About Us
Backwater Reptiles has been helping reptile and amphibian enthusiasts find incredible animals for over 15 years! What began with a genuine lifelong interest in reptiles has grown into a business dedicated to offering a wide variety of reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates to customers throughout the United States.
We’re reptile people first. We understand the excitement of finding a species you’ve been searching for, opening a shipment and seeing your new animal for the first time, or adding something unusual to a collection you’ve spent years building.
Over the years, we’ve worked with an enormous variety of species—from snakes, lizards, turtles, and tortoises to frogs, toads, salamanders, tarantulas, and other fascinating animals. Whenever possible, we offer captive-bred animals and work with experienced breeders and suppliers who share our focus on healthy animals and responsible care.
Shipping live animals requires experience, attention to detail, and a great deal of care. After more than 15 years in business, we’ve shipped animals to customers across the country and have developed our procedures around one primary goal: getting your animal to you safely and in excellent condition.
We also believe buying an animal online should be straightforward. Our website is designed to make it easy to browse available species, understand what you’re purchasing, and have your questions answered by people who actually know reptiles and amphibians.
Whether you’re purchasing your first reptile or you’ve been keeping and breeding animals for decades, we appreciate the opportunity to be part of the hobby with you.
Thank you for choosing Backwater Reptiles.

We offer exotic reptiles for sale online at absolute rock-bottom prices, which means we make these fascinating animals available to you affordably as pets, or even to start your own reptile breeding project. We are reptile enthusiasts who believe captive breeding is integral to the future of the market, as it not only helps protect wild herp populations, but is an incredibly rewarding experience that tends to intensify one's passion for these amazing prehistoric creatures. Whether you buy a snake, lizard, turtle, tortoise, or alligator, we are driven to provide the highest quality live reptiles for sale.
Amphibians are generally slower-moving than reptiles, and have uniquely moist skin which means they are never far from a source of water. Their life cycle is nothing short of incredible: they hatch in water, spend weeks or months in metamorphosis, then become either terrestrial or remain primarily water bound. Some salamanders even breathe through their skin! Our live amphibians for sale online include frogs, toads, salamanders, and newts. Some are huge, some are small, and virtually all are amazing to observe in captivity. When you buy amphibians from us, you can rest assured they are fully guaranteed to arrive alive and in great condition. Why not start an amphibian breeding project today?
Reptile and amphibian food should be varied, which is why we offer an array of feeder insects for sale. It's always far more cost effective to buy feeder insects in bulk, which often saves up to 70% off pet store prices. Plus, the feeders are delivered right to your doorstep. We offer live crickets for sale, as well as dubia roaches, mealworms, wax worms, nightcrawlers, and now even lizards, all at the lowest possible prices. Our reptile and amphibian feeder insects and lizards include a guarantee of live arrival.
