Crested Gecko Situation & Josh's Frogs Reputable?

I am for sure purchasing my first personal crested gecko tomorrow and it was actually unexpected.

In my previous thread I mentioned the fact that I do plan to enter the crested gecko breeding world eventually and originally my plan was to buy my first crested from my local repticon that is coming up or from altitude exotics but while making some changes to my cart for my set up shopping spree tomorrow I came across a crested gecko listed and fell for it.

The thing is I shop for most everything reptile and aquarium related but I have never bought an animal from josh's frogs and I can't really find any reviews on their pets either so maybe you guys have some input into whether or not they are a reputable breeder or should I avoid them? Obviously the gecko I buy from them will stay solely a pet and will NOT be a breeder as I don't think they are too high of quality.

I'm mainly curious as to what I should expect from them and if anyone knows whether or not they truly do take care of their animals because obviously I don't want to contribute to anyone that neglects their pets whether i'm buying breeders or just pets.

Also has anyone had any experience with whether or not they ship everything from the same order at once and if they arrive at the same time? I would assume they did but i'm generally curious.

Note: Yes I have done PLENTY of research and I do have a large amount of knowledge on genetics and general husbandry when it comes to these pets, I have been in the breeding business with fish, my parents had a husky breeding business that I grew up into, and my uncle had always kept and bred reptiles so needless to say I grew up around breeding and therefore I know what all goes into breeding quality animals. Just because I had personally not owned a crested gecko yet does not mean I don't have the knowledge to do it and do it correctly. Last time I mentioned this I had someone talk down to me and treat me as if I was an idiot and I just wanted to make this all clear before something is to be said. Also no, these are not my first reptile, I currently own 4 leopard geckos which I do love dearly and are living great lives!! Also to clear the air i'm not breeding right away! I'm simply planning to do it in the farther future once I feel i'm comfortable with keeping them in general

 

I ordered a few dart frogs as well as dubias from joshs frogs. They all came in one package and was very prompt and well conditioned. everyone was happy and well taken care of.

Joshs frog actually has a youtube channel (Josh’s Frogs) that I recommend you take a look at. they have always been super friendly and have nice prices.

I have watched some of their videos before, I know I get my supplies there but the closest thing to anything live that I bought was springtails which is why i'm curious about the live animals and so on if that makes sense? I am also ordering 250 crickets as well

 

My friend got a frog from them (not sure what type) and she said he arrived healthy

Do you have the gecko tank set up already? Id love to see how you decorated it. I'm trying to find ways to redo my crestie's tank

 

id wait until spring if I were you so it’s not as cold out. just google joshs frogs unboxing and see people’s real reviews

 

I buy products from Josh, they have the best staff you could ask for, the packaging is great, and the overall customer service over the phone was wonderful.

Thank you so much, I ended up going with josh's frogs and couldnt be happier. Will definitely be going through them for plenty more things, in fact I'll problem stop going to petshops and just use joshs frogs for my reptile needs
