sources for feeder lizards

Looking for sources for feeder Anoles and Geckos. My snake's natural food source is lizards and small frogs. Besides the two sources that advertise online sales of feeder lizards are there any others? Couldn't find any feeder frogs advertised.

I don't like the idea of feeding herps to each other. Can't you feed it pinkies?

You don't like it? The OP was asking for assistance, not our personal preferences.

Don't get a snake that requires a reptilian or amphibian diet.

Mourning geckos. Buy a lot of them and they produce fairly quick, no need to worry about sexes either as they are parthenogenic. Could also try to buy normal leopard geckos or beardies at wholesale prices so you know your feeders are cbb.

Re: sources for feeder lizards

LLLreptiles has feeder anoles and geckos for sale.
We have a Texas Longnose that refuses anything but native lizards and anoles and has for the last year. You'll get a lot of flack from people for feeding them lizards, but we try to keep our animals on as close to their natural diet as possible. Anything that eats amphibians and reptiles gets an occasional parasite test and gets treated for them if they have them. It's not that big of a deal and we've seen that there are many animals that don't do well on a strictly mouse diet (some garters and nerodia, some kings and longnose, etc).
