Below are the terms and conditions governing this website, its visitors, and all transactions therein.

Welcome to https://exoticpetreptilesforsale.com. The following terms and conditions, together with our privacy policy, define Backwater Reptiles’ relationship with you in connection to this website. By browsing or using this website, you agree to comply with and be bound by these terms and conditions. You do not use this website if you do not agree with these terms and conditions in its entirety.

The term “Exotic Pet Reptiles” or “https://exoticpetreptileforsale.com/” or “us” or “we” refers to Exotic Pet Reptiles, Inc. The term “you” or “your” refers to the user or viewer of this website.

We cannot be held liable for the activities of any animal you purchase from us. You undertake to indemnify and keep us blameless from any liability arising out of any injuries caused by the animal, including but not limited to bites, stings, scratches, physical incapacitation, and the like. Be careful around all animals. Once the animals have been sent, we are no longer responsible for their actions. On your own risk, place your order.

Please note: You expressly understand that you are solely responsible for properly investigating and obeying the necessary federal, state, and local regulations which pertain to your ownership of any animal(s) that you may acquire from us. Particularly, you agree to indemnify and hold us blameless from any obligation or liability in regard to satisfying your responsibility to both study and comply to the proper federal, state, and local laws which pertain to your ownership of any animal(s) that you may acquire from us. Please review your federal, state, and local regulations which relate to your ownership of any animal(s) that you may acquire from us prior to such purchase.

No order is too small. In other words: there are no minimum orders. But, we explicitly reserve the right to limit orders if doing so is mandated by local, state, or federal legislation.

Consumers are required to pay for the items or services of this website, unless clearly instructed differently. By signing up, you promise to pay any charges to your account on promptly, at the then-current rates. Consumers also give us permission to charge their preferred payment method. We have the right to remedy any inaccuracies or mistakes that we make even if we have previously asked or received payment. In our sole discretion, refunds or credits may be provided in exceptional situations or to address any errors made by us.

You must be at least 18 years of age to place an order on this site. Agreeing to our conditions implies your commitment to this rule. No information will be collected from anybody under the age of 13. If asked, you must reveal your age during registration. Policies and procedures are in place to ensure that we always adhere to the rules and regulations established by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA). However, we will not be held liable for any false statements made by any user during registration or while using this website with respect to the user’s age. If it comes to our attention that a user has knowingly given us with false information in order to gain access to our website, we retain the right to immediately and permanently revoke that user’s access privileges. We retain the right to pursue civil, criminal, and injunctive recourse if we believe that you have given us with any incorrect information while using this website.

The applicable California sales tax rate will be charged to any orders being sent to the Golden State. All other 49 states receive orders without paying sales tax (subject to change as applicable under state law).

Especially with hatchlings and juveniles, it is not possible to ensure the sex or gender any given reptile, amphibian, or invertebrate will be if one is chosen. Despite our best efforts and decades of expertise, we may miss the mark occasionally. Although it’s not hard to tell a snake’s gender by its appearance alone, we nonetheless include them in this disclaimer just in case.

Animals are not available for layaway or hold. Images on this page are meant to be generic depictions of their respective species. This implies that the invertebrate, reptile, or frog you receive may or may not look exactly like the picture. The turnover rate of our accessible inventory is too high for us to be able to regularly update online images.

By selecting “Yes” at checkout, you agree to be bound by the policies outlined on this website and place an order with us. You may be sure that we are incredibly fair and diligently strive to provide your complete satisfaction at all times (not just satisfied).

Please be aware that it is against the law to sell, hold for sale, or provide commercial or public distribution of any live turtle with a carapace length of less than 4 inches, as defined by Section 1240.62(b) of Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, as amended.

The term “turtles” as used in the controlling regulation means “all animals commonly known as turtles, tortoises, terrapins, and all other animals of the order Testudinata, class Reptilia, except marine species (families Dermachelidae and Chelonidae).” See Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 1240.62(a), as amended.

The only exceptions allowed by law are set forth in Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 1240.62(d), as amended, which permits:

2. Possession, distribution, and resale of turtles and turtle eggs with the intent to profit outside of a commercial context;
3. The sale, holding for sale, and distribution of live turtles and viable turtle eggs intended for export only, provided that the outside of the shipping package is conspicuously labeled, “For Export Only;” and
4. Marine turtles excluded from this regulation in accordance with Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 1240.62(a), as amended, and eggs of such turtles.

Any violation of these rules may result in a fine, jail time of up to a year, or even a civil seizure and forfeiture proceeding.
