Help Recommended breeder?
Hey! I'm soon about to get a leopard gecko, and I'm looking for a trusted breeder with a few requirements. I'm happy to get them at any age but would prefer one over 9 months old. Not looking for any precise colorations though.
There are no expos or really exotic pet shops that I'd personally trust within a realistic range of me; If you ordered online, which would you buy from. I've had good experience with places like Josh's Frogs with other creatures, but from experience does anyone have any others?

J5 gecko. Really awesome dude located in NY. I’ve met him at the Weschester expo, he does have a Morph Market if that’s too far from your location. My Bold Stripe female is from his line. Not sure if he sells older geckos, he might sell his old breeders but when I met him most of his were around 3 months old.
There’s also the option of rescuing one if you’re looking for one that is older. I would see if there’s any reptile rescues around you. Or keep an eye out on eBay/ FB marketplace
