Got our website up and running now where you can go to scroll through our currently available animals, rescues who need rehomed, and animal videos for education and entertainment, along with cheap 2nd hand supplies for every animal under the sun!

The video archive hasn't been uploaded yet, but we'll upload more every day forever so check back! You can also schedule a tour of our "zoo" or invite us to bring some of the animals to your party. Our classroom here holds 12 kids so lots of possibilities!

Let me know if you have any questions or if you find any typos 🙃
Thank you!

What do you guys think of hybrid pythons?
These are pictures of Burmese/ball pythons called BurmBalls off of google, but we should have our own next spring 🤞

Roach chow available now for only $2.50/lb!

As far as I know that’s $1 cheaper than the cheapest chow out there!

23g of protein from a variety of grains to make your roach colony explode (in a good way).

We have around 30 lizards that eat roaches and we still have more roaches than we know what to do with. We use around 10lbs/month to feed all of ours, and we have at least 1,000 roaches.

One thing I’ve been horrible at is showing off the animals that we have around here just for people to enjoy. We’re going to make a big push to prioritize educational and entertaining videos on YouTube and Rumble and our website is under construction right now to make our collection and calendar easy to browse and navigate.

Our shop will be open this summer for appointments, so if you’d like to come see the animals and interact with them just send us a message sometime in June and we’d love to have you over!

This is Jimmy our Ackies Monitor. He’s fat because he just ate a bunch of Dubia roaches. In the comments I put a photo of an adult off Pinterest. These are the smallest monitors and come in red and yellow. Jimmy is a red. Super easy to care for and lower on the medium range for initial cost of a monitor. Probably the best all-around monitor for a family except a Komodo dragon of course 😜

Each week I’ll post a preview video of an animal here and Instagram and then make a care video to post on the video sites, so look for those and let me know if you have any questions about anything you see, thank you!

I don’t encourage trying to watch this video.

Officer laughing as they murder this guys snakes. 34 pythons and a boa. He wasn’t supposed to keep large python species in Florida because those snakes, if let into the wild, destroy the eco system and are a danger to people if they get too big. But death penalty for the pets who haven’t hurt anyone and couldn’t even eat a beagle? Not relocating them or selling them?

And they murdered his pregnant boa constrictor, that was not illegal at all, who was carrying up to $100,000 worth of babies.

I cannot imagine what I’d do.

The supervisor in the grey shirt yelled at them, and the whole world gets to see some of their faces, but heartless people like this should not have authority of any kind.

“I’m just doing my job”

All on video thankfully because they have to show they killed them humanely.

The government only has the authority that we let it have. Time for some changes, eh?

I try to not make controversial posts on the business page, but I feel very strongly about this and cannot stay silent.

The only animal we will recognize in festivities this weekend is the Easter Platypus 😌😆

Another entry into the “lazy animal naming”archives 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

This fish with glowing organs and a transparent head, allowing for vision of it’s brain mechanisms that look like a botanical globe or tropical island trapped inside glass, was given the name Barreleye Fish because it’s eyes are long like a gun barrel 😑

To be fair, they named the fish 90 years ago before they could tell it had a clear head or glowing organs. But it’s time for an official renaming ceremony! What would you name it?

I vote for “Fish Bowl Head Fish” 😂
