Habitat Exchange Habitat Exchange

For your first gecko & your fiftieth clutch

Built for the animal, not for the sale.

Buy, sell, and bid on captive-bred reptiles, with one checkout built for live animals. We’re building it now, carefully, because live animals don’t get a beta test.

One email when doors open, a couple of progress notes before. No spam, ever. Continental US at launch.

You’re on the list.

Your confirmation just hatched in your inbox. Hit the confirm button inside to lock in your spot. One email when the doors open, and nothing that wastes your time before then.

Breeder, shop or vendor? See what we’re building for sellers.

Vendors

No subscriptions

No tiers, no upgrades, no monthly bill. An account is free.

No listing fees

List every animal for free. We don’t get paid until you do.

Classifieds weren’t built for living cargo.

A forum post can’t check an ID, screen a listing, or hold a shipment out of a storm. We’re building the thing that does 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. Nobody sends $800 to a stranger and hopes.

Sellers on the record

Every storefront is identity-checked before it can list, with reputation you can actually read, not vouches buried in a comment thread.

Some sales shouldn’t happen

Listings clear species legality, permits, and welfare before they go live. Our job is to stop the ones that shouldn’t.

Five ways to sell. One set of rules.

  • Fixed Price
  • Make An Offer
  • Timed Auctions
  • Live Auctions
  • Flash Sales

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.
