An add is on the classifieds for Yemen Chameleons babies being sold that are only two weeks old. I have emailed the seller to politely raise my concerns that they are being sold so young. None of my business really but there you go.

Well done.. They are too fragile to sell at that young age, if you ask me..

I too saw this and emailed the seller saying that I was interested and at what age would they actually be ready to be re homed? as obviously he wouldn't be letting them go this early. I have no interest whatsover in buying from him I am just awaiting his reply, whereby I will confirm what Rick has quite rightly pointed out.
love Jan |

My wife phoned Living Reef Aquatics for a quote of a hatchling Brazilian rainbow boa. He first quoted £135 he then quickly changed his mind and said the price was £245.  Other shops had quoted £170-£180 for the same size snake. He then told my wife that the web site wasn't working but she could e-mail any requests to his personal e-mail address SUC69 or FUC69 @------.com.

I visited their a couple of months ago and was quite impressed, I also had quite a long chat with the owner and he seemed quite helpful.
Prices didn't seem too out of line with the average Reptile Store price.
My only concern, was that had some Crocodile Skinks (I hadn't come across them before), and upon reading up on them later, discovered that they should be kept in a humid setup, which they weren't.
However, I have not purchased anything from the shop, so I can't speak for the quality of the animals. |
