PRODUCT PURCHASES
Products / Supplies
We only ship to residences and places of business. We do not ship to P.O. Boxes, hotels, etc.
All products and supplies are shipped via FedEx Ground, USPS Priority, or LTL Freight - whichever offers the best rate for the order size/weight. Depending on what you order and the quantity you order, we typically ship within 1 - 3 business days after receiving an order, with an average of same day shipping. Transit time is based on your location from our warehouse. We are conveniently located in central USA (Bonham, TX).
HELPFUL TIP: If you plan to order a particular item in bulk, or plan to order an item often, please let us know and we will be sure to keep that item in stock for you at all times.
Lost or Stolen Items
We will NOT be held responsible for any lost or stolen items after an order has been delivered. If you have a problem with "porch pirates" stealing packages in your neighborhood, you will need to remedy the situation on your end before placing an order.
While most of the time this shouldn't be a problem, our responsibility as a supplier ends when we submit the package to the shipping carrier. We can accommodate any requests made to place a package in a particular area (e.g. by the gate, around the side of the house, etc.), if needed. Please be sure to add this info in the comment section during checkout.

ANIMAL PURCHASES
PLEASE NOTE: Having multiple stores makes it difficult to keep our website up to date with accurate animal availability. Because of this, we suggest that you email or call us for availability on any particular species before placing your order.
Live Arrival Guarantee
We guarantee all animals we ship to arrive alive and healthy, as well as properly sexed (when possible). We do not guarantee live arrival on animals that are not accepted on the first delivery attempt. You MUST have someone available to accept the package (18 years or older). In an unfortunate event where an animal does not arrive in perfect health, notification must be made within the first 24 hours upon receiving the animal (shown on the FedEx tracking website). If you ever have any questions, concerns or any type of issues whatsoever, we expect you to contact us first so that we have the opportunity to remedy the situation.
IMPORTANT: Our guarantee will automatically become void if you do not have the proper environment set up for the animal; which includes proper enclosure type/size, temperatures, bedding, lighting, etc. Be sure you thoroughly research an animal(s) BEFORE you purchase. When in doubt, ask us! We offer the best advice in the industry and are always here to help.
Shipping Methods
Animals are shipped Monday - Wednesday via FedEx next day delivery (once a ship date has been determined). Shipping for small animals runs $59.95 anywhere in the continental U.S. Be sure to select the correct shipping option during checkout. Larger animals will need a custom shipping quote and will mainly depend on the size/weight of the box.
NOTE: The above shipping charge is per box, not per animal. Meaning, if we can safely and comfortably fit more than one animal in the same box we will. However, if more than one box is needed then added shipping will be necessary. You will be notified either way.
After confirming a shipping date with you - a day/time when someone will be available to accept the package - we will then schedule to ship your order at 4:00pm (PST) the day before. Typical overnight shipments arrive at your door by 10:30am the very next morning; by 12:00pm noon if you live outside of normal city limits and by 4:00pm if you live in a rural or remote area.
IMPORTANT: Someone must be available to accept the package on the first delivery attempt, otherwise our live guarantee becomes void. We DO NOT ship live animals to FedEx locations.
Weather Conditions
We pack animals according to the current weather conditions in your area. When we feel that it is necessary to add a heat or cold pack to your box to ensure the animal arrives safe and sound, we will do so at no extra cost to you. Since we cannot guarantee your animal arriving safely when temperatures are above 95 degrees F or below 35 degrees F, we will not ship until temps are suitable.
Returns & Exchanges
Animal returns should be avoided as it puts much unnecessary stress on the animal. However, if absolutely necessary, you will be responsible for shipping the animal back. The animal must be packed properly - the same way we sent it to you - and arrive alive and healthy. Once an animal arrives back at our facility we will inspect it to make sure it's in the same condition as we sent it. If so, we will then provide you with store credit for the original amount you paid for the animal. Shipping costs are nonrefundable. We do not offer cash refunds on animals.
Accepted Payment Types
We accept Money Orders, Cashier's Checks, PayPal and the following credit cards: Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express. Please be sure Money Orders and Cashier's Checks are made payable to, The Serpentarium, Inc.
FEEDER PURCHASES
We only ship feeder orders Monday - Wednesday. Please be sure to plan your orders accordingly.
