Expected more personalized attention given their reputation. The consultant seemed to give generic advice that I could have found online. Also felt rushed during the call despite paying premium rates.

Called them for help with my bearded dragon's habitat setup and they were incredibly knowledgeable. The consultant walked me through proper heating, lighting, and substrate choices. My dragon has been much more active since following their recommendations.
Expected more personalized attention given their reputation. The consultant seemed to give generic advice that I could have found online. Also felt rushed during the call despite paying premium rates.
The reptile specialist was very helpful and answered all my questions about turtle care. However, it took them three days to get back to my initial inquiry, which was frustrating when dealing with a sick animal.
These folks are passionate about what they do and it shows. They spent over an hour helping me understand my iguana's dietary needs and even followed up a week later to check how things were going. Highly recommend for any reptile owner.
As a first-time snake owner, I was overwhelmed with all the conflicting information online. They provided clear, practical guidance that made everything much less intimidating. My corn snake is thriving thanks to their help.
The initial consultation was thorough and informative, but when I had follow-up questions, the responses felt rushed and less detailed. For the price point, I expected more consistent service quality.
They definitely know their stuff when it comes to reptile care. The advice was spot-on and helped solve my gecko's feeding issues. Only downside is the consultation fee was higher than expected, but I guess you pay for expertise.
Great experience overall. They helped me set up a proper vivarium for my chameleon and provided ongoing support via email. Really appreciate their attention to detail.
My ball python wasn't eating for weeks and I was panicking. These guys diagnosed a humidity issue and recommended specific changes to the enclosure. Within days my snake was back to normal eating patterns. Cannot thank them enough!
The advice was solid and helped improve my leopard gecko's setup. Only complaint is they're not available evenings or weekends, which can be tough when you have a day job.
They answered my questions about tortoise hibernation adequately. Nothing exceptional but got the job done. Would probably shop around more next time to compare options.
