Hey, folks -- lately, a Richard Porter, going under the business names of "Reptile Realms" and "Reptile Buyers Collective" has popped up near me in San Jose, CA. I can't find any info on the guy, no history or reputation. Has anyone heard of him?
 
Rick reptile realms

I have been dealing with Rick with the Reptile Realms for a little over 2 months. We have been doing some feeder swaps some of my bearded dragons and dubia for his silkworms. All my transactions with him have been flawless and his silkworms are great. Seems like an all around good business man.
 
I've seen "Reptile Realms' posting 'breeders wanted' ads on our local CL over the last month or so. Looks like they plan to open this summer, here's their current listing which is just announcing the shop.

Reptile realm in San jose

If you want to get ripped off this is the place PayPal order never sent called him sent email and still kept my 26.00 don't buy bad business
 
I know Rich from CCHS, he also hosted the show last spring in Pleasanton. I don't have anything that takes insect feeders, but I know a few people who buy from him regularly and continue to go back to him. He's a great guy to hang out and talk with, and has been pretty regular at the shows around here so far. I'm sure more people will post business experiences with him. Once he gets into rodent feeders, I'll be going to him for sure.
 
I've purchased crickets by the 1,000 count from the collective. I think I've purchased the beginning of the week and they've shipped out early the very next week.

Can't say anything too bad about them, especially since there was a bit of an over count and not too many other critters than crickets in there.
