Customer satisfaction is of paramount importance to us so we need to be informed if you are not satisfied with your new reptile as soon as possible. If there is any thing wrong with your purchase, we will replace any animal for the cost of the return freight/shipping as long as if we are notified within 48 hours of your collection/ delivery.
