Anybody ever hear of Zooreptiles.com?

Question

do you think it's safe to buy a beardie over paypal?

Answer 1

I've never had any problems with buying animals on-line. The only exception is I usually know the breeders personally. When you buy animals on-line, you need to check the reputability of the seller.

if no one here as ever bought from "zooreptiles" you might have better luck at some reptile forums and ask around there.

in the mean time, read the terms on their website. or go to the "contact link" on their webpage and email or call them personally and ask about the particular animal you are interested in purchasing. ask them about its health/how long they have been breeding reptiles/if they go to any expos or if they are just a home based business.  from that conversation you can probably decide if they sound professional or not.

GOOD LUCK :)

Answer 2

I have heard of the site, but no, I dont think it is safe to buy a pet without having seen the pet in person. If the animal arrives, and is unhealthy, then what?

Answer 3

I agree with the first answer.  Never buy an animal without first seeing it in person.  It could be sick or become sick in transit.  Try Petfinder.com and find one that is within your area.  

Answer 4

No, never heard of it. I'm scared of online stores, but paypal is normally okay, but the seller is the one you need to worry about. Check the garentee they have and read it carefully. Try petco or petsmart or a local store before buying online.
