Important-Please read carefully

Sales:

To purchase a snake follow the steps below:

1) Read our terms - if you agree to our terms of doing business then send us an confirmation e-mail and go to step two; if you do not agree to our terms, then we reserve the right to not do business with you. 2) Contact us via e-mail or telephone to cover the details of the transaction: (951)807-7598 or scalybabies1@aol.com.  3) Send payment - the two methods of payment we prefer are PayPal and postal money orders; if you send us payment, then you are agreeing to our terms.  4) Choose a shipping date - we ship on Monday through Thursday only.  5) Make the proper caging and heating arrangements for your new snake.

Our Terms:
  • You will need to make arrangements to receive the shipment.  If you are not present to receive your shipment then your reptile is in danger of being stolen, becoming excessively cold, or overheating.  It is very important that you or somebody you trust is present at the time of delivery.  You will need to check the condition of your reptile as soon as possible.
  • We guarantee live arrival, if there is a problem with the condition of your snake, then contact us immediately.  In a worse case scenario you will have to send us a digital photo within 12 hours of delivery for verification that your snake was DOA.  We will refund the cost of the snake; however, we cannot afford to refund the shipping cost, our business is hobby based so we cannot afford such losses.  Shipping may be refunded in the case of a lost package.  I have never had any problems with shipping or receiving snakes.
  • We ship via shipyourreptiles.com in industry standard insulated boxes.  We will delay shipment in extreme weather conditions, if a snake is in shed, or if a snake has been fed to close to a proposed shipping date.  All snakes must be sent with overnight delivery.
  • We will not ship any snakes until your payment has been received by us.
  • If for some reason you are unhappy with the snake that we send you, you can ship the animal back to us and we will refund the cost of the snake upon its safe return to us; however, we will not refund the return shipping cost for the same reason mentioned above.
  • If you send payment to us, then you are agreeing to our terms of sales.
  • Do not release any pet snake into the wild or your neighborhood, it is illegal to release a pet anywhere.  Irresponsible snake owners that release a captive bred snake are essentially killing that snake or in very rare situations potentially causing damage to the local natural ecology.  The illegal release of snakes has caused the hobby of snake keeping and breeding much unwanted negative publicity and harm.  Owning a pet comes with the responsibilities of proper care and feeding, proper caging, and the proper relinquishing of the pet.  If you need help relinquishing your pet snake, then please contact us, we may be able to help.  Never release a pet snake into the wild!
