I know this company has a lot of negative reviews, so I was honestly hesitant to order. But my experience ended up being very positive. I had been searching for a baby skink for a long time and couldn’t find one anywhere. I knew Backwater Reptiles had one available, but I avoided ordering at first because of the feedback I’d seen. After calling around to places all over the country with no luck, I decided to take a chance. The ordering process was smooth. I placed my order Sunday evening and received a tracking number the next day. I reached out because I didn’t think I got the tracking email, and their customer service responded quickly. They confirmed it had been sent and even resent it for me, which I appreciated. My baby fire skink arrived the following morning at around 9:30 AM, which was faster than I expected. I can only speak from my own experience, but everything went smoothly from start to finish. Based on that, I would recommend them.

Thank you to Blackwater Pets for an amazing experience. From start to finish, everything was handled with care, professionalism, and genuine love for animals. It truly shows how much they care about both pets and their owners. I am very happy with the service I received and will recommend Blackwater Pets to all of my friends and family. This is a place you can trust with your pets.

Simple and standard page layout for picking your new little friend, with what seems to be fair pricing, FAST shipping, and they pack the little critters with care. I got a leopard gecko and they're BEAUTIFUL. Seems very healthy and active even after making such a long trip all boxed up. Very satisfied.

I just made my second purchase from back water reptiles! This time I ordered 2 baby whites tree frogs. I’m from Maine and the day my frogs were supposed to ship we were getting a massive snow storm! Back water reptiles reached out to me by email and we rescheduled my delivery for a day later. My frogs came in and were eating within 10 hours! I am so happy with this company and would highly recommend them to anyone! :)

I am more than happy with my purchase. I ordered a Therophosa sp, that turned out to be very healthy. That was Dec 9th my day i received it. Today is February 5th and She is very healthy went through a molt, She was larger than expected, . So if there is something that stand out about the experience with Backwater Reptiles is this, I was surprised on the size of my sling for the affordable price they offered. I sincerely am over joyed, and would like to apologize for taking so long to leave a review. And the species it a T.Stirmy.

bought a tarantula and she was alive and healthy, the shipping was fast, will buy more soon and i recommend these guys

I've puchased from other companies that sell "feeder" lizards and Backwater is the only one that has consistantly shipped quality lizards. The packaging materials were clean and neatly done. They have been very responcive to questions and requests in a very prompt and professional manner which goes a long way with me, so they are my go to for what I need without exception. CP

I would recommend these guys they are awesome! My tarantula came when expected and in great health ❤️💕🥰
