4. What happens if my bugs arrive dead?
Answer :
We guarantee live arrival. If for ANY reason your bugs arrive dead, we require a photo of your order within two hours of delivery. We offer replacements for dead insects. However, once shipped we are not able to intercept or change an order. We do carry insurance on every order so that if anything happens to an order while on transit that is outside of our control, we can replace your order worry free.
Disclaimer: Insects are carnivorous. If you happen to have one or two bugs dead due to nature, we do not send replacements for these. We do, however, send more than the order quantity every time so you can be sure you receive the amount you purchased worry free.

17. Why should I sign up for your emails?
Our emails include resources, terrarium ideas, reptile care, discounts, and updates. We won’t spam you or overwhelm your inbox. We’ll just give you what you need to get the most from your ReptiSnack subscription and bugs!
18. What about wintertime? Won’t they die in the mail?
The answer is no. However, we do recommend picking your ReptiSnack bugs up from your local post office in the wintertime if you aren’t home to receive them as soon as a delivery is made. We automatically make this change to your profile based on your location and notify you beforehand so you have the option to change it back if you so choose. However, we are not responsible for any damaged or dead bugs if you choose to receive them at your address in the wintertime.
19. Do Dubia Roaches stink?
Nope! Dubia Roaches do not release a musk like a lot of insects. However, they do poop!
If you don’t feed the roaches to your critter within the month after receiving them, you may want to consider cleaning their container so the frass doesn’t start to smell over time.

20. If the bugs get out – will I have to call the exterminator?
Usually no. They are not known to make a new home out of your home. In general, they will likely die before they are old enough to do that and they don’t reproduce asexually so even if they do happen to live longer than anticipated, they will live out their lifecycle and die without reproducing.
