Packaging
The majority of our locusts are packed fresh into recycled, vented plastic tubs containing cardboard 'egg' carton for perching and bran for feed on their journey to you.
Items marked * are usually packed in hessian woven sacks. If you prefer despatch in tubs please purchase multiple super-tubs; the per locust price will be very close in most instances.
Top Tip"XL, Large, Medium, Small are the most commonly ordered locust sizes as this wide range covers most uses and they tend to post better than adult or hatchling sizes, especially during extremes in weather"
Silent Brown Crickets are a staple feeder for most reptiles and amphibians, they are cost effective, easy to gut load and highly nutritious.

A new size of crickets, perfect for keepers of Dendrobatids and small geckos, is available now. The new ‘mini’ cricket, is a 5-6 day old house brown cricket that is larger than a ‘micro’ but smaller than a ‘small’. This means the insects are slightly more robust and the optimal size for poison frogs, which represents an increasingly popular area of exotics keeping. Approx 400 per tub. We would recommend ordering these instead of micro and are pleased to confirm they are covered by our standard live arrival guarantee.

*Micro crickets are too small for the vast majority of species, they are excluded from our live arrival guarantee. Please consider our new mini size.
Note on species: "Silent" is not a literal term, all crickets make some noise, larger sizes are supplied as g.assimilis and will be less noisy than other cricket species. Smaller sizes are g.assimilis or acheta subject to production.

NEW: 2 Species to Choose From
Regular Flightless Fruit Flies (Drosophila Hydei)
At approx 3-4mm long, D.hydei is the larger of the 2 species of flies we sell. Available in both cultures and tubs of flies only
*NEW* Golden Flightless Fruit Fly Culture (Drosophilia melanogaster)
A smaller species measuring around 2mm. This species is suitable for much smaller species of dart frog and invertebrate and also has a faster lifestyle than regular fruit flies.
We offer two different ways to buy fruit flies online at Internet Reptile; cultures (which hatch flies over time) and 'flies only' (which are hatched and ready to feed).
Cultures
This is the traditional way to buy fruit flies, each tub contains a mix of fruit fly media in which flies have laid their eggs. Simply keep the culture warm and the flies will hatch over a week or so giving an ongoing supply of fresh fruit flies. Depending on temperatures there may be some live flies at the point of delivery but this is not always the case.
Flies Only
If you need flies in a hurry, this option is just like any other livefood, its simply a tub containing flies which you can use straight away. Note that flies can be quite short lived so they tend to be best when you have an immediate need. Keep a slice of banana in the tub to help them last longer.
