I got 4 c. gracilis, 1 Haplopelma sp. 1 scolopendra subspinipes, 1 scolopendra subspinipes mutilans, and 1 scolopendra sp. Haitian giant. all alived live and well, and all have fed already. great prices on animals and shipping, and everything was spectacular!!!

I had some questions, everything got answered. I received EXCELLENT communication while asking questions, during purchase, during overnight transport, and after I received them. I was impressed with how much he cared about the spiders' wellbeing. Not a guy that just sent them off and didn't care. I can't stress how good the communication was.
I received two juvenile H. minax, and they both are presently active and healthy. He added a heat pack just for good measure, and packaged them well.
I would recommend him, and will probably check in on his available for sale list again when I'm ready to get more.

Ron is a great guy to order from, fast communication, he readily answered my questions, his prices are great. Shipping and packing were good. He even sent me the sex ratios I requested!!!! Now if thats not execllent service I don't know what is! All around an awesome transaction! I definately reccomend ordering from him and will do so again as soon as I can.

I was surprised that Ron was not in the Dealer/Seller list, but chose to purchase from him on a gut reaction to his correspondance.

I was a bit concerned because the scorpions I purchased were being shipped from Chicago where it is in the teens at night. We discussed the potential problem, and waited until yesterday (it was to be the warmest day for a while) and shipped.

The (10) scorpions arrived this morning, Priority Overnight. All were in excellent condition. They were well packed in separate containers, surounded with crumpled newspaper inside a styrofoam-lined box. Two heat packs kept the scorps at a safe temperature. In fact, the heat packs were still warm!

Ron was helpful and very business-like in our correspondance, and obviously took great care in packing and shipping.

I am looking forward to dealing with him in the future.

Yup, my experience with Ron was similar. His prices were good and the millipedes and trapdoor I received were lively as ever and in great condition

i ordered 10 scorps at a great price recieved great scorps in good packaging the communication was great also would and will buy from Ron again

I am sorry to say my business with RON LECH (Only Exocits) did not turned out like some people, but maybe that's because you never received a DOA from Ron, so you never experienced his lies.

I ordered some pedes from RON LECH (Only Exocits). Before I did, I did asked him if live arrival was garanteed and RON LECH (Only Exocits)said "absolutely". and i paid for next day delivery.

I missed the mail the next day, but i did went to the post office to pick up the package about 4 hours afterward. understand that i am from san diego, where the weather is in the 60s F at the time.
It turned out that i got one dead pedes and i asked for a refund on it or have another one send to me.

RON LECH (Only Exocits) told me that since i missed the mail and the package had to sit in the post office for 4 hours, he will not refund the money or send out another specimen.
Funny how he failed to mention that policy before he ship them out.

my queston is
how can 4 hours make a difference if the centipede was healthy
and the temperature was in the 60s F (perhaps even warmer in the post office)?
RON LECH (Only Exocits) went back on his words.
Online when we buy animals from people, we can only take their words and believe them.
RON LECH (Only Exocits) words are LIES. So if you ever have to buy any inverts from anyone, try to AVOID RON SOLO.
I guess like some dealers, RON LECH (Only Exocits) is one of those people that will say anything to make a sell.
Ron... Under occupation in your profile it said unemployment, along with that umployment check I hope that $16 would make a big difference in your life.

I just received a B. gigas from Ron! AWESOME!

Just wanted to take a moment to let you all know that Ron is great to deal with - he responded promptly to my PMs and patiently answered all of my questions.

Great guy, I can totally recommend that you deal with Ron!

Had a great transaction with Ron, I ordered 6 desert millipedes and all arrived in great shape. He even held the critters an extra 2 week for me while I traveled for my job.

I recieved a box today with 5 very nice and healthy scorps. Communication was great and I would highly recommend Ron to anyone wanting to make a transaction.

Thanks Bro!!!

