Ok, so I have run into a slight problem. Long story short, my dubia roach colony hasn't matured enough to feed my dragon during the winter months, which leaves me to order online in the meantime. Problem is, I live in Ohio, and the nights can get cold this time of the year, well below freezing, and the daytime temps aren't great either. I'm not sure my dragon's age, but it's only about 8 in. long, so it's young, but eating a TON of bugs each day. Buying from the pet store is gonna be too expensive.
Does anyone know of any sites they've used that had really good shipping in cold weather, that I can buy in bulk? AKA, proper packaging, heat packs, holding for pickup, etc. I tried Dubideli once last month, but they forgot the heat packs, didn't hold at the post office, and I was just lucky the day they were delivered wasn't SUPER cold, so they somehow survived, but that won't fly in sub-freezing temps. Rainbow Mealworms won't let me order in the amount of roaches I need, and don't seem to have cold weather shipping, so they're out of the running too.
It doesn't have to be roaches either. Anything that can be a proper staple insect is all I ask for. I'd rather not deal with crickets if I don't have to though...they smell. I like my dubias. Haven't tried BSFL yet, but I'd be willing to. My dragon seems to go after anything small enough to eat that moves.
Anyone in the colder states have any good places they know of?
