Built for the animal, not for the sale.
A marketplace to buy, sell, and bid on captive-bred reptiles, with one checkout built for live animals. In development now, carefully, because live animals do not get a beta test.
Built for your first gecko and your fiftieth clutch.
Classifieds were not built for living cargo.
A forum post cannot check an ID, screen a listing, or hold a shipment out of a storm. HabitatExchange is being built to do all three.
No more friends and family
One checkout, clear live-arrival terms, and a real dispute process on every order. Shipments hold automatically when the forecast turns dangerous anywhere along the route.
Sellers on the record
Every storefront is identity-checked before it can list, with reputation you can actually read rather than vouches buried in a comment thread.
Some sales should not happen
Listings clear species legality, permits, and welfare before they go live. The job of the platform is to stop the ones that should not.
Five ways to sell. One set of rules.
A quiet fixed-price sale and a packed Friday-night auction run through the same checkout, the same screening, and the same record of every bid and offer.
- 01Fixed price
- 02Make an offer
- 03Timed auctions
- 04Live auctions
- 05Flash sales
HabitatExchange is not paid until the seller is.
No tiers, no upgrades, no monthly bill. Continental US at launch. One email when doors open, a couple of progress notes before.
