You can always say something good about or recommend a vendor. You just can't critisize them or the Kingsnake gods make your post disappear. lol.

Since you're in California why don't you try lllreptile.com I buy supplies from them and they are very reliable. I'm in New Jersey and use Southerncricket.com im MS but I think you'd have the same problem with shipping time. One thing I will say about Southern Cricket is that they are extremely reliable and customer service oriented.

Googled and found this one in Lakeside CA.

If you're in California, there's a great cricket breeder in Oregon. I had maybe 1/4th of the crickets that I bought die from everywhere but her. These crickets are so healthy and lively that they made everyone else's look crappy. I havn't had one die yet that I didn't squish accidentally.
