Where to buy insects? (Website) - Repto - 05-10-2014

I'm looking for a website where I can buy insects, PETS, not feeders, for cheap with cheap shipping because I can find no website AT ALL like that.

Where do you live? (country)
What exactly insect species are you looking for?
It would be helpful to know these information for a better answer.

Most places only sell insects as feeders. If they are the right species you want, then what is the difference? Smile Just buy feeders and keep them as pets as you wish.

You can check out the following pet shops if you are in the U.S.

There are lots of providers online, depending on what you want. This mainly applies to cockroaches and spiders (not insects, I know). Really, you can get a lot of stuff from a biological catalog, my dad was a teacher and use to let me order bug catching equipment from it. You can get stuff like butterflies, mantids, beetles, etc. If you want more exotic stuff you're going to have to look online. There's a dude on tumblr, Bogleech, who's a pretty big expert on stuff like this and he's pretty friendly, you could ask him. He's currently keeping leeches but has hissing cockroaches as well. He knows where to get stuff.
