Reputable Breeders

[BURRRRR]

I'm looking for one. Please only send REPUTABLE breeders. I'm not set into anything yet and want to take my time finding the right, healthy one.

I'm not really into the citrus/bright yellow coloring. This (to me) is what I am REALLY looking for:

CRIMSON SUPER BLOOD FROM A1 REPTILES

Not unnaturally red, but with a few nice colors here and there.

Before I get anyone started, I know its not really about the color. They are living beings, so their total health is a HUGE concern for me.


Also, how to beardies do with cats. I have a small cat who is fairly docile but I don't want to take the risk is there is a substantial one.

I got my beardie last month from www.rockinardragonz.com Awesome people and will answer any questions you have, very healthy dragons and they care for their dragons like they are little babies... Highly recommended! I also got one from www.Carolinaclassicdragons.com This dragon is also very healthy and David is a good breeder.

As for your cat, just keep an eye out. Dragons need to run around. Maybe when the dragon is out you can put your cat in another room? I have 3 dogs, 3 cats and 2 beardies and we are all just one big happy family!!

Hope this helps.

Cheryl at Rio Reptiles just had some babies that I think are going to be reddish? We got ours from her back in October. If I am ever allowed to get another, that's where I'll be going.

Thank you. I actually live with my parents who have 5 dogs and 7 cats :| Hopefully once I can land a decent job I can get my own place, but for now I'm confined to my room.

Any more suggestions?

Has anyone heard of A-1 Reptiles?

http://www.westcoastdragons.ca is where i got Bubba. He is fat and happy and always eats his greens and he never bit anyone in the 2 years I've had him. Bubba chases the cat out of the house if he is feeling frisky, Jackjack (the cat) is terrified of him rofl.

I always recommend the smaller breeders, they take excellent care of their babies and always have time to handle each and every one of them. Also, do your research on that breeder, ask around, email the breeder! Ask all kinds of questions. A good breeder will take the time to help you out even if you aren't buying from them. Ask for pictures of the parents, they can give you a good idea of what the babies will look like. If you are looking for a red, I definately suggest this, because a lot of reds tend to fade as adults, so if you want to keep that pretty color, make sure the parents still look nice. Also check out the surroundings in the pictures. I never buy from people who show poop in their pictures. It's a pet peeve of mine.

But definately do your research, there are a lot of nice breeders out there. Check out this link:

Cheryl has an entire list of beardie breeders, check them all out and go with what your gut tells you!

Another good thing would be to find a breeder close enough for you to pick the dragon up yourself. That way you can see whats goin on inside and you will know if its a good situation or not.

Are there any decent breeders in the Hampton Roads, VA area?

I just talked to Teri @ A1 Reptiles and it's looking promising. They have the baby that I posted above, so I got her to send me a picture of the parents and they both look REALLY healthy and are holding their color very well. I have also read great reviews on them both. Has anyone personally dealt with them?

I also contacted Bob @ Sandfire Dragon Ranch and he says that they should be getting a few more Red/Golds that I really like in the upcoming months. They too look really promising. Anyone have a dragon from them?

Did you know you can look up Good Guy and Bad Guy posts on Fauna Classifieds BOI? I have no personal experience with A-1 but have a friend who bought 3 dragons from them. This is not an appropriate place to share such info publicly out of respect for other breeders.
