Terms of Sale
Overview
We are not responsible for behavior or temperament of any reptile.
We reserve the right to refuse sales for any reason.
If you have any questions or concerns about your reptile, PLEASE ask us. We are happy to answer any questions of any experience level for the lifetime of the reptile.
Sex of hatchlings and juveniles is not guaranteed.
Please wash your hands, as reptiles can carry salmonella, and handle all reptiles with care and caution. Reptiles can be very temperamental at times, especially after shipping. If you are bit or injured by any reptile after delivery is complete, it is not the responsibility of Zion Hill Exotics.
The reptile shown on the Available page is not always the exact reptile you will receive (we often put one photo from a clutch to represent the entire clutch). Please ask us if you would like to see a photograph of the exact reptile you will be receiving.

If we do not hear from you within 4 hours of delivery, your transaction will be considered closed and guarantee is voided.
If the reptile becomes ill within the first 2 days of delivery AND proof from a licensed reptile/exotic animal veterinarian is provided that clearly demonstrates the animal(s) were not in full health at the time of transfer, we will reimburse the customer for the cost of veterinary care required to restore the animal to full health up to the full purchase price of the animal within 5 business days.

We will ship year-round depending on the weather. The safety of the reptile comes first, so shipping will be at our discretion. We will hold the reptile at no charge until weather permits.
