No hissing, just happiness 🐍😊
My local reptile store unfortunately closed, so I moved to buying my pythons feed online.
This is my first experience of using Reptiles by Post and I'm really pleased. The rats are clean, as per expected weight, packed brilliantly. Its worth noting that as my first order it was small as I wanted to check quality - and even in the hot weather, the food arrived frozen.
Very happy. Will be using this supplier again.

EXCELLENT PRODUCT!
Very satisfied with the product (fruit fly culture) which arrived well-packaged and on time.
The culture produced an abundance of fruit flies...and I have just ordered another one!
Would not hesitate to recommend this seller. 👍👍👍

The flightless fruit flies are ideal for my wildlife pond, the newts ate them straight away. Also the earthworms are very healthy, I ordered size small but they were not small enough for the newts, however our visiting Black Bird and Robin are having a little feast everyday with these. Will order again.
