Many of us keep multispecies tanks and often are looking for small lizards that can be kept with dart frogs or glass frogs.
Not everyone can afford Neon Day Geckos, that certainly are a nice addition to terrarium full of plants.
We have received group of Yellow Headed Day geckos from Central America (Gonatodes albigularis)
Pictured here is an adult male, females are not as pretty, but good news is, we have more girls than boys. Females started to lay eggs for us, so soon we will have more of them.
This is very affordable option for small lizard to go to small tank.
Geckos are active during the day. They are fast and not handleable. Just for looking.

Red Eye Tree Frogs were not the only one in mood. Turns out there will be more tadpoles. This is going to be a busy year.
Last year breeding Blue White's have rendered us nearly 1300 frogs, that we distributed to many Pet Stores. We still have about 40 left and they are calling. Yes, Our yearlings are ready to breed.
Well, they are not getting bred just yet, as we have fully grown adults ready to go, and this is certainly a bedder way to go about breeding.
Like in past years, one did not have to wait long. On the 5th day, we got a spawn.
You can see it on the oak leaves in the water. Tadpoles will be hatching on weekend, or shortly after.
White's tree frogs are one of the recommended species to keep as pets. They are funny, easy to look after and quite handleable. Their colors are attractive too.
Once we are out of yearlings, we have to wait for a new cohort. That would be some time in late August.

20/06/2024

It is spring, frogs are in the mood.
We have brought in a group of Red Eye Tree Frogs and after some careful prodding that involved air pressure manipulation and temperature changes we were rewarded with eggs of this attractive Tree Frog. In second pic, you can see eggs changing shape to yellow "duckies" this is day 2 after laying. Day 6 shows fully formed tadpoles and day 8 first hatching and falling into water tadpoles.
Right now, we have about 300 tadpoles that quadrupled their size. All growing fast and looking good.
I think there will be special for them in September, when they morph into froglets :)
In a mean time, we still have plenty of adults (about 20) ready to go. If you want to try to breed them, this is certainly a good chance to do it. Time of year is right.

This was not exactly planned, but the moment baby tortoises see food, everything ceases to exist around them. This cutie absorbed in a piece of kale was easy to film. Dining on a Canadian maple leaf seemed appropriate for this locally born baby.

03/05/2024

Bunch of cute baby Leopard Tortoises are available for purchase on line.
We have received 8 little golf ball sized juveniles and they are looking for a new home.
Tortoises are few months old and are started on variety of veggies already. Shells are hardened.
Everyone is different! Variety of spot pattern depicting alien faces or hearts will actually melt your heart.
They are little eating and pooping machines. Constantly on the move.
This is a rare offer. We often get baby red foots available in stores. Herman tortoises and baby Russians are seen too. Those guys very rarely are bred in Canada.
We are lucky to present you a local breeder's success.
We can't tell gender yet.
Once they are past their baby stage, maintenance is very affordable. Leopard Tortoises are savannah dwellers. Adult diet consist in big percentage from hay. fresh veggies are only offered as treat, so by comparison to Red Foots, these will actually not eat you out of the house.
I expect them to sell fast. Give us call to select your golf ball. :)

02/05/2024

Over 70 baby dragons are being added to our availability list today.
Those Black Beardies, You would need to wait for a bit, until they get a minimum size good for shipping. Give them about 2-3 weeks.
We added zeros, Translucent High Colour, Translucent Hypo High Colour, Whitblit possible Hets, 100% Het Zero Hypos and many more.
You will find two new categories : Zero Nip and Select Ultra High Colour.
Zero Nip are animals with very minor tip nip - picture of what you may expect to get is included here. Price is reduced from the perfect looking animal, but the nip is very insignificant.
Second new category are Select Ultra High Colour. These are shown here with examples of adult animals, so you know what we expect those animals will look like.
This is a category from which we select our holdbacks and our individually priced subadult animals. They cost a bit more, but this is in fact a cream of the crop.
Jus because we could, I have added also picture of baby zero and whitblit side by side. You can already see a browning of the whitblit baby.
Finally Hypo Het Zero and Translucent Hypo Het Zeros are available as well.
If you want to run your own Zero factory, you would need those hets :)
Take a look and give us a call. number on Zeros and High end dragons are very limited. Time is of essence if you want to have a choice

