Has anyone ever ordered from LLLReptile? Or Backwater Reptile? How are they? They have High red Ornates.

Thanks.

I haven't ordered from LLLReptile yet but am looking to in the near future. I've asked them several questions and gotten nothing but very friendly timely responses. They seem to know what they're doing and I look forward to ordering from them. I have seen many many many bad reviews for backwater reptile though. Someone correct me if they've had a good experience through them, but as far as I've seen online, I would not risk making a purchase from them.

Got my red ornate from LLL at a show, he's very aggressive, a good eater, and has grown quickly, but he is kind of mean. I've been bitten multiple times. Only issues I've had over 6 months are very mild impactions when small, but that's on me for feeding too large of crickets. Tong feeds well on everything I've fed him, calls almost every night. He has lost most of his red coloration though, and is more of a red toned dark brown now, but brightens up a lot for about a day after shedding.

I have no experience with backwater reptile, but based on user reviews and what people have posted on the forum, I would be a bit apprehensive about ordering from them.

I would say the same thing about backwater. But everything I have heard about lll has been good.

I have bought 2 Red Eye Tree frogs and 5 Mantella Betsileo from them and each time was a pleasant and easy experience. I would deff recommend them to anyone who asked!

I've dealt with LLL Reptile for supplies. They're legit. Easy to get a hold of, well managed. From what I understand, Backwater has a fairly negative reputation. You also might take a look at First Choice Reptiles. They have a lot of very unique animals I don't really see often elsewhere, and based on my research and experiences with them, they're legit. They can be a little tough to get a hold of because they're a somewhat small operation in their staffing, but they're good about getting back to people.

Having been to most of the LLL locations in person I can say that they take amazing care of there animals. I've gotten several animals from them including pacs and they are always healthy.

Backwater reptiles does not carry their animals on site. You order through their site and they tell their dealers to send it to you. They can not insure that the animals are healthy and in a lot of cases people get the wrong animals.

I've never heard anything negative about lll here or anywhere else, so myself i would not hesitate to order from them, but backwater is a different story. May be their attitude changed since i was around here more often, but i dont remember hearing anything good about them ever.
