Dubiaroaches.com vs gotdubia.com?

Are these 2 sites the same supplier? They have the very similar sites and prices, and gotdubia is advertised on dubiaroaches for their 10% off sub and save.

I clicked on the gotdubia link because dubiaroaches didnt list any quantities above 200. They too are sold out of the higher quantities, but show listings for up to 1000. (Side note- 1000 1/2" dubias for 60 bucks?! That seems way cheap compared to what else I've found) Thoughts?

Anyway, I've got orders from a abdragons and dubideli coming this week to try out a few different vendors but I really just want to find a reliable place I can make a large order. Every site seems to be running low!

The two are associated, but I'm not sure exactly how.

I think we paid around $95/1000 (less by subscription) from Reptile Deli. Very satisfied w/ product & service (speaking generally, it doesn't help to get 'em cheap if half of them arrive dead/dying).

Fluctuations in supply & price are (IMO) to be expected--it's a competitive business. To compete, one (or more) vendors may run a sale, word gets around, and their supplies get temporarily depleted.

Personally, good reliable supply & service are worth more to me than nickel/diming price every order.
But I'm old & crotchety.

I'll check out reptile deli! I'd rather pay a decent price for good quality, rather than get a load of dead ones.

I ordered 200 from 3 different places (all of them were around $25 for 200) just to see what they were like because my closest pet store is 35 miles away and only sells supers and crickets... and I really hate crickets. Plus Dezzy is a roach lovin boy. I have supers and silk worms on hand to throw a few in a day to stretch the dubias I ordered before I got him but he really just prefers the dubias. I also have some bsfl coming so I'm curious to see how he likes those!

You never know--they're all different. I had bad luck w/ BSFL, but I know others swear by 'em. ZaRDoZ is a roach vacuum. I too ordered supers to stretch them out (1000 dubias last him about a month) and it turns out that while he still loves his num-numz, he loves the worms even more, always going for them first, and slurping them down like spaghetti. He's so full today from pigging out yesterday that he hasn't come down from his tower since gorging himself last night--even slept up there for the first time ever. The little glutton. :lol:

IME, the closer you can find a vendor you like geographically, the better. We're close enough to get orders next day by Priority Mail. They come from Reptile Deli in burlap bags insulated (hot pack if warranted) and in a Priority Mail shoe box. Very professional. I think maybe 2 or 3 dead roaches, but the 1000 is really more like 1100.

That's the issue, lol, finding a supplier close to me. I'm in middle of nowhere Iowa. ? More research is needed on my part, I suppose!

I can't vouch for any of these (don't know 'em), but they're out there. A state (or 2) away may be just as good for next day.