29/04/2024

These beautiful dragons have just hatched! Talking about pursuing an elusive black dragon. That would be a good start.
Can anyone guess what they are? I will wait 24 hours and post what morph they are and how the colours hold as animal become bigger. I had my first black dragon hatch last year and I held it back.
Good luck everyone

11/04/2024

We still have several select subadult and couple of adult Bearded Dragons available for purchase. Those animals have been selected and kept as holdbacks for future breeding. This is a process that takes place constantly. We try to select the best, most attractively marked animals for next generation of quality dragons.
Excess animals from that project make that group. Each animal is individually marked and sold under distinct number. What you see is what you get.
these select bunch are usually males. We hold back the brightest coloured ones, but we will not need as many males for future breeding, so naturally, we happen to have excess number of them. Please check our section with subadult for full selection.
We plan to bring most of them to show on Sunday, so it is a good chance that many will be sold. If you are looking for this drop gorgeous dragon, now is the time to speak for it before we take them to show.

10/04/2024

Adult Red Eye Crocodile Skinks are all gone, but we have 5 adult pairs of White Eye Crocodile Skinks and very limited group of babies and young juveniles of both species.
Juveniles and babies are unsexable at this time.
Though White Eye's are not as dramatic looking like Red Eyes, they are my favorite.
When they close their eyes, bright white patch on the lid can be seen (see photo) giving animal the common name. Also, White Eyes are usually dark brown in colour - until they shed. Then, they get beautiful light tan colour (at the pics) for a while, until they "tan" to their usual dark brown.
Those animals are for advanced keepers. They require spacious terraria with dim light and plenty of foliage and hiding spots. Females lay one egg several times a year.
Because of their uniqueness and slow reproduction, those animals hold their high prices, especially of CB origin.
We will bring few animals to the show on Sunday. Reserve yours today!

10/04/2024

Rare Indian Leopard Geckos are now available for purchase. These are not variants of common Leopard Gecko. These are two separate species distinctly different from Leopard Gecko we are all familiar with. They are both Actually tropical geckos and require completely different set up. Both are tropical species, both grow to about same size as common Leopard Gecko. They do not have any colour morphs, but they are very attractively marked.
Pictured here are both juveniles of West Indian Leopard Gecko /Eublepharis fuscus/ and East Indian Leopard Gecko /Eublepharis hardwickii/
Both species are bred here at Massasauga Imports, but we have opportunity to bring different line of animals from local breeder as well.
Recently, West Indian geckos dropped in price and they entered trade now at VERY affordable price. Just several years ago it was not uncommon to see them fetching over 5000.00 USD
Today their price is only slightly more expensive than some morphs of a common Leopard Gecko.
If you are looking for something handleable, different from commonly offered animals - those two are it.

09/04/2024

Pacman Frogs are back in stock. .
These are popular frogs and easy to maintain with relatively inexpensive set up. They are perfect desktop pets. Small 12x12x12 inches tank is adequate to keep one animal.
Pacmans need to be kept separately to prevent their cannibalistic tendencies. Young frogs will try to eat anything that moves, including another frog of the same size.
Most Pacmans have same husbandry requirement, so you can have a collection of different colour morphs and species with similar set up.
one different is Budgett Frog, that is a close cousin of Pacmans and frog that is more aquatic than others.
We currently have: following species and morphs:
Pacmans:
Green, lHigh Yellow Albino (aka Pikachu), Strawberry, Blue Samurai and Gun Metal Blue Mutant
non Pacman frogs include young Budgett Frogs
You can place order for these with delivery to your store or schedule a pickup at next show In Toronto, which happens this coming Sunday.

15/03/2024

Log in today and see what we have got!

