So what websites is everyone buying there crickets and worms? And do you get overnight shipping, usps,or 2nd day?
 
it really depends on where you live...most places are generally close in price, its just the shipping that gets you...i have used ghanns and armstrong crickets, and i know a lot of people on here us ghanns, but i would just check a few places and check out the different shiping rates...now that its getting hotter out, some places will only guarantee their crickets if they are overnighted...but just do some research (i.e. quick google search) and check out a few different places...hope this helped
 
Mulberry Farms is in California, and Coastal Silkworms. They both sell a variety of worms. I don't use crickets anymore but bought from a local breeder in my area for that.
 
I am using Mulberry Farms right now. The crickets I got were the healthiest I've ever seen....Very nice packaging and very fast. Fair prices too I thought. Have ordered butter/wax/silk and crickets from 'em and will continue to do so. Very happy.
 
I go to a local reptile shop that sells them for 10c each. Don't really get a lot of them since I have roaches, so spending $10 on 100 is fine to me.
 
It does depend on your needs...If you just need 10-20 a week you probably want a local store. I really recommend Petco, their crickets have been utterly clean of plague as far I can tell. I've bought them and kept them for 2 weeks without appreciable death. If you need more per week, then Petco ON LINE does offer crickets with a low shipping charge.
 
Timberline feeders supplys petco and petsmart. check there web site out if you want the crickets those 2 companys have.
 
Since you are in SD try LLL Reptile I have had good luck ordering crickets from them in the past. You could pick them up at the store too.
 
Depending on where you are in San Diego, American Cricket Ranch might be a good option.

You can call ahead and pick the crickets up with no shipping or handling charges. They sell 1000 crickets (any size) for $15 or 500 crickets (any size) for $12. They have both black and brown crickets in the smaller sizes, only black in the larger.
