Troglodillo sp ‘lamoa’ another one I’d given up on, started out with 8 of these guys and slowly whittled down to 2, in pleased to say that 2 were a pair and we now have lots of baby lamoas running around the tub!

ATTENTION!! COLD WEATHER DELAYS ❄️
Unfortunately due the extreme cold weather forecast for the next week i will be unable to ship any livestock or plants until the weather warms up. I understand this may be inconvenient and some people are still waiting for orders from the Xmas period but i must always put the welfare of the animals and plants 1st.
The website will remain open but I will not be restocking or starting the January sale until all current orders have been fulfilled.
I appreciate your paitinece at this time, trust me I would much rather get this sent out than hold on to it but I would much prefer live animals and happy customers :)

Check out these beautiful Thai rainbow millipedes doing their thing!
Not had any young from these for a long time so fingers crossed for the pitter patter of 1000’s of tiny feet!
Red Spined millipede (xenobolus carnifex) and a shed load of young, taken me a good few years to get these up to good numbers as the young grow so slow!