If you want someone that stand’s behind the animals he sells. DO NOT BUY FROM Ron Solo ( Only Exotics ). My fiancé and I not only got one dead tarantula from this man but two. The first one died the day after we got it. He said that he would send another one to replace it. So he did. That one was dead when it got here. This was the saddest thing I have ever seen. The first one was very poorly packed. The next one looked like the spider bled to death. It did look to be packed ok. The only thing I can think of is it was either bleeding before it was packed or suffered extreme dehydration. My fiancé is new to the world of tarantulas. I am not. I have been caring for tarantulas now for 12+ years. I know a sick spider when I see one. Both spiders where sick before he shipped. He said that the cold killed the first spider. So he suggested two heat packs with the second spider. My fiancé said yes to the heat packs. Thinking that a dealer knows best. Ron then told him that he would not refund the money. Due to him saying yes to the two heat packs. I will never buy anything from Ron.

This is the first spider H. minax.

I recently ordered some scorpions from Ron.....a pair of adult B. jacksoni....they were shipped for overnight delivery last week.....I received the package on time only to find that the scorps were DOA. I immediately notified Ron and he assured me he would take care of the situation....we talked on the phone and decided to have him send out replacements the following Monday (yesterday) for arrival on Tuesday (today)...Ron even offered to cover shipping on the replacments....over the weekend I also added a pair of L. mucronatus to my order.....Ron informed me that the female had recently given birth and had scorplings on her back, so I decided to chance shipping her.....I can say that all of the bugs arrived today with no problems whatsoever, even the babies on momma's back! Ron was very accomodating throughout the whole transaction and he stood behind his animals when the first order arrived DOA. That speaks very highly of his integrity and business ethics in my opinion. I would not hesitate to buy from Ron again and would definitely recommend him to anyone thinking of doing business with hm!

Thanks again Ron!!!

Hello,

I received a number of Florida C. gracilis and red-morph B. jacksoni scorps from Only Exotics (Ron) and they are all in great condition! Ron's readiness to answer questions and his overall helpfulness is really appreciated. To use an old expression to sum up Ron's animals/service: It is 'Top Drawer!' I highly recommend Ron to anyone who wants outstanding service, prices and quality animals.

This post is a few days late, but I just did my second transaction with Ron and everything went great! He packed very well, and sent superb scorpions! Communication was awesome (Ron answered all of my questions), and the scorps were in great condition when they arrived! I am very pleased with the entire transaction, and will probably be doing business with Ron again soon.

POSITIVE!!
Ron is great guy! He is very friendly and very concerned about the well being of the animals he sales. The pedes were packed to perfection and all in fantastic shape ! Everybody should order their inverts and reptiles from Ron.

Positive transaction from Ron! Good guy to deal with. Received my 1.2.0 B. Jacksoni from him without a hitch! Thanks Ron!

I will definitely buy from ron again. A friend and i together bought 6 scorps from him. All are alive and health except one and that was my own stupidity. I put all 3 of mine in a tank together right away and the male killed one of the female. I am guessing it was from stress and wanting food. I should have know not to put them together right away. Everything was done very well on ron's end.n Packing was great scorps where great. I will buy from him again and again.

This is a day late of posting

Positve for sure

Ron's packing was great , his communication was excellent and the shipping was right on time.

How come nobody uses this one for Ron?

I don't know man but it's probably because RonSolo is my email addy. People who love me know me as Only Exotics

EXTREMELY POSITIVE!!!

I just received 2 AWESOME Theraphosa Blondi , male and female.

Where to begin .

He told me his Blondis where a little smaller this time, somewhere in between 4-6 inches.

The female measures 8.75 inches and the male over 6.5 !!!!!

I have never received any Blondis in such a great condition .

They were both plump, active and feeding right away!!!

The communication with Ron is fantastic, he answers your questions right away, his prices are unbeatable, excellent packaging job,
His animals are in optimum condition and hes a really nice guy .

I asked him about some feeder frogs to change the diet of my blondis and he sent me 4 frogs free!

I'm very happy with Ron (Only Exotics) and I highly recommend Ron if you want great quality animals at awesome prices !! !

Ron was awesome to deal with. I recently bought a female T. Blondi from him. He said it was about 9" and it's easily 10"+. He was great to deal with, great communication, he sent pics and was always quick to answer any questions I had. He even waited a day to ship due to high temps. The packaging was great and she arrived alive and frisky!! Here's a pic of her - if you're looking for a good place to get a Blondi - Ron's the man!



Will definetly be doing business with Ron again!!

Rob
