Any feeder dealer in Phoenix, AZ area?

[Ciege]

Unfortunately with the current temps here in Phoenix, AZ I've had bad luck with getting in Phoenix worms. I am wondering if there happens to be a dealer here in Phoenix that sells Phoenix/Repti/Calci worms so I can forego the shipping.

I typically go to Arizona Reptile Center but they don't carry Phoenix worms anymore (or at least haven't for a year or so).

Thanks all...

The Pet Shop in Mesa, AZ, has fresh Phoenix Worms in stock. Contact them at [email protected]; their website is http://www.thepetshopaz.com.

It is a challenge to ship Phoenix Worms to Arizona customers in the summer. However, the worms are more hardy than most feeders and if the post office will HOLD FOR CUSTOMER PICKUP instead of delivering the package on a mail truck, we can often ship successfully even when temps are quite high. Write us a note on the "special instructions" page of the order and ask us to mark your package to be held for pickup. Then be sure to follow-up with your local post office to let them know you're expecting a Priority Mail package which contains live food and must be kept inside where it's cool. Riding for hours in a hot mail truck will stress or kill live insects.

Thank you for the info (both here and from our direct communication).

I did place an order from you with a Hold request. Once I figure out what PO my shipment will go to I will call them and re-confirm that request. Hopefully the shipment is wiggly!
