Symton silkworms

This was my first time ordering silkworms for my beardie. They arrived in good condition, were of a decent size, and Azazel loves them.

Excellent sampler of feeders! As always quality bugs & fast shipping!

Very useful

Very helpful to sift the larva substrate out and leave just the larvae. But keep an eye on the larvae in the sifter if you just take them out one by one like I did. The sneaky little bugs take any chance to escape and somehow wriggle through the tiny holes!

68 Gallon Reptile Enclosure (36"x24"x18")

Love this enclosure

I love this Symton enclosure. Super easy to put together shipping was fast. I have “similar” type cages in 50 and 120 gallon. This 68 gallon actually was EXACTLY what I was looking for to house my Kenyan Zebra Skink colony. The screen is extremely sturdy here’s 2 of our cats on top of it.

Great

Quick to ship, everyone was healthy and doing great.

Good reptile enclosure for the price

Symaton makes a great enclosure. The cage is very easy to assemble and comes with a mallet to put enclosure together. Took me about 10 minutes to put together. Only thing I don't like about the enclosure is the plexiglass sliding doors... sand gets in between the panels and scratches them, besides that the cage is pretty good. I would definitely recommend this enclosure.

Compost colony

These are essential to organic trash disposal in my compost bins. It may be a bit early for them (because it's cold) but they know to burrow deep as they devour food scraps, vegetable waste, leftovers, cardboard, newspaper and junk mail. With the help of the earth worms I've introduced, everything turns into a black substrate that goes into the gardens.

Very light easy to carry. Good delivery

I liked the enclosure except the building process was a bit of work for me. I’m not so strong woman so I had to hammer so many times to get all hinges to fit all the way. Also I had to search YouTube for the actual instructions because I couldn’t figure out easily. Perfect size for my dragon in my relatively small apartment.

Silkworms (20 count)
Dean (Tampa, US)
My Bearded Dragon Gobbles Them Up!

Ordered a container when Symton first offered them. To be honest, there weren’t 20 in the container and some were DOA. When I did my standard order for BSFL, I also ordered another container of Silkworms but commented about not having 20 and some being DOA. So I asked that they add a few more to the container on my current order. To my surprise when I received the shipment, there were 2 containers of 20 Silkworms along with the BSFL..

Symton’s Customer Service is phenomenal! Thank you Lindsey and Symton!

Great stuff, great company.

Love the company! Their stuff is high quality! Just dumped a bunch of BSFL in a bin with compost and it gets turned into dirt! The cans are nice for shelf stable/portable food for our animals.

Ordered 1000 Jumbo

Received 600 large. Not sure what is happening they are usually good. Very disappointed lately.

Nice overall

The construction of the enclosure overall seems very nice and sturdy. I have not yet been able to put my king snake in it because the hole cut for the cord pass through is too small/mis-shapen and I had to order a replacement but it feels sturdy overall. All the other pieces fit together perfectly.

If I can I will update my review once my snake is inside and construction is done

Bad service. Website sucks!!

Did not put the hold at hub sticker on package so it got delivered to our mailbox in Arizona. Ugggh couldn’t cancel my subscription because the website is horrible. They used to be a great provider, now they are into to many products. Go back to being a feeder provider.

Better than ever expected!

I was kind of hesitant to buy because I couldn't believe the price. Instead, I got so many great alive worms at a price that was genuinely unbelievable to me. So glad I found this company and can't wait to try the scooper with my next order.

Live Feeders

I’ve ordered feeders from them a few times now. The bsfl, pupae, roaches, and hornworms have arrived healthy and mostly alive each time which is great…better than from other suppliers I’ve used in the past. However, two of the 3 silk worm orders were basically dead and rotted by the time they arrived. The other time, they were all healthy and alive. I’d love an option to expedite shipping to a guaranteed 2 day instead of the normal 3-4 day option so more silks arrive healthy. I wouldn’t mind spending a little more for better success.
