check at any reptile stores, they are usually the best places to find stick insects, or pick up a reptile magazine and look through the ads.

I am not sure about in Washington State because I am now in Canada, they have sold them occassionally here in the Odd and Unusual livestock auctions, but not sure about export laws. Ask around in shops that specialize in reptiles and lizards they might have a source.

I am a teacher and would like to buy walking sticks for my class and my students to enjoy. I have a 10 gallon tank with a screen top. Where can I buy them? I live in WA State. Any suggestions?

I am not sure about Wisconsin. I am in Alberta Canada, hopefully you can ask at your local livestock feed store if they have exotic pet auctions in your area, I am sure they do.

Hi,

I live in the Wisconsin and would like to purchase a couple native Northern Walking Sticks for my kids. We had found and kept one a couple years ago but haven't seen any since. Anyone have idea of where to purchase? I've followed up on the info already posted and hoping for some new news.

Thanks!

yes you can feed them to your fish. But it really depend what kind of fish you have – some wont eat them.. some will – if the fish is a carnivore it will but some fish are vegetarians and prefer plant matter and wont.
