heir own. After moving to a house, Josh utilized the space in his garage, where he expanded in selling other products as well and hiring his first couple of employees. His dedication to customer service and quality supplies quickly led to a growing success. In 2009, the company moved to its 1st facility in Corunna, Michigan, where it only employed about 4 people but continued to grow. With the extra space, we were able to bring plant propagation, care, and shipping in-house and were able to carry a full line of live plants for dart frog vivaria. We continued to expand our product selection and further develop our own product line, but we quickly began to run out of space! In 2013, Josh's Frogs moved into a 37,000 square foot, 5-story warehouse in Owosso, Michigan where we currently reside and employ over 100 people. We’re now the largest online retailer of reptile and amphibian products as well as the largest breeder of captive bred dart frogs in the United States, and probably the world. We’ve utilized this large space to greatly increase the now even wider variety of live plants, animals, and feeder insects that we offer. However, being the leaders in the industry, we are trusted as a hub of helpful information via our website, blogs, videos on our YouTube channel, and other social media. Our knowledgeable staff is always willing to help in any way that we can. The following philosophies drive our business:

Customer Service - We’re dedicated to providing the best customer service in the pet industry by responding to customers in a timely manner and checking emails/voicemails/chat messages several times per day. Captive Bred Animals - You will never see a wild caught animal for sale at Josh's Frogs. We take great pride in providing only healthy, captive-bred animals. Education - Josh's Frogs is dedicated to teaching proper husbandry of our animals. When you order from us, you’re not just purchasing an animal or product, you’re also purchasing the available services of support and information that is provided to you before, during, and after your purchase. By truly caring about you and your pet’s needs, we have grown to what we are today and owe many thanks to your loyalty!

There are few tarantulas that are both as beautiful and as dramatic as the Colombian Giant Red Leg Tarantula (Megaphobema robustum)! They are known for their exaggerated movements as they spread their legs to maximum width and raise their butts straight up in the air. They will do this to intimidate you if you try to give them food. They will do it when you give them water or remove boluses from their habitat. Heaven forbid you move their hide log! Absolute tarantula tantrum! An adult female may reach a legspan of up to eight inches, so her moods are not to be taken lightly. You can see why people keep them, though. Those electric crimson legs and that bright ring around their carapace are just so pretty! 😍😍😍

Finally, a “purple” tarantula that lives up to its name! There are quite a few tarantulas that have purple in its name that don’t seem to live up to the word. Tarantulas such as the Violet Tree Spider or the Purple Earth Tiger may have a purple sheen when seen in the right light, but not enough to justify the name. This Ecuadorian Purple Pink Toe Tarantula, like most of its close relatives, was born with pink legs and black “toes”. She is actually just starting to show the profuse, metallic purple that will cover this entire spider, except for the famous pink “toes”. Even now, she is stunning! 😍😍😍 We will keep you updated with new pictures as she grows and develops into the purple rock star that she will one day be! Do any of you have purple tarantulas? We would love to see pictures or hear about them in the comments below!

Meet Sith Lord, the Darth Maul Tarantula, Psalmopoeus victori. As this tarantula approaches maturity, she will be a more uniform black in the front and red on the back half of her body. Right now, at this stage in her development, she is also showing off some shiny, metallic greens on her carapace and abdomen. As a member of a species with an infamously short temper, I have to snap pictures of her quickly, before she either rises up in threat pose or bolts into her hiding space. But, I would say that her beauty commands as much respect as her attitude does!

🐜🕷️ Many people are afraid of insects, but did you know that we couldn’t survive without them? And I'm not just talking about the honey bees; insects like wasps, cockroaches, and even mosquitoes play essential roles in our ecosystem too! Sure, they might bug us 😄, but every other animal and plant we love depends on their presence. If insects were to vanish, our environment would spiral into chaos! It’s a mind-boggling thought, especially considering that if all of humanity disappeared, the Earth would return to the balanced state it enjoyed thousands of years ago. Despite our technological advances, life as we know it would grind to a halt without these little critters. Why is that? The reasons are both simple and complex. For one, almost all insects are essential pollinators and act as nature's cleanup crew! Without them, countless plants, including those that produce our food, wouldn’t be able to reproduce, and dead plants and animals would pile up without insects to break them down. 🚮 Think about this: in the rainforests of central Africa, all the insects together weigh more than all the vertebrates combined! 🐘🦍🐍 Imagine that… these tiny creatures surpass the mass of all the forest’s elephants, gorillas, birds, reptiles, and other animals with backbones. 🏋️‍♂️ It’s a powerful reminder of how vital insects are in keeping our ecosystems balanced, from pollinating flowers to cleaning up the forest floor. 🧡 That’s why, at Josh’s Frogs, we take special care to ensure that no insect or animal is ever released back into the wild.🚫 This helps protect natural ecosystems from disruptions and keeps local wildlife safe. Josh's Frogs strives to connect people with nature and strongly believes that the keeping and breeding of animals in captivity should have a direct, positive link to wild populations. We've put this theory into action with our Josh's Frogs Conservation Initiatives. Through direct partnerships with key co

Our Story

Josh's Frogs is an inspiring story of success from humble beginnings. It was all started in 2004 by Joshua Willard, a former pastor, dart frog hobbyist and vivarium enthusiast. Josh made flightless fruit fly cultures to serve as feeder insects for his poison dart frogs. From his apartment, he started selling the extra, pre-made fruit fly cultures as well as supplies for kits so others could make their own. After moving to a house, Josh utilized the space in his garage, where he expanded in selling other products as well and hiring his first couple of employees. His dedication to customer service and quality supplies quickly led to a growing success. In 2009, the company moved to its 1st facility in Corunna, Michigan, where it only employed about 4 people but continued to grow. With the extra space, we were able to bring plant propagation, care, and shipping in-house and were able to carry a full line of live plants for dart frog vivaria. We continued to expand our product selection and further develop our own product line, but we quickly began to run out of space!
