At Prime Reptilesco, we take pride in delivering your reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates safely and efficiently—right to your doorstep. With over a decade of experience in breeding and shipping live animals worldwide, we ensure that every package is handled with the utmost care.

Shipping Methods & Costs

All live reptiles, amphibians, tarantulas, and scorpions are shipped via overnight delivery for a flat rate of $49.99, no matter how many animals you order. Whether you purchase one gecko or 100 frogs, your shipping cost remains the same—just $49.99.

Please Note:

• If a product is on sale and you order more than five of that item, shipping rates may increase.

• Feeder insect orders do not require a signature upon delivery, but all other live animal shipments do.

Signature Requirement & Pickup Options

For the safety of your animals, a signature is required at the destination address. If you won’t be available to sign, you can opt to have your package held at your local FedEx facility for pickup.

Order Processing & Shipment Schedule

We ship orders Monday through Thursday to ensure your animals arrive before the weekend. Here’s our shipping schedule:

• Orders placed Sunday–Wednesday → Shipped the next business day.

• Orders placed Thursday–Saturday → Shipped the following Monday.

Once your order ships, you’ll receive a tracking number via email by 8 PM EST on the shipment day.

Packaging & Safety

Your animals’ safety is our top priority. Our shipping experts use:

• Insulated, industry-standard boxes

• Cryopacks, heat packs, or ice packs (depending on seasonal temperatures)

• Secure, stress-free packaging perfected over years of experience

Inventory & Order Fulfillment

We strive to keep our website stock updated, but occasionally, high demand or delays may occur. If we’re unable to fulfill your order, we’ll notify you promptly.

Shipping Restrictions

We ship worldwide, with the following exceptions:

• No shipping to Hawaii (due to state regulations)

• No deliveries on major U.S. holidays (New Year’s Day, Independence Day, Memorial Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas)

Weather & Shipping Delays

While rare, delays can happen due to extreme weather or carrier issues. If this occurs, we’ll notify you immediately and work to ensure your animals arrive safely.

Wildlife Laws & Compliance

Every U.S. state has unique wildlife regulations, and we strictly adhere to all federal, state, and local laws. Before ordering, please research your local laws—we cannot ship animals in violation of any regulations.
