Does anyone have a company they recommend for mail order crickets?  I've looked around and one of the best deals seems to be from LLL Reptile.  I've ordered supplies from them in the past and have always been happy.  Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Steve

You might try a good search engine (www.alltheweb.com for example), and start with your state...then work out from there in concentric circles.

You want a place that's as close as possible to you, so the crickets aren't in transit for long periods of time during cold or hot weather.

I've had crickets arrive in the dead of winter that needed to be warmed up...and some in the summer that were half dead.

Millbrook is in Georgia or Mississippi if I'm correct, and I'm in Buffalo, NY, but I've had a hard time finding good prices combined with a cricket dealer who's close to me.  M ost around me wanted 3 arms and a butt-hole for the crickets, and charged ridiculous amounts on shipping-as though coming across NY State was a trip to Abu Dhabi.
