I now have my awesome( pat my self on back) tank set up for my new crested which i have yet to get yet. Im leary of ordering on line and every show i have been to in the last 3 months had not had any cresteds. Well I take that back lastshow had one but the guy kinda rubbed me the wrong was and had no info on it what so ever, could ven tell mw where he got it. Well any ways has any one had good luck/ experiences with online breeders... Im really starting to get impatient. Thanks again guys

You should have been at the NY show this weekend. They had quite a crestie selection. The other big things were snakes & frogs (most I've seen yet at a show). They were all pretty much hatchling cresties tho, and vastly overpriced for what they were (very few were listed under $65, the ave. being about $90 for unsexable, hatchlings). One guy had some decent ones (in age & price), but he had sold out of all but 2 by the time I got to him. He actuually knew what he was talking about...
Back to your question: I have not yet ordered from anyone online, but have heard many good things about Wild Eye Reptiles, ACReptiles & soem others I cannot think of at the moment. Browse through the posts & look for breeders that seem knowledgeable (oh, I totally butchered the spelling on that, but my brain's fried...). Good Luck!!

I just got a 6 week old crestie from him at the Indy show this past weekend and am VERY happy with my new baby. I'd highly recommend him. Very friendly and responds quickly if you have questions.

you're safe with any of the sponsors listed above in my opinion they are all reputable breeders. i have ordered from anthony caponetto once before and it was a great experience and i got a couple of great looking cresteds.

I bought my crested at the new york show last weekend. He wasnt one of the many hatchlings, I thought they were too small, some only 3 weeks. They had quite a few there, I bought him for $70. Try pangeareptile.com , or crestedlady.com , both reputable breeders. The ladys site I bought mine from is genevievesgeckos.com, mine is the 13th down, 43-14, I think, it looks just like him atleast.

garrick at crestedgecko.com is the only guy i dealt with and he's awesome

we're here because a hobby became an obsession... if only every one had this much fun

some days your the dog, some days your the hydrant...don't know who started this saying but it's the truth

I would definitely second this. I got a ball python from him and he was incredibally knowledgeable and adaptive. Instead of shipping he let me drive out to his facilities and not only did he give me a tour of everything but he let me ask as many questions I wanted to (even if they weren't about my snake) and NEVER gave me the impression I was wasting my time. I'm getting a crested from him within the next few months. Also, he has pretty fair pricing.

He did the same for me except i was picking up leopard geckos and bearded dragons at the time. I have been dealing with him for at least 4 or 5 years. He always relates to you more than a seller to customer. He takes the time to listen and provides an answer rather than just nodding his head. The more i saw the more i wanted lol. I havent been to his new facility yet its not that i cant its i havent had the time. I knew him when he had a basement full lol... Hopefully ill hit that point one day. The animals always looked great and he always puts a little information in with the sale.

That is really a spectacular enclosure you have there. As far as buying online, the vast majority of mine were ordered that way and shipped to me. I highly recommend Anthony Caponetto, Sandfire now Allen Repashy, Shawn at StickyFeetExotics or Garrick. If you buy from a reputable breeder, they will care enough about their reputation to make sure that you are a satisfied customer.
