    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....

I'm planning on picking up a pair of mangrove snakes from LLL reptile soon and I was wondering about anyone else's expierences with LLL and their mangrove snake or just plain customer service and if it's a good idea to go through them. Thanks, Ran Hendrix
 
there have been a few positives and negatives I've read about LLL. i dont recall reading anything in particular about a mangrove though. in the top right hand section of the BOI listings, search for LLL that will yield all posts about them. I think they have a reasonable guarantee from what I've read.
 
They have good customer service. I wouldn't worry too much about that. Just communicate with them, try to find out as much as you can about the snake in particular (is it eating? How long has it been in captivity? etc.) before getting it so no surprises.
 
from what I've read in those threads though, they've always tried to make it right. Plus keep in mind that there are more than just one of their store fronts. So maybe find out which ones are getting a bad review?
 
I've had decent experiences with them. As a large operation they are not as flexible about some things, say holding on to an animal for a few weeks before shipping, and the animals don't seem to get the same personal touch they would with a smaller business. Merchandise in, merchandise out. If they had an animal i wanted, i couldn't get it anywhere else and it seemed healthy from the pics i would use them. I wouldn't want an animal they've had in their care for any extended period however.
 
The mangroves are probably WC and could tank on a dime, coming from almost any store, but when I saw the mangroves at LLLs booth at the last Anaheim show they looked good.
 
Well if something goes wrong at least you know they'll replace them if it's reasonable to do so, like others have said, it's WC so anything is possible. Plan on spending a good chunk of change with a vet trying to remove all the parasites and if you cannot quarantine properly, then I'd steer clear.
 
I've never purchased Mangrove from them, but have gotten one of their albino Whitewater Rosy boas. I requested a healthy female with a docile temperament and that was exactly what I got. Flawless animal. Great customer service and I wouldn't hesitate to do business with them again in the future next time they have something I'm looking for.
