Recommend Online Breeders

[mikeneezy]

I checked google and came up with several websites. I'm not looking for anything in particular as far as morphs, I just want A+ service. Who do you guys recommend? or have an experience dealing with? fireandice? daichu? jossranch? rainbow? reptilesbymack?

I also looked at kingsnake classifieds and theres a bunch there.

I personally havnt ordered a dragon online but this is the lady who runs the beardeddragon.co supply place does dragons too. I've heard great things about her.

She also has links to some other breeders:

Are any of these local or close?http://www.lllreptile.com/info/company/retail-stores

Thanks. I'm in the LA area. I have ordered supplies from LLL and their service have been outstanding. You hear anything about their reps? Thanks for the links. I'll make sure to check each one.

I havnt really heard anything about their reptiles, maybe see if you can find some reviews, or use the search on here for different breeders. You could also see if there are any reptile shows coming up and see what breeders are going. I just went to a show today.

I have family out there by Riverside. Beautiful place your lucky!

I tried looking some more but it's hard to find, I hope someone else can comment. I was thinking if you could find someone closer it would be nice, even possibly pick one up instead of shipping. But one of the most highly recommended I saw this time when I searched here was Rio reptile which is Cheryl on from the beardeddragon.co link. I love her product site and just picked up some stuff from a friend of hers at the Minnesota reptile show.

Thanks! I'll check the sites. I work nights so I have no problems with having them shipped as I'm always home in the mornings. There are a couple of petsmart/cos here but I have heard the stories. Also, there are a few private owned stores, but this being my first beardie, I wouldn't know what to look out for.

If that's the case I would do tons of research and have the tank already set up with temps and everything correct before even ordering. There are some very good breeders out there, just seems Rio is mentioned a lot with good opinions on them. I hope someone chimes in about breeders, maybe edit your first post on the topic and change the subject to recommended online breeders, you may get some more people that have experience ordering from someone.

I've been setting up my enclosure, purchasing the necessities and reading these forums. Just a couple of more things then I can get my BD. Again, thanks for the help.

I can recommend Rio Reptiles. You can look at the pictures online, and call or email Cheryl to talk to her about what you are looking for as far as personality. She can help you find a couple to choose from. We have been so happy with our Fred that we got from her 2 years ago.

Great, I did figure you were getting everything and researching, just thought I'd mention it.

Maybe you will get some more answers, I see there is already one!

Beardeddragons.co has a super cute translucent boy up for sale right now. I've ordered from Cheryl before and she is great.

I got my boy from Pacific Coast Beardies and I couldn't be happier with him. c: He's extremely friendly and calm, so I'm pretty sure he was handled daily. When I had an issue with him, the breeder was very responsive and gave me tips on how to deal with it. The shipping went perfectly. He even started eating the day I got him.

I got my leo from LLLReptiles, but she wasn't shipped to me. I just picked her up from a convention, so I can't say anything about their shipping.

I strongly recommend that, when you do find a breeder you like, search for them in the Board of Inquiry. It's a huge collection of reviews on various breeders.
