    How about Backwater Reptiles?

    read the reviews for yourself on FaunaClassifieds.com Board of Inquiry. the BOI is an invaluable tool for anyone buying reptiles.

    IMO stay away from them as well.

    I split the thread obviously there his no need to hijack a thread with feedback related questions


    Backwater Reptiles are not breeder either they buy wholesale and resale, they also use dropshippers, while for some animals it might not matter also no matter what the animal I prefer to buy from the person that produced it, buy a hognose without history is just the worst thing you can do, it's already hard enough to buy them from breeder that will get them well started 10 meals unscented and F/T, if you buy from a third person the chance is that the animal may not have eaten or have 1 to 2 meal in them max.

    Getting a hognose that is not well started is a big mistake even for someone that has the knowledge for someone that does not it quickly turn into a nightmare.

    There is no reason to buy from flippers or wholesalers when there are tons of hognose breeders out there. Even BHB breeds them. Just find a breeder. Fauna classified is full of them.

    I would steer clear of Backwater, there have been some pretty bad reviews posted on the BOI. I would definitely go to a breeder.
