"I ordered the crickets for my Bearded Dragon. They came in pretty fast. More then a few were dead. This was not a bad idea and saves trips to the store. However, I'm not sure the smell is worth the saved trips. Maybe I'm just not that good at taking care of crickets but the 5 doz. I get at my local store work out just fine and I don't ever smell them! Not sure if I'll attempt to buy 250 crickets again! don't get me wrong Marty LOVED them! Just not a good idea for me!"
