Habitat Exchange Habitat Exchange

For breeders, shops & vendors

Keep More Of Every Sale.

HabitatExchange is a captive-bred reptile marketplace we’re building with the people who breed them. Sellers keep 100% of their listed price, and the rules are written to protect your animals and your name. Join the vendor list and help decide what we build first.

Zero Seller Fees

List for free and keep 100% of your listed price. Buyers pay the platform fee at checkout.

No Subscriptions

No tiers, no monthly bill, no paying to be seen.

$5 Live Lots

Live auctions cost a flat $5 per lot that sells. Lots that don’t sell cost nothing.

What We’re Building For Sellers

Nothing here is live yet. Some of it already runs in our test build, some is still on the drawing board, and your answers decide what comes first.

No More Ghost Bidders

A winner who doesn’t pay within 48 hours loses the animal. You relist it, or offer it to the runner-up at their own top bid.

Claims Need Proof

Buyers get 72 hours to open an arrival claim. A person decides it, and either side can appeal to a different reviewer. Unboxing evidence rules are being finalized.

Live Auctions, Your Way

Host your own live sale on the same checkout as everything else. Every bid lands on the record, and you pay a flat $5 only on lots that sell.

Five Ways To Sell

Fixed price, make an offer and timed auctions run in our test build now. Live auctions and flash sales follow, on the same checkout and the same rules.

Rules Checked Before Checkout

Orders are screened against species and destination-state rules before anyone pays. We’re building the rule set state by state.

Overnight Ship Days Only

Overnight only. Ship Monday to Thursday, and Friday only with Saturday delivery booked, so boxes don’t sit in a hub over the weekend. Federal holidays are blocked for you.

Your Own Storefront

A store page with your profile, your shipping origin and your team, so buyers know exactly who they’re buying from.

No Friends And Family

Buyers pay through one checkout, and payouts go to your own merchant account. We never hold your money.

Discounted Shipping

We’re working on overnight shipping on our own live-animal account at a steep discount. Tell us in the survey how much it would matter to you.

Engineered For The Living World.

HabitatExchange builds intelligent systems for buying and selling live animals. Every listing, bid and shipment runs on one core of intelligence and one standard of engineering.
