Specialising in
captive bred Arachnids from around the world since 1986
The Spider List has been updated to reflect some changes in sizing as well as a few new items. Canopy Jumpers (Phidippus otiosus) are running low, but still plenty of Regal Jumpers (Phidippus regius) left and Brilliant Jumpers (Phidippus clarus) are still on the way! We are still waiting on a date for the upcoming shipment which will contain lots of rarely available true spiders, such as Red Widows (Latrodectus bishopi), Ghost Wolf Spiders (Hogna sp. "White"), Velvet spiders (Eresus and Stegodyphus), Golden Silk Spiders (Trichonephila clavipes), Spitting Spiders (Scytodes longipes) and even a new species of Huntsman (Heteropoda sp. "Black Lightning") as well as Trapdoor and Purseweb spiders!! Many popular species are back in stock (versicolor, juruensis, cyaneopubescens, murinus, irminia, etc) and a few new and rare species such as Theraphosidae sp. "Kingfisher" and Thrixopelma sp. "Purple/blue" have been added! Also back in stock by popular demand are Chilean Dwarf Flame (Homeomma chilensis) and Chilean Rose Hairs (Grammostola rosea "RCF"). We know that many of you have been waiting a while for these, so we brought in as many as we could =-D Check out the list for all of the details!
Many of the scorpions are starting to run low, but a new shipment is on its way with plenty of American desert species. We will have two species of Desert Hairy (Hadrurus arizonensis and obscurus), three species of Bark Scorpions (Centruroides hentzi, gracilis and sculpturatus) as well as Dune Scorpions (Smeringurus mesaensis), Deathstalkers (Leiurus quinquestriatus), Southern Fat Tails (Androctonus australis) and Striped Tailed Devil Scorpions (Hoffmanius spinigerus)!! We also still have decent numbers of Dictator Scorpions (Pandinus dictator) in stock for those looking for a breeding project!! Large and impressive, these highly sought after scorpions are difficult to come by and we've been waiting for some time! Available in a range of sizes from babies to adults, there are some for everyone!
New to the Other Invertebrates list are four species of Tailess Whipscorpions (Phrynus barbadensis, maesi, marginemaculata and whitei) as well as Egyptian Camel Spiders (likely Galeodes granti)!! Cameroon Longtail Centipede babies (Rhysida longipes) are ready to go and we still have some Malaysian Cherry Red Centipedes (Scolopendra dehaani) and a fair number of Texas Giant Vinegarones (Mastigoproctus giganteus) left as well! The Isopod list has also seen a few minor updates as a few have since sold out, but we still have Cubaris sp. "Panda King" and "Papaya" as well as a range of Armadillidiums. Quantities are limited on many of these, so get yours now while supplies last!
The Reptile list has undergone major changes, mostly to include the upcoming Indo shipment. We will be accepting deposits for some of these and expect them all to arrive next month. We still have a few very rare monitor lizards such as the Gold Spotted Monitor (Varanus boehmei - one left!) and two colour forms of Peach Throat Monitors (Varanus jobiensis)! Be sure to check out the new list right away as there has been a lot of interest in some of these and they are sure to go quickly. Still have a few Caiman Lizards (Dracaena guianensis) as well, but these CB babies are very rarely available and are going fast. Feeding primarily on thawed snails, they also take chicken breast and hearts as well as egg, these will be the last of the year and we guarantee the best price in the country!
New to the Miscellaneous Goods section are new spiderling enclosures! These are available in 2 sizes (3"x3"x1.5" and 4.5"x4.5"x3") and come complete with substrate! We are also clearing out some critter keepers and will be offering these at discount pricing for pickup and air cargo customers. Though we can also ship these by mail, please be advised that the larger volume may affect shipping rates. Also new are reusable shopping totes at 3$ each or 2/5$. Measuring 13"x13", these polypropylene bags are over 4" deep (ideal for carrying deli cups at expos!) and strong enough for small grocery runs! We have also updated and streamlined the rodent pricing. We will be continuing to stock pinkie, fuzzy, pup, weanling, small, medium, large, XL+ and Jumbo rats as well as all sizes of mice. All other sizes will be available for pre-order only. ASFs will also only be available for pre-order. Prices are now available for prepackaged lots as well and larger orders will be eligible for further discounts - please inquire when ordering.

Want to get sneak peeks, special offers and who knows what else? Join our mailing list by emailing us with "mealworm" as the subject! I do apologise for the latency of this mailing list, but it is one of the last tasks to get done and the care of the animals (and our customers!) always comes first!! The bright side? The longer it takes to get the mailer out, the more likely a surprise special will be in it ;)
