Coupon code has spaces, is not 3 separate codes

Received this in an email a couple of weeks ago, doesn't appear to be a targeted deal:

"The Amphibian Research Centre's online store has had a massive revamp and the new store is now open for business!

The new ARCade still has the same great live insects and frozen rodents and the service you have come to expect, but it also has new features and better automation that we know will help you get the most from our service."

I've ordered from these guys a couple of times before and had pretty good experiences. They only ship orders on Tuesday each week to ensure the courier won't have the package over a weekend.

The crickets are typically larger and healthier then what you will get in pet stores.

Curious to see if the coupon code applies for ongoing deliveries, I guess I'll find out in a few weeks.

      Bit of an odd deal but feeding reptiles can get very expensive, very quickly. :)

      Live & Frozen Insects !!

    • richy_o on 28/01/2016 - 11:46

      not to mention pet shops don't really like you buying their live mice to feed to your snake. learned that one the hard way hhaha

      • Cozza38 on 28/01/2016 - 11:47

        Same thing happens when I buy up all their fish to feed to my turtles. Always get's a laugh!

      • andy19363 on 28/01/2016 - 12:35

        not smart…. live foods can do a lot of damage to a snake, particularly if they aren't hungry….

        Cold comfort food for snakes.

    I prefer Hungry Jacks' $1 frozen Cokes to frozen insects.

          fair enough, but I'm still childishly giggling at your nickname on here!

    Good opportunity to embrace new age cricket-eating. Crunchy, very high protein content, food of the future!

    • brongz on 28/01/2016 - 14:19

      it's crunchy for sure and i like it

      thats not a half bad idea actually

      imagine the noise they'd make when they get out. You'd just have to move haha

  • andy19363 on 28/01/2016 - 13:57

    Wow….. $40 shipping for a $30 bag of XL rats…..

    Nope….

      Damn thats not cheap at all.
      Demolition Man lied to us!!

    • Cozza38 on 28/01/2016 - 14:08

      I noticed shipping on frozen stuff wasn't great, much more difficult to ship. I think you need to buy bulk to see good savings there.

      Shipping live (Crickets/Woodies) worked out really well. A tub of 50 Pisces crickets is about $5 in a pet store, quality can vary depending on how long they've been on the shelf. Can get a small tub of 175 larger (3/4") from ARCade for about ~$15 without coupon, ~10$ with.

      Make sure to pick up the woodies, much more nutritious! The kids will love them!

  • wizzlesticks on 28/01/2016 - 15:40

    Christmas sorted.

  • bargdebarg on 28/01/2016 - 22:24

    I have seen a lot of things on the bargs. This is a first. Well done OP.

      this is one deal that if you only hear crickets it's actually a good thing!
