Anyone ever bought a live animal from here?
This is mostly for curiosity's sake, but I may get a couple things from here in the future.
I just wanted to know if anyone has any experience with this site.

You CANNOT buy from HaHaReptile. They are a wholeseller. They only sell to pet shops. You can however buy from reptilecity.com. That is the parent company of hahareptile. I have not bought from them, but I was going to. Decided against it. The critters I wanted to buy are caught in the wild, not captive bred. I would check to make sure a critter is captive bread.

I think you can buy from them, I just went through the whole checkout up to the credit card input and saw nothing forcing a person to have a business (most retail shop only places will require a tax id # ). They have a minimum purchase of $200 though.

Exactly. I called them to order some Horny Toads. They told me they will only sell to pet stores. You have to buy at least 200 bucks of a certain item or what not. You can call them too, that is what they told me. They then directed me to reptilecity.com You will notice though that they have the same phone number as reptilecity.com.

I wouldn't buy from them. Any company that is willing to sell wc animals is no good in my book. It's good that they inform you about it, but I wouldn't feel comfortable buying an animal that comes with this description:
"These snakes are imported into the United States by the thousands. Most will not eat due to stress and internal parasites. They also are covered in huge ticks
which, must be removed.

Reptile City treat each wild caught Ball Python for worms and expect each snake for ticks before shipping."

That just doesn't seem right to me.

I know most people will disagree with me on this. Why look down on companies that sell WC animals?
I for one would love to have alot of animals that I could only get by being WC. Then you get new bloodlines in with your animals also. I've heard stories from WC bps, that alot are gorgeous. I for one would love to see some of the WC Bps.

What species could you only get if it were WC?

Most of them are geckos. Heres some

Eublepharis macularius afghanicus
Eublepharis macularius fasciolatus
Eublepharis macularius macularius
Eublepharis macularius montanus
Eublepharis macularius smithi
Hemitheconyx taylori
A few Phelsuma

Thats all I can think of.

E. m. afghanicus are just starting to be breed. Not to many out there though.

Why look down on companies that sell WC?
