About
Hello,
My name is Michael Freedman, and I am the owner of The Florida Reptile Ranch. We are located in Tampa, Florida, where I was born and raised. I have several businesses, but I am especially excited about this one because I have loved reptiles for decades . I have kept everything from rat snakes, amphibians, green tree, water and Nile monitors, chameleons, boas, plus many more and have experience with most of the species around. In high school, I worked at an exotic pet store called "The Snake Pit" in Tampa, if anyone is from around the Bay area and remembers that place.
Growing up, like many of you I am sure, my bedroom had a space heater in it keeping the temperature about 10 degrees warmer than the rest of the house. My closets had the doors removed and a 4'x2'x2' water monitor cage in it. The sliding glass doors that were my entry to the back patio were blocked with an 8'x6'x2.5' iguana cage. Every available space was consumed with cages! Luckily I had great parents who put up with my obsessions, even when the containers of 1,000 crickets somehow escaped and sang to us from crevices in the house for months and loose green tree monitors were climbing on their heads in the middle of the night! Thank you Mom and Dad! Every dollar I made was spent on new reptiles and amphibians, books, rodents, statues and posters. You name it, I bought it if it was reptile/amphibian related. Looking back, I probably should have saved some of that money!
More recently, I have purchased ball pythons and boas from Europe, Africa and across the U.S. I have made a strong effort to buy the best examples of the morphs I wanted and to obtain all of the new exciting morphs that I could. I hope to breed some amazing snakes as a result! This was a time consuming task and a special thank you goes out to my wife for her unwavering support and to my two children Mason and Layla. As amazing as herps are, they don't compare to my family.
Please feel free to contact me about anything at all. I desire to be around for a long time and want everyone to have a great experience with my company. Thanks to all, and I look forward to meeting you!
Sincerely, Michael Freedman

Returns
The Florida Reptile Ranch does not accept returns on live animal purchases unless the animal was dead on arrival or violated our animal guarantee.

Arrival of your Animal
When your animal arrives, open the containers immediately and inspect it. If everything is okay, place the animal in its cage with fresh water. Shipping is a stressful time for animals. Try not to handle or feed your animal for several days, allowing it acclimate to its new environment. After 3 or 4 days you can attempt to feed your snake. However, if it doesn’t eat, don’t be alarmed as it sometimes takes a few weeks for snakes to fully acclimate. During the first few feedings offer the same meal type as it was fed at our facility. This information will be contained within your package. If anything is suspicious, please don’t hesitate to call us.
Contact
Please feel free to contact us at any time regarding your reptile interests, shipping, payment plans, etc. I am more than happy to speak to you about your acquisition and breeding goals, business plans or your customer feedback and recommendations.
Sincerely, Michael Freedman
