days, Oustalets chameleons, anyhow, they apologized and said they would take care of the problem and replace my animals with something else since I did not like how the chameleons turned out, and I'd check periodically to see if they had any of the animals I was interested in, well, this went on for 4 months and I believe they even blocked my number, so I recently contacted my banking company and made a transaction dispute.

Their prices are not even good for wild caught specimens.

I am not going to do business with them in the future
 
First Choice Reptiles deals with a lot of imported reptiles.

Its always a gamble getting WCs that they may fail to acclimate to captivity.

I have talked to FCR at shows and on their facebook page and they are always nice and willing to answer my questions.
 
I just purchased a frog from them and I'm having a hard time reaching them cause the animal is lost. The number that's on the site doesn't work and he hasn't responded.
 
Purchased a WC ETB from them. They were very accommodating and responsive through email, allowed me pick of their stock, no issues shipping. She ended up passing away, but I see it as buyer beware when getting WC, especially with such a finicky species, so.