08/03/2024

We have two adult pairs of Spur Tight Tortoises, also known as Sulcata Tortoises that are looking for new home. Females are mature and are dropping eggs, but we have not hatched any babies. At this point, we do not want to continue breeding project and we are looking for someone to take over with better luck or find them new home, where they can be a pet tortoise. That role they got practiced very well!. They are curious and friendly animals. Will bring smiles to lucky owners.
These are young adults age 15-19 with carapace length between 21-24 for girls and 27 for boys
Log in to site for details, or give us a call at 519 833 7256

06/03/2024

As a part of our streamline of breeding, we are listing a number of animals for sale.
Red foot Tortoises are part of that group. We have currently 2 males and 9 females and we are looking to move them as a group or individually. Males, being highly sought after will go as last animals or as a part of a group only. Animals are in excellent shape. Please log in to website for full description and pricing.

05/03/2024

These cuties can be available if you have experience and live in area they are allowed to be kept.
Every animal comes with pedigree and proper paperwork trail.
Not being kept on hand , they require forward notice to be available for pick up or shipping..
Give us a call if you are interested.

05/03/2024

We are in the process of streamlining our breeding. Turns out breeding bit of everything, while giving you a lots of satisfaction and makes you feeling warm and fuzzy, does not translate to efficiency today's business requires to stay competitive in the marketplace.
We are reducing our Ball Python Breeding and it will be followed by other projects. You can take advantage of it by going to website and selecting animals you may be interested in.
All listed animals are in excellent condition, well fed accepting frozen food. I am listing both males and females, so if anyone wants to take them as breeding stock, they certainly can. Prices are well below market. All animals are proven breeders.
For a full list with pictures, please log in to website.

04/02/2024

We have few new additions to our availability list.
Juvenile Gold Dust Day Geckos are big enough to be offered and we have small amount to add to our selection. Baby Dragons started to hatch and first 12 babies are being offered for sale. I expect them to go fast, as this is the time of the year, when there is not many baby dragons available. First dozen has reached 4.5-5 inch size and is good to go, 30+ others are still too small , but will be added in few weeks time. Next hatchlings that are expected should be zeros, so all of you that are waiting for them, get ready. We should have zeros in our offer within a 5-6 weeks.
Butter worms are coming in steady and we have that gorgeous Yellow Cooks Tree Boa. that is going to be a very nice addition to anyone's collection.
Finally, Green Basilisks - great and magnificent creatures, but they require larger tanks. If you are looking for that feature display animal or think of breeding project, we have trio of proven breeders available. Contact us for details :)

26/01/2024

This is excellent time to remind everyone about variety of stock we have here at Massasauga Imports. At a time, when you only find barebone basics on other suppliers list, it is worth to take a closer look at our offer!

Adult Pacman frogs, Mexican Burrowing Pythons, Golden Cooks Tree Boas, Golden Day Geckos, Neon Day Geckos, Marine Toads, adult Red Knee Tarantulas, Magnificent Plumed Basilisks, Giant Double Crested Basilisks are those unusual, you will also find your staple Bearded Dragons, Cresties, Ball Pythons, Corn Snakes, Milksnakes and Kingsnakes.

These not so little lizards are amazing! They remind me of Green Tree Monitors. Very active , very inquisitive and smart, just like monitors. They are Green Keel-bellied Lizards (Gastropholis prasina), that originate in coastal rainforests of eastern Africa.
These lacertids are easy to keep in tall, tropical and well planted terraria. They are quite handleable and they tame easy. Before that happens lizard display a threatening behavior by opening their mouths and sticking long red tongue out.
We have several well started juveniles and some adults available for sale. They are CB animals from a local breeder.
I love those gems and I plan to hold on to some adults to carry on with the breeding program. Check them out on this short video.

23/12/2023

Just in time for Boxing dale starting NOW! We have 25% off Neon Day Geckos
Juveniles are unsexable at this size, so we cannot send you a guaranteed gender. But that gives you a good chance of getting females, even multiple ones!
New CB geckos and lizards arrived from another breeder. details tomorrow.

