I recently tried reptilebasics.com, for the first time, to order some supplies online. Shipping was fast. Products were exactly as described. Pricing was very reasonable. I recommend Reptile Basics Inc..

I'm not going to throw Bobby under the bus, but his customer service skills are not very good! My situation could have been handled more professionally. Now instead of a happy customer and a repeat customer, They have unhappy customer who will not be back

Tip for consumers:
Shop around before you buy, go with a business you know you can trust to do the right thing if you run into a problem or issue

I ordered some heat tape. $20 purchase before shipping. It never arrived. Sometimes packages are late I order a lot of stuff and it happens to me often. I reached out extremely friendly. My response was minimal and rude. I was told that it had been ALMOST a month. Not even a month from purchase. They then stopped responding to me, never refunded me, nothing. Thanks Bobby. Your heat panels where already questionable with the plugs. Now I get hassled and robbed out of $20+. I hope nobody EVER gives them their business again. They certainly won't be getting mine.

Placed an order for the VE-super 70 rack and came within 2 weeks and had no issues putting together. The bins came in a separate box however arrived cracked in all the same corner from shipping. I reached out to Bobby and he immediately sent new ones. Im very pleased and couldnt be more appreciative. Thanks again.

Tip for consumers:
Very easy to navigate and get exactly what you need.

Products used:

Wanting to see if I was double billed for an order and the guy on the phone, instead of looking the order up, made the interaction very difficult by insisting I send an email rather than him looking it up while we were on the phone. Then proceeds to suggest that I am unreasonable for wanting this information as we spoke. I would not recommend this company for anything whatsoever!

Bobby gave incorrect advise and will not accept a return. I was prepared to purchase a radiant heat panel, a thermostat together both items would have been over $250 in sales. He is willing to lose a LARGE sale over a useless $37 bulb. Very bad business practices. Do yourself a favor and shop elsewhere.

Yall DO NOT order from this company. I spent over 100 dollars on lights. As their website says to allow 5-7 days for processing. I hadn't heard anything as of day 6 so I reached out via email. I got a response that was very basic... simply asked for more days... would specify how many more days just that they needed more days... which I'm okay with, but give me a time line. Bobby also offered me a refund, I told him at this time I wasn't interested in that (as I've already waited 6 days) but should I chose to ill have my bank do it so I dont have to wait ANOTHER 6 days to get my money... i guess he didn't like that answer and canceled my order despite me telling him that's not what I was wanting... simply wanted a time line for when my items will ship... Moral of the story is stay away from this company, spend your money with a company that cares about their customers/clients.

Reptilebasics.com has excellent hides for a great price. I have ordered from them multiple times & have never had a bad experience. I would give 5 stars but they are often "out of stock" on items I need to order. Some larger hides i have from them have warped over time also. Overall I would recommend ordering from them.

I never got my item from them and asked them for a refund and i was rudely told i should shop elsewhere. I will never shop at this place again especially with their nasty attitude.
