🕷️🎃 Creepy Critter Feature: Whip Spiders! 🎃🕷️

Don’t let the name scare you — whip spiders (also called tailless whip scorpions) look like something straight out of a Halloween movie, but they’re actually harmless! 😱

With their long, whip-like legs and flat, alien appearance, these nocturnal hunters use their feelers to sense prey in the dark. 🕸️ Despite their spooky look, they don’t have venom or fangs — just a frightfully cool vibe perfect for spooky season! 👻

🐠Fish Fact Friday🐠
Meet the Albino Hoplo Catfish! These gentle giants are peaceful bottom dwellers that bring a beautiful touch of creamy white and pink to any community tank. 💛

Albino Hoplos are social fish that thrive in groups of three or more, so be sure to give them some friends! They’re also active explorers and can even breathe from the surface using a special adaptation. 🌬️

To keep them happy and healthy, they need at least a 30-gallon tank and plenty of room to roam. Hardy, friendly, and full of personality — they’re a great addition to many community setups! 😍

Our Story

In the year 2000, a little girl named Molly dreamed of one day having a pet shoppe better than the rest in her town. Even at the young age of 12, she knew she could give critters the care they deserve, and her father knew it too. Inspired by the twinkle in her eye and heart on her sleeve, Gayland Bourland left his career in furniture to make his daughters wish a reality. Almost two decades later, it’s no surprise that Molly, now with a degree in animal science, has joined her father in running Noah’s Ark Pet Shoppe. Even her son, Elijah, is in on the gig, providing love and care to the future pets of Effingham. With amphibians, birds, and furballs galore, we have everything you need to make your child’s dream come true.
