After waiting for months on another website for the animal I wanted, I requested a refund and decided to try willow reptiles. To my delight, the animal showed up within a 2 days, healthy, hungry, and full of life! On the same day, the owners provided me with thorough care instructions for a hatchling (which was super nice of them) and offered tips to enhance my habitat. Like I mentioned, I’d give them 10 stars if it were possible. Oh, and just so you know, I’m still waiting on that refund check from the other site.

I got myself a male armadillo lizard , and let me tell ya, he arrived in great shape and nice and toasty. He jumped right into his terrarium, started munching and sipping, and he’s been thriving ever since. They delivered exactly what they promised

We placed our order for the turtles back in July 2024. They showed up in great shape, each in their own little boxes. The packing was super secure. Fast forward to February 2025, and they’re still thriving! I had a solid experience with customer service and would give it an A+.

Willowreptiles delivered exactly what I was looking for – healthy and amazing lizard. About a month ago, I ordered three juvenile armadillo lizards, and they arrived all nicely packaged
