Live Animal Shipping & Pickup Information
Temperature-Controlled Overnight Shipping: All live orders ship exclusively via specialized overnight freight to guarantee safe arrival by noon the next day. Shipments are climate-monitored and packed in insulated boxes with heat or cold packs as weather dictates. Note: our live arrival guarantee requires a signature upon the very first delivery attempt.
Local NJ Pickup (Advance Notice Required): Because our animals are kept under strict bio-security protocols at our off-site breeding facility, they are not housed on our main storefront shelves. You are welcome to pick up, but we require advance notice so our team can coordinate the drop-off to our main retail storefront. Alternatively, pickup can be arranged directly at our Northern New Jersey breeding facility. Please contact us after checkout to coordinate your pickup location and time.
Trade Show Pickup: We attend lots of reptile and exotic trade shows throughout the year, and you can arrange to pick up your order with us at a show — saving on shipping. Check our current show listings on our website and contact us after checkout to reserve your animal for pickup at an upcoming event.
