I also am looking for a place to pick up a beardie here in MN. while im ok with buying from a breeder or i suppose even a store, i would prefer to buy a rescue.

I can not be of much help with your questions, but I wanted to say welcome to the site to you both!


Tom, of TND dragons is across the lakes from you, cmapplebeck, in PA. He has nice babies and is a reliable breeder with lots of experience in shipping.

As for beardies that need to be rescued...ncc74656 try craigslist.org :wink: most the ones I see on there in our area could really use some rescuing and lots of TLC.

Again welcome to the both of you!

Hey, I'm in Minnesota too! The breeder that I know from here is called Exotics & Aquatics. Seems like this guy has been around here breeding beardies for years. Many people now this place here, in the beardies world in MN this place is rather famous. Actually, I bought my beardie from a guy that bought it from Exotics & Aquatics.
Here you can check the website, but I believe they are not having anything until spring, but I might be wrong:

hey thanks for the site! i looked around online for some reviews and saw some nasty things..... about the shop but it could be from just a few ppl with a bad exp. who knows. but none the less it still kinda of deturs me from wanting to purchase a beardie from there. i shall keep looking and if i find a beardie breeder i will post info if i have the breeders disclosure.

ps.
E&A have been breeding dragons for 15yrs. the lady that i talked to from the store said they breed about 500 dragons a year.

 

[nahuelarg86]

Yeah, I saw the reviews before, it's just me that I don't pay much attention to that stuff. But anyways, you might as well go to the place and check it out, nothing to loose.
When I was looking for breeders here to buy a beardie, I couldn't find any besides E&A, TCR, or Leaping Lizard. So, maybe you should consider the option of buying online.

 

[cmapplebeck]

yeah maybe...i will check the place out for sure TY!!

Where in Minnesota are you? I bought my first beardie from Leaping Lizards in Burnsville. I really liked it there, the woman who worked there seemed to know quite a bit about the animals she took care of. She owns a few of her own as well. She just bought 10, one month old red beardies from her breeder. There were a few hypos in the clutch.

Here's their site: http://www.leapinglizardsreptileshop.com/

I convinced the OP to check out Leaping Lizards, and they ended up adopting one of the adults they had there! Dudley was adopted from Leaping Lizards too. He loves coming back in for visits!

 

[xMissMae]

That's awesome! They have a few adults there now. I wish I cold bring all of them home with me.

 

[cmapplebeck]

his name is Nacho
