CV Exotics

I bought my ghost mojave ball python at the new england reptile expo from CV. Their snakes stood out to me first because they all looked noticeably well fed and active compared to others, not to mention the nice coloring for more affordable prices. The vendor himself was very informative of my questions and took his time to address my needs. Its been 5 months and my BP has been very healthy and docile the whole time I've had him, he is a great eater of frozen with no hesitation or issues. I've heard lots of stories about troublesome, finicky BPs but this is not the case with him at all, which I'd consider a testament of his good breeding and rearing.

Couldn't be more satisfied with my recent purchase, received my animal in a timely manner as expected, perfectly packaged and handled. And ecstatic to say she was far more impressive and healthy than I could have hoped for. Pictures did no justice for my Super Pastel Pinstripe Ball Python. Looking forward to future business with CV. -Cheers from the west coast

This was a hard review to write because we had both a good experience and a challenging one. The staff was very helpful in helping my daughter and I purchase our first pair of ball pythons. The selection was unreal with prices ranging from very reasonable to the serious Breeder/collector level. They were helpful in helping us understand everything we needed to know. The issue came when a week later I had an exchange of several calls trying to obtain a larger more pet me any enclosure for the snakes. We spoke several times about availability and pricing, as they are over an hour drive from myself and I didn’t want to waste anyone’s time (including mine). I was told a price $300 with the heating pad for a specific enclosure (48”x24”x16”). I checked the website for the brand they carried (reptile basics) and at that price CV Exotics was about $75 dollars more(not including shipping) but I wanted to do my business through the local place and thought that was reasonable. I called again to confirm it was still there and that I was correct on the price, all was confirmed by a wonderful lady that had answered most of my calls. So the following morning I made the drive to pick up the enclosure. One I got there, they informed me the price was actually $400 and that maybe the person I spoke too was talking about a used one, which they confirmed they haven’t had available for months. I told them I just drove an hour there and would be driving an hour back, and a week earlier had spent over $400 on snakes and supplies there. They said sorry for the miscommunication but refused to budge on the price at all. I was frustrated to say the least. I get employees getting prices wrong, but after several calls and a previous expensive purchase and a very long drive, too not budge at all and basically tell me I wasted my time was very rude. I didn’t guess on the price or come in demanding some crazy price, knowing it was higher. The owner only told me that he only makes like $10 dollars on them as is and wouldn’t do anything for me. I may find a new reptile supplier I don’t know. I just feel lied too and than brushed aside. Hope this helps anyone else looking to purchase there. Great place to get your reptile for a fair price, do not get your enclosures or other stuff there. Wanted to give them 5 stars!

Scott was very attentive and quick to answer any and all questions I had. The CV exotics website is well made and easy to use, and my snake was healthy and alert upon arrival. Amazing service, would highly recommend!
