Internet Reptile Reviews 

My birds love the mealworms received from Internet Reptile. Very quick delivery. Worms quite small when they arrive so plenty of time before they go on to the next stage of their lifecycle. If you buy 500g you probably get another 500g out of them by the time the next delivery arrives. I over-fed last week's shipment with too much wet food. I'm going to keep them on a net so they get air circulating under them. (A bird food catching net in the bottom of a Gorilla tub). I've noticed that the worms like the net if I accidentally leave it in there. (I use it to sieve the bran away from them before deploying for the birds).

They get fed oat bran, grated carrot, lettuce leaves, banana, potato, mango & melon peel. I gave them a sprinkle of brewer's yeast last week - to supplement the bird's diet. Last year I was sprinkling a little milk powder and wheatgerm into their feed - I've not done that this year. I buy them because tits, robins, dunnocks use mealworms to hydrate their chicks. They cannot carry water in their beaks or crops - unlike our lovely woodpigeon!

Handy and prompt and very professional great for me being housebound been great the hole time of using which is approximately 6 years

Ordered flightless fruit flies for my son and was amazed at how fast they arrived! Great size tub and perfect looking flies for him to feed to his ants 🐜 thanks again defo be ordering again

Some items never arrived. Emailed you five times with no reply absolute Rubbish service.

Order arrived promptly and well packaged -Insect livestock were in great condition.

I have never encountered any issues with the company's ordering process. The website is well organized and facilitates an easy assessment of the item you require. It is consistently posted promptly and is packaged efficiently.

Everything was well communicated, product arrived on time and was a good price

I knew exactly what I wanted and chose IR for its great pricing. Website was easy to navigate and item was delivered in good time. Got a nice email from one of the owners thanking me for my first purchase and inviting me to reply with feedback. Although it wasn’t a personal email I appreciated it. I’m so happy with my mealworms and bug factory.

Ordered a cork background for my vivarium, £50+. Receive an e mail saying it was being packed and they would send a further email with despatch details. Didn't hear anymore for a week. Chased the order and I had an email back saying the order was cancelled at my request and a refund would be raised. Wouldn't have minded an apology if they had no stock but an annoying response instead.

This is probably the worst experience I've had with an online reptile retailer.

I ordered 2 clean up crews, and extra isopods. I received a damaged box (which might have been OK if their warehouse had put any packaging inside the box) and in total I had 3 worms and 1 tub of isopods left. The rest have either died, been squashed, or lost during delivery.

I contacted them and they won't help me, despite me sending photos, because I need to send a list of every tub impacted (out of 20 odd tubs there was 1 that was fine, oh and the 3 loose worms in the box) with a clear photo of eachz detailing the issue. Seems fair on first glance? But they ignored my email from early afternoon yesterday and only replied this morning. They actually expected me to keep the box in the house? No, it's in the bin. I did try and phone them but the guy on the phone didn't care less and told me email was the only option.

Their attitude is the worst part. The online reptile community in the UK is so small, yet they are happy to treat a customer like they did something wrong rather than just refund, resend, or resolve. But no, the money is worth more than future business apparently.

Be careful, they are great until something goes wrong and then they don't care.

Internet Reptile are fantastic.
Always fresh live foods delivered and always on time. Great prices too.
The service here is brilliant 10/10.
If you haven't looked at Internet Reptile web pages please go look.
Amazing store.

They are my go too for my geckos quality live foods delivered to your door

Order was delivered quickly, which was good. Issue with the live plant I ordered, as it was missing.
Had to email Internet Reptile to ask why, only to be given an immediate refund and told my item was out of stock. Whilst the quick response was good the lack of proactiveness on the shops part is disappointing. Why should a customer have to reach out to find out why an item was missing? Surely this should have been know when dispatching the order? Won't be ordering again from them.

We're a budgie charity in the north west & have had a great experiences buying from these guys. We buy our UV bulbs & cork bark products - all great availability on the website, delivery & packaging etc. Fully recommended!

I placed an order to set up our first vivarium for my daughter's bearded dragon.
The items we're posted in excellent time and really well packaged.
Sadly, we had an out of box failure of a Uvb light, I contacted Internet reprile and they advised me to return the bulb free post and replaced it under warranty.
I cannot fault them and wouldn't hesitate to purchase more items as required.

Fast delivery, good quality of live food and always in stock of what you need. As a tarantula hobbyist it’s difficult to find good quality live food when you need it and internet reptile never disappoint

Brilliant service would highly recommend

I ordered a LumenIZE UV lamp holder with a T5 lamp included. The order arrived without the T5 lamp, just the holder. Apparently, this was a returned item: the LumenIZE module also had a custom password set up that I had to reset. It's obvious that they my order was not checked before posting.

That was fair enough. The real problem was that it took me a week to reach Internet Reptile's customer service to get them send me the missing lamp. I emailed to their support email several times. Including replying to their repeating automated follow-up emails "from the owner" that stated how valued a customer I was and recommended to write back with any questions or suggestions. None of my emails was ever answered.

The only way I managed to reach them was by calling the physical shop who promised to "escalate" my issue. A couple of days after this, the missing lamp was posted, still without any apologies or explanation.

I got the complete order in the end. But the experience was not nice. It's a shame given that I had ordered from this site several times since 2019 and had never had issues. Rating with 3 starts in the hope that someone from the shop notices and investigates what went wrong and what can be improved.

brilliant service. from ordering to delivery was about 48 hours
