Stay clear of tastyworms- although they may be good for some things I believe their superworms made my beardie sick. Plus most of them were DOA. I'd just avoid them totally.

I have used a lot, over the years, and these are my favorite...

http://www.aaronpauling.com for roaches (he is in Arizona)
http://www.mulberryfarms.com for silkworms, butterworms, hornworms, supers and meal worms (they are in California)
http://www.ghann.com for crickets (they are in Georgia)
http://www.nyworms.com for all kinds of bugs (they are on Long Island)

I thought his dubia was SO overpriced.. I would rather buy from people on here.. I got over 450 mixed dubia including smalls, mediums, large and adults for $35 on here and that included shipping!

Yes.. I think there are still some selling them... they get sold out quick because they are such a good price on here

One more question. I have been just dumping crickets out of shipping box into viv but I can't really keep track of how many and such. What is a better way?

I use feeding tongs... you should really know how many you are putting in there, so you know how many you need to take out after your beardie is done so they don't get stuck in the cage...Crickets left in cage = very bad

gotta say i'm a big fan of reptiworms.com, ordered it and it took only two days to get to me

I love lindasgonebuggie.com awesome shipping practices. I stay away from reptiworm.com I ordered from them and all were DOA and all I got was a sorry your post office didn't hold them. Nothing worse than having to buy crickets at the fish shop or walmart because your 500 reptiworms were dead.

I'm a huge fan of reptiworms.com. There service was always kind, I've only had one problem and that was that there were a little less than I ordered. The next order she almost doubled my order after I told her the problem. Very Very nice company!
