Meg
Meg has been with us for over eight years, and is a deeply valued member of the Backwater family. She processes all the orders and runs customer service in its entirety. She's in charge of, well, everything.
Her expertise, cheerful attitude, moral compass, and uncompromising work ethic means she's a leader at our company and a pleasure to have as an employee.
She’s taken a real liking to some of her eight-legged critters and is really enjoying raising her young antilles pink toe, “Manson.” She also cares for a ball python at home, which her whole family enjoys.

Our Memberships
Backwater Reptiles is a proud contributing member of the International Reptile Conservation Foundation, as well as a USARK Gold member ($1,000+ donation level), and a member of USARK's Policy Advisory Panel. We highly encourage all reptile and amphibian hobbyists to join both of these top notch organizations as it's more important than ever to take a stand on all fronts. We also plant one native tree in Madagascar for each and every order our customer’s place.
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.
