Reptile Realm

What's in the box: Live feeder insects grown on the company's own farm, such as crickets, woodies, mealworms, roaches or larvae, and you may also be able to add dried foods, supplements or habitat supplies.

Reptile Realm is a family-run Australian insect farm that sells live, dried and frozen feeders, and a Subscription option sits alongside its regular shop. Its main strength is range. It lists crickets, woodies, mealworms, Dubia roaches, black soldier fly larvae, superworms, giant mealworms, fly pupae and silkworms, plus reptile salads, bee pollen, supplements and feeder fish. If you go through insects every week, buying repeat orders straight from a grower makes practical sense, and the company says its live food is live guaranteed. The main drawback is where it delivers. It only ships to QLD, NSW, ACT, VIC and SA, so keepers in WA, Tasmania and the NT miss out. Orders go out Monday to Wednesday, and you need to order before Wednesday 8am (7:30am in SA) to get delivery that week. Shipping is a $20 flat rate on orders under $150 and free above that, which adds a lot to a small recurring order. The site does not clearly explain how the subscription works, including how often it ships, what you can choose, or how to pause or cancel. Check those terms before you sign up. Beyond food, the shop also sells heating, lighting, decor, substrates and terrarium poster backgrounds, which helps if you want to add supplies to an order.