15/12/2023

This year Christmas and New Year will come on Mondays. That is going to affect times we can ship both feeder insects and reptiles. If you get feeders from us, you have already been contacted and you know how and when we intend to ship your feeders.
When it comes to Reptiles, this coming Monday, will be last chance to order reptiles in 2023 if we need to fly them to you! Week following next is Christmas week and week after that is New Years with all the logistical issues of this being a Monday.
To incentivize you to make this last push to get animals on Monday we will repeat specials from Black Friday.
We have great selection of Bearded Dragons as well, so please top up while we still have some juveniles and subadults.
There is no special for Beardies, as we are getting low on them. What is left however are really nice examples of some of more desirable morphs.
Your best selection is with Translucent High Colour Hypos. They represent most colorful of bearded dragons.

23/11/2023

Black Friday is upon us. here are some specials you can take advantage of and stock up for Christmas.
All animals are produced in our facility. geckos are well started (5-7 inches), frogs get about 1.5 inch and Ball Pythons have just been converted to accept frozen thawed. We have been hatching them late this season, so they all are still nice and small.
Cheers!

As some of you were aware, I had a separate retail company that were run independently from Massasauga Imports as a separate entity structured as corporation.
We have decided to close retail location and focus on breeding and distributing. From our usual business stand point, nothing changes for our customers.
The reason I am mentioning this is we have started a liquidation sale and if you were thinking on upgrading or adding any display units, wall display panels, cages or equipment, they can be had at significant discount. Lots of store chattels, equipment like fridges, freezers, display units custom made for Exoterras, heavy duty display racks, bins, shelving all is available at the discounted price. If interested, please contact me for a private viewing and/or list of chattels with pictures.
We have entered liquidation sale today and we plan to wrap it up in 15 days. Not much time, I know, but if you are in the market for extra equipment, it may be a good time to check it out

15/08/2023

Frogs are metamorphosing very nicely. Juveniles initially emerged green with mottled pattern, but now starting to develop first bluish tinge and you can already see some individuals displaying snowflake pattern. They received first feeding yesterday and all crickets are reported devoured.
Please log in for pricing through Massasauga Imports site. It is Important that you DO NOT LOG IN to green, ReptileStore.ca site. You can access your pricing through the other site, but since green site is meant for retail customer, they do not have price breaks designed for wholesaler and distributor.
Click on item and open drop down menu. You will see all price breaks there for 1, 3, 10, 25, 50, 100 and 200 lot.
Market is very receptive for this species, so it is good to act quickly to capitalize on the fact, that despite sluggish sales on pretty much everything, White's tree frog garnish quite a lot of interest.
We do not have froglets split into colours or snowflakes at this point, as they do not display full range of colour and pattern yet. This will change the moment we can discern this consistently. This is another opportunity to score higher valued morph at discounted price.
Give us a call and book your shipment today.
While you are at it, do not forget to add some Bearded Dragons and crested Geckos.
Dragons are 6-7 inch long, cresties are 5 inch long. well started with great colour and morph selection.

11/08/2023

Hello everyone.
Frogs started to come out of the water. We have over 100 animals so far. Most have remnants of the tail, but tails will be absorbed by Monday. Size is much bigger than I expected. I was hoping for nickel size frogs, they are actually bigger than quarter as you can clearly see.
Log in to see generous discounts offered with quantity purchased. We have 1, 3, 10, 25, 50, 100 and 200 lots available. Those frogs retail between $70 and $100.00 ( slightly bigger than froglets, true, but with voracious appetite, I expect them to double size in a week. Take advantage of them being on the market first!
There are other news as well, like tons of colubrids hatching and plenty of Ball Pythons in addition to our Beardies and Cresties, but I will post about them in separate post

21/07/2023

High quality Dragons are available now to order from Massasauga Imports. Most dragons are between 5 and 7 inches in size and weight from 6 to 12 grams. These are not fresh out of the egg animals and you can get up to 30% off the regular price if you order in sufficient quantity.
We also have plenty of Crested Geckos - Select and Fancy type as well as our first ball pythons are hatching - they will be in quarantine for about a month - they need to feed on frozen thawed 3x before being put on a list.
To access quantity breaks you need to select animal in the pane and click on drop down menu to reveal quantity breaks.
Pictured here are from the top to bottom Translucent High Yellow Hypo, Translucent Orange Tiger Hypo and Translucent Zero

