http://www.reevescricketranch.com
http://www.gourmetfeeders.com
You might also consider starting a dubia roach colony. In a couple months you have a selfsustaining colony and won't have to spend tons of money of buying crickets. Here are a few vendors that are awesome, and they are forum members. check them out if your interested in the dubias:

All of these guys have great bugs and great prices. And, their shipping is free. (except the cost of a heat pack or two).

For silkworms try:
http://www.coastalsilkworms.com
http://www.mulberryfarms.com

For hornworms:
http://www.greatlakeshornworms.com

A couple of these vendors offer many types of feeders, just compare the prices for each.
BTW, feeders like crickets should be no longer than the distance between your dragons eyes. Stay in that size range and the feeders won't be too large.

Im a big fan of flukerfarms.com... but thats probably because I live in NE Florida and they're stationed in southern louisiana, so I never have to deal with dead-loss on shipments. Plus their customer service is top notch.

omg thank you so much that helps alot, in have been wanting to start breeding the crickets but to me it seems like a pain needing 2 containers (tubs or tanks) heat pads at 20 a pop, food for the crckets and then if a few get loose im screwed lol i know they dont have a long life span without food or water but still

any info on colonies or cricket breeding?

i guess i might be able to build a cabinet and breed/colonize them in my basement even though its kind of cold but with heat pads and wood as insulation i think it may work

If you want to breed crickets/start a cricket colony, here a link to some useful info:
http://www.wormman.com/breeding_crickets.cfm

Are you considering a dubia colony? The setup for a dubia colony is really pretty inexpensive and dubias are quite easy to start breeding. If you want info on this, I can certainly get that for you too.

yeah if you have a link i would love to read it, when i get some cash together i would like to start both. will be a few weeks though :evil:

The setup for dubias is really pretty cheap: Large sterilite tote with lid, a piece of aluminum mesh screen (for the lid after cutting a hole in it), hot glue to glue on the screen, egg crates, water gel crystals (I get these a walmart in the garden center-make sure they have NO fertilizer/chemicals, cheap), and roach chow, and a human heating pad to provide heat under one end of the bin. The main investment is the roaches. Here are some links for you to check out:

All of these guys are great vendors and theres a lot of info on their websites on setting up/starting a colony. Send a PM to any of them with your questions, and I know they will get back to you right away and get you the info you need. I currently buy all mine from Marcus, and now have a small thriving colony of healthy bugs! I know we are all a little strapped for Christmas, but after the holidays, look into starting a colony, it's well worth the money and the effort.
You can get egg crates, water gel crystals and roach chow from these guys as well.
