Emeth Zoo

Emeth Zoo Emeth Zoo is a small “hobby breeder project” of gargoyle geckos, crested geckos, and praying mantis.

The name comes from the first two letters of Emmy’s name and the last three letters of Seth’s name, and was started as a "game" they played with their toys. Over the years they have hatched caterpillars and watch them turn into butterflies, they have hatched mantis oothecas (egg case) and watched them grow from tiny nymphs into large adult mantis which eventually laid their own ootheca. They have

also enjoyed collecting tadpoles and watching them grow into frogs before releasing them back into the pond we caught them in. In 2016 we purchased our first Crested Geckos, and the summer of 2017 saw our first geckos hatch. A few months later we purchased a pair of Gargoyle Geckos, and have produced some beautiful and healthy baby gargoyles.

Poe is loving his Christmas hide!

The plants in Poe’s enclosure are not only decorative - they are all safe for a Hermann’s Tortoise to eat - making for great enrichment and serve as part of a varied diet. Best watched with sound on to hear Poe’s crunching action.

It’s that time of year - we’ve had the dehydrator going pretty consistently for the last couple of weeks - drying native weeds, greens and flowers for the tortoise and uromastyx to eat over the winter.

We will mix the dehydrated greens and flowers with fresh food we have available to provide variety over the long winter months.

Today we have a combination of mallow, ribgrass plantain, greater plantain, calendula and snap dragon going into the dehydrator.

Emeth Zoo is excited to be at the Sask Reptile Expo is Saskatoon this weekend - September 14 and 15 at the Travelodge.

Emeth Zoo is the hobby project run by our two enthusiastic grade school kids Emmy and Seth, with a dash of dad’s support. Our passion for exploring the wonders of animal life-cycles evolved into a dynamic collection of dozens of reptiles and invertebrates!

Here's what we have in store for you at the Sask Reptile Expo:

Gargoyle Geckos: adorable and unique, plus we’re offering complete Starter Kits to kickstart your gecko adventure!

Praying Mantis: marvel at these captivating predators in all their glory. We have everything you need to get started.

Diverse Isopods: from colorful to charismatic, we have a range of these fascinating creatures.

Jumping Spider Enclosures: stylish and functional homes for your eight-legged friends.

We can’t wait to meet you and share our passion for reptiles and invertebrates with you!

One of the new jumping spider enclosures we built today - complete with a “Death Star” spider hide attached to the lid and some live moss and springtails in the substrate.

We are excited to be bringing some of our jumping spider accessories to the Sask Reptile Expo in Saskatoon on September 14 and 15. Hope to see you there.

Always a little nerve racking when you see your Grammostola pulchra (Brazilian black tarantula) lying on its back - the initial signs of molting.

In photo two you can see it starting to pull its new legs (blackish blue colour) from its old brown skin.

Photo three, Jill has almost pulled three.

Photo four - still lying on her back and exhausted - she looks almost like she did in the first photo. You will notice her fangs are white/pink. They will harden and turn black over the next week.

She will rest now for awhile before flipping herself over and walking away.

We had another ootheca (egg case) of Chinese Mantis hatch out this week - so it’s time to make some more flightless fruit fly cultures.

We will have mantis and flightless fruit flies available at the Sask Reptile Expo - only three weeks away. Sept 14-15 at the Saskatoon Travelodge.

Today is the day - we need to separate out our Chinese Mantis nymphs. If they stay together any longer they will start to eat one another.

Can’t wait to bring some of these to the Saskatchewan Reptile Expo - SRE on September 14 and 15 at the Saskatoon Travel Lodge.

Rainy day outside is the perfect time to clean out our colony of Diapheromera Femorata (Northern Walking Stick Insects). These are the only species of walking sticks that are native to Canada - found in Southern Alberta, Ontario and Quebec. They are enjoying all of the fresh raspberry branches.

It’s beginning to look like Christmas here at Emeth Zoo - and Poe, our Herman’s Tortoise, is getting in the holiday spirit. #emethzoo #tortoise #christmastortoise #hermannstortoise #christmastimeatthezoo #christmasatthezoo #saskstoon

Sold our first grouping of Rubber Ducky Isopods this week. This is one of the newer pods we are working with - and we didn’t expect to have any available to the public until next spring. We are so excited with the way the culture is growing! #emethzoo #isopods #rubberducky #rubberduckyisopods #duckyisopods

Love our little Rubber Ducky colony. #emethzoo #rubberducky #isopod #duckyisopod #isopods #rubberduckyisopods #saskatchewan #saskatoon

Creating some pieces for our gecko starter bins. We will have starter bins along with gargoyle geckos, praying mantis, isopods, jumping spider enclosures and more at the Sask Reptile Expo in Saskatoon this weekend - September 14 and 15 at the Saskatoon Travelodge hosted by the Sask Herp Society. Hope to see you there. #emethzoo #saskherp #saskreptileexpo #reptileexpo #saskatchewan #saskatoon

Went to check on our colony of Rubber Ducky isopods today - and there were lots of mancae (baby isopods). These are are first baby duckies - we have only had the culture for a few months - so we’re surprised (and excited) to see them this quickly! #emethzoo #isopods #rubberducky #rubberduckyisopod #mancae #saskatoon #saskatchewan

Zebra isopods are one of our favourites! They are so bold - always out and about! #emethzoo #zebraisopod #isopods #isopod

Once again, Poe has gotten himself stuck up in a hibiscus bush. How many times do we need to tell you Poe? Tortoises can’t climb trees! #emethzoo #tortoise #tortoises #hermannstortoise #tortoisescantclimbtrees #tortoiseintrees #tortoisesintrees #saskatchewan #saskatoon

Poe’s enclosure is an absolute tropical paradise - and everything planted in his enclosure is edible. Hibiscus flowers are one of his favourite foods - and part of a well balanced diet consisting of a wide variety of wild greens and flowers. #EmethZoo #hibiscus #hermannstortoise #tortoise #paradise #saskatchewan

Stick insects of all sizes are loving the fresh raspberry leaves in their enclosure! These are Diapheromera Femorata - the Northern Walking stick, and they are the only stick insect native to Canada.

Using the 3D printer to print a new vented lid for our praying mantis hatching enclosure. I find it mesmerizing to watch this thing work! #emethzoo #3dprinting #prayingmantis #chinesemantis
