Backwater Reptiles are awesome! Their sales staff is very polite and answers all your inquiries in a timely manner. I ordered a GBB tarantula sling and received it 100% live arrival guaranteed. We'll packaged and safe. Lively little sling too.

I had been looking for a Madagascar Big-Headed Turtle for a really long time and remembered seeing an email from Backwater Reptiles from last year about them having a few babies. I took a chance and emailed them asking if any were still available for $250 (the price they were advertised at last year). Within 10 minutes I received a response that they still had some, that they were the same turtles so they definitely had some wear and tear (normal cosmetic baby turtle stuff- nipped toes and tails) and because of that they were $200 instead. I JUMPED on the opportunity and was walked through how to go about a manual order via email and then pay securely on the website since the turtles were an email exclusive deal. I paid $254 after tax and shipping (the normal rate for FEDEX priority overnight) and almost immediately got an email confirming everything was put together and in order on their end. I ordered on a Sunday night, got my tracking Monday evening as planned, and today my turtle showed up healthy, looking amazing, and on time. I panicked a little because of how hot it was in my part of Florida today- and then I found the cold packs. Sweet, sweet cold packs. When I opened the box it was packed wonderfully with THOSE AMAZING COLD PACKS, foam walls, and filled with crumpled paper, and the turtle was secured in a breathable bag- the gold standard. I’d give more stars than 5 if I could for the transparency, the price, the response time, the professionalism, and the overall satisfaction I felt opening that box today.

I ordered two Uromastyx through their website. It was super straightforward, very simple and quick! They kept communication and they were very sweet. The lizards arrived healthy and happy! Highly recommend these guys! Thank you so much you guys!

The company promptly performed exactly as represented. I ordered 9 lizards which arrived healthy and ready to energetically see their new homes. They are adorable! There is a premium on shipping but worth it to ensure the animals arrive quickly and are healthy.

I recently built a pond and wanted to add turtles to it. I contacted Backyard Reptiles and they suggested a few different type. I purchased 3 different ones and they arrived yesterday. They were babies and the coolest ones I’ve seen. I would highly recommend them if you are looking to purchase a unique pet
