Our Reptile Blog

Backwater Reptiles is an online company specializing in the captive breeding, select importation, and sale of many species of reptile, amphibian, invertebrate, and even feeder insects.

We’ve had a tremendous amount of experience working with both common and rare species and this reptile blog’s ultimate goal is to keep you informed, educated, and entertained when it comes to the care, conservation, and breeding of these compelling creatures. Everything from lizards to snakes to tarantulas and scorpions, and everything in-between, will be covered!

At Backwater Reptiles, we know that hobbyists and enthusiasts are our main clientele and we want to nurture their passion for these special animals – especially since it’s what drives our team too!

If you subscribe to our blog, you’ll be delighted by photos of our fascinating and rare new arrivals, captive bred babies, as well as helpful tips, tricks, and care advice to help your critters thrive.

We’re lucky enough to have a “job” that is truly rewarding on so many levels. Not only are we helping to conserve species, we’re also genuinely excited to share our learning experiences along the way to help further the successful captive husbandry and breeding of these captivating animals. We invite you to share in our passion for these creatures that have become such a rewarding part of our lives!
