Well,

I needed some more adult red eye tree frog breeders and I have been looking for over a month now and this is the only place I could find them.
Reptiles for Sale

I emailed sales@backwaterreptile.com and requested 4-15 adult red eyes.

Sam replies "YES WE HAVE TONS".

I replied I am looking to get 4-15 Perfectly Visible healthy and fat frogs off you (meaning if they look healthy to ship and receive) and if they are captive bred or wild-caught and if they are wild-caught would they possibly know where they were caught from specifically? Photos if possible but not required

Heres the email sam replied with:

Hi Corey,


To be honest, any time a customer says, "It must be PERFECT and X, and Y, and Z..." they lose me. No company will ever guarantee an animal to be perfect. I'd recommend purchasing at a reptile expo where you can see the actual animal you're purchasing, etc.


For what it's worth, the med/larges are wild caught, the smalls are cb.


Thanks,

Sam

Im guessing he either missed the part where I said perfectly VISIBLE HEALTH AND FAT. -or- they clearly don't have any VISIBLY healthy fat frogs. Either way I am unable to purchase from them now because of this and I am more than discontent. I guess Ill be searching around across the country then.

What gets me is that on their home page down at the bottom it states this:

"When you buy amphibians from us, you can rest assured they are fully guaranteed to arrive alive and in great condition." Well Im not rest assured

Well I give them a zero star review. Sad day for me =/. I expect better from a company or at least an attempt to accommodate a customers needs. Id even accept.

"Unfortunately we cant guarantee the health of the frogs you receive but here is what we can offer you BLANK, BLANK, and BLANK."
No attempt was made to complete a sale. BAD BAD! =(
