I paid over 300 dollars for my snakes and shipping (common brown snake). I was told they would arrive in 24 hours, and when they didn't come, I was given a tracking number to locate them. The next day I received a message from the shipping company saying they wouldn't ship them unless I paid more than five hundred dollars! I have contacted the shipping company and Backwater Reptiles, and no one will help me or cancel my order! Total SCAM

I've been buying animals from here the last few years and everyone I have gotten is live well and some of the better prices I've seen available any questions I have are always answered quickly.

This is my second time purchasing from backwater. They are professional with what they do. They didn't have the species's I ordered so they offered another which worked out great. I was happy with my whole experience. They came alive and well. I will be ordering from them again soon.

I bought 2 cumberland sliders and they are very happy after a week's time. No problems with shipping and backwater reptiles has been responsive to my questions. My only recommendation is for some type of info sheet included in the shipment. The turtles arrived without anything else. An info sheet with tips and encouragement would be nice. One of the turtles was slow to respond and this is my first time taking care of a turtle. So, I was a bit worried in the first few days. An info sheet might have allayed those fears and doubts. Of course, there's the website...but when you are in front of your aquarium, the website isn't necessarily handy. All in all, we are very happy with our new pets!!

Picked up my beautiful baby Dalmatian Crested Gecko this morning. Cutest thing ever, it shipped and got here right away. I had no problems doing business with this company and I’m looking forward to many more. The only problem I had was at the FedEx center where I watched the guy tilt and shake my package, I had to proceed and tell him there was a live animal in there, after reading reviews after receiving my scaly friend, maybe it isn’t BlackWaters fault as to why some of these customers are receiving dead creatures, but the way the package is being handle at these distribution centers. A big bold sign that says “live animal” on the packaging would hopefully reduce the risk of such fragile creatures being hurt or even killed. Anyways thank you so much again, my kids are absolutely amazed by the little baby, and we can’t wait to watch it grow.
