Haven't dealt with them personally.
Did check their website, import/export business, dealing with many exotic species. The "red flag", to me, is the use of common names on the site. I deal with sites and board members that use scientific and sometimes the common name in their description.Common names are too confusing best to use scientific names. Many tarantulas have "bird eater" in the common names and are from different sub families.
Aside from that, the prices on there seem reasonable.
If you use them please post and let us know your experience.
Btw, have you browsed the "classified" section on the forum. Many great people to do business with, I would suggest Paul Becker at petcenterusa.com, has a sale going on now. Super friendly, knowledgeable, great specimens and in the top 5 packer/shippers in the U.S. [emoji3] [emoji106]

Okay so I have an update for you guys about First Choice Reptiles. It doesn't matter what day you order or purchase your T or reptile, because it takes them 2-3 days just to process your order. After the 2-3 days they will send you your shipping info but they are not like every one else so if you order it on a Monday the earliest you will get it is Friday if not later.
