has anyone bought from lllreptiles, because they do have really good prices but i was just wondering if they always produce healthy dragons, cause it feels like there more of a petshop scene then a breeder scene. I don't know. any info is appreciated.
thanks

I only know them from shows, and I was not impressed, they had dragons in tanks that was soiled, no heat and they were allowing anyone to touch and handle them. There were three kids going to all the tables and touching all the animals that tables allow and then trailing their hands over all the baby dragons in the tanks. These kids were handling turtles then the dragons.... not a smart thing

With all the nasty things we now know can be passed by human hands to bearded dragon, I would not feel safe buying from them. Even when several people made comments about it, the guy in the booth was indifferent to it

THAT did not impress me! People that keep their dragons from public handling do, in deli cups are covered cages.. at least you know hundreds of other hands have not touched them that day after touching others that could carry problems.

They are not breeders. They just buy to resale.

I was under the impression that most of their stock was from Dragon's Den, so why don't you just go to dragons den and buy a dragon straight from them?? They are at

Ive been on there sight before. They dont get all of the dragons from dragons den. There is a page thayt you can enter what you have andmost of the time they will buy them from you. I have tried this just to see what they give for there animals and they dont even give you enough to cover shipping. I would say not buy from them trie to find one from a breeder in the classifieds and bargain the price to where you want it. Hope the best for you.

I haven't bought beardies, but i have bought frogs. Excellent quality. I saw them at a show too. The one I went to had them in a heated tank and no one could touch them, lol. And it was very clean.