13/06/2023

Our breeding efforts are in the full swing. We currently have over 150 ready to go Bearded Dragons, 130 Crested Geckos and over 250 Striped Knee Tarantulas. All animals were produced in our facility. This situation puts us in an advantageous position to offer specials for animals that are purchased in larger quantities. Until overall numbers are reduced, we are putting all high stock items on price break sale. More you buy, less you pay Some of you are able to take advantage of it through multiple affiliated locations, but we made price break working for single stores as well. We have added other high number items to the special.
breaks are different for different species but generally are at 3 6 and 10 animals with discounts ranging from 15 to 30% off. If you want to buy even bigger numbers, additional discounts may be possible.
In order to see discounted prices open item, click on tab "price detail and you will see drop down menu with discounted price.
Our animals are not fresh out of egg. They would be between 5-7 inches in size and are about month old. Well started.
Zeros we have in good number, but they are still in quarantine to get to proper size before they are offered. That may happen by weeks end.
Similar situation with Cresties, big discounts and great variety of types an colours.
Our Stripe Legged Tarantulas are pushing for 3 inches and with discount can be lower than wild caught imports!
Check some of the samples here and give us a call.

09/06/2023

We haven't released social media post in a long time. But, until we hatch the eggs and get animals to proper size for sale, there was not much to post.
Well we are well underway with our breeding goals.
We have about 150 beardies ready to go and over 300 eggs still in incubator.
Morphs available include Hypomelanistic with occasional Hypo Leatherback,
Zeros, Hypo Het Zeros, High Colour Orange and Translucent Hypo High Colour ones.
pretty much every type you have seen last year as subadults.
Since we are producers, I will have some wiggle room to do good pricing in exchange for a volume purchase. I will release quantity deals on Monday either through email or we will set them up on line. Clicking on a drop down menu to reveal the price preaks may be the way to go.
Parental stock has been carefully selected over last two years and I am very happy with the outcome. We are looking to make price breaks for 3, 6 and 10 lots
When they hatch we have them at 4-4.5 inches size straight from the egg. Majority falls between 5 and 6 inch size as per picture.
Stay tuned for more deals as we have also overabundance of cresties and leopard geckos.

17/02/2023

Hello Everyone,

Things are looking up. We have first clutches of Ball Pythons, we have abundance of Crested Geckos hatching every day, Beardies digging like crazy and 2 pairs of Pacmans locked up and serenading all day long. But.. of course, there is but. With streamlining of our breeding programs we will be producing more animals, but smaller varieties. That will be addressed with our new consignment program, where we offer locally bred animals that are not currently on hand, but are available to us on a short notice.
Consignment reptiles remain under a care of people that bred them. When you decide to buy one of the Consignment animals, upon payment, we will get animals to our facility and be able to assess the accuracy as to health, gender and size, before proceeding with delivery to you.
Animals from this program will be clearly identified on the website picture by the marking. There will be a clear distinction they are not our own produced or acquired animals. Pictures and information are provided by breeders, so pics may look different that what we usually post of our own stock.
This initiative, should benefit everybody.
-Breeders will get access to wider market outside of their local area.
-You will get access to animals that otherwise we may not be carrying ourselves and you get certainty, that you are not dealing with misrepresentation, as we are a guarantor that your money sent to us will not be charged until we can verify accuracy of what is offered.
We plan to be selective to what gets posted as consignment. This usually will be reserved for rare or hard to get animals, that we would otherwise not carry as our own offer.
We plan to extend it only to captive bred animals.
So, here is our first offer of Chameleon Geckos - 5 juveniles. Please click on the link under first picture. You will have individual pics of all 5, so you can pick specific animal from that list. There will be also a bit more information as provided by the breeder.
Hope this new initiative works as we are looking to be your destination to all captive bred reptiles - no need to go looking anywhere else, lol
Cheers!
