    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hello I'm curious in seeing what quantities of insects most people buy for their pets and also what kind of quantities would they like to see available! I understand most people may have more than one pet, I'm just trying to get an idea of what people are actually looking for. I'm also interested in seeing what sizes of feeder insects people are interested in buying. I'm operating a feeder insect shop online now. As of now I'm selling, mealworms, fruitflies, waxworms, and superworms. I also have isopods and springtails, I will sell them at a later time, trying to get some things sorted out with the USDA! I will be adding new inventory very soon. I'm just curious to see how many people would be interested in buying baby mealworms and superworms. Please comment! I would greatly appreciate any advice.
 
For my green eyed geckos I usually get 3 dozen large crickets a week. If I can. A friend gets a dozen large crickets for his lizard and tarantulas and a dozen superworms for his lizard
 
Right now I'm buying 2000 crickets, 2000 supers (large and "micro"), and then occasionally silkworms and/or hornworms every two weeks....I have a clutch in the incubator, so I'll need a lot more crickets VERY soon.
 
right now i am looking to buy 4000 adult crickets, i get half a case of phoenix worms monthly, i buy 1000 supers bi-weekly, 1000 2/3 crickets bi weekly, 2000 adult crickets bi weekly, 1000 wax or butter worms monthly, depending on what is in stock. i have 3 clutches in the incubator right now so come the beginning on jan those numbers are going to change. the current numbers are for 10 adult bearded dragons and 5 juvi bearded dragons.
