Today's Super Spooky Special is all of our previous super spooky specials! That's 10% off almost everything in the store as well as five piece coral packs for $100.

That's not all, though! We're excited to announce that we are expanding into reptiles! This will be a slow process so don't expect a crazy variety of animals all at once, but you can absolutely expect us to be your new favorite place to stop for crickets and soon enough all feeder items!
