Description
I ordered a live tiger salamander and paid for overnight shipping. The next day I heard from the shipping company that more money was needed for insurance and health certificates to release animal from the airport. I paid and contacted seller that these unmentioned were not acceptable. They said it was normal. I never did get my salamander yesterday as I was supposed to. And I never heard back from the seller or shipping company.
