Where to buy Stick insects

[pbcarney]

I'm in Victoria and I'm wondering where I can buy juvenile stick insects. I've tried some pets shops but they only sell half or full grown types adn the cost is prohibitive.
any ideas?

Try contacting Sdaji on this site. He did his honours on insects and I know he used to have them.
