Hey all! Come stop by Gilbert Elementary school for a plant and aquarium swap (and some jumping spiders 😜)!

08/01/2024

Coming soon: P. regius slings of all ages! I'm working on getting them all photographed and assessed. But here's a sneak peak at one I'm holding back.

06/21/2024

Tulip's babies (laid 5/16/24) just hatched! These little i1 dots with legs are still hanging out in the egg sack until they molt into i2s. But I already find their little wiggly butt's very cute.

AND Penny laid her first eggsack yesterday (6/20/24)! So excellent timing on her part.

HUGE shutout to Shane’s Spiders for helping me fix my own goof!
I ordered some of their xs mushrooms ledges for my growing jumping spider and micro gecko armies.... and mailed it to my old address.... 😅
I emailed him to let him know to reach out to me if it gets returned to sender, and I'd be happy to pay to have them reshipped since it's my fault.

Not only did he reply... exceptionally fast... he gave me a discount to re-order some more (which he DID NOT have to do since it was my mistake).

Just opened up my box and I am SUPER happy with them. He also threw in 2 bonus ledges - the leaf and rock.

Can't express my gratitude enough! If you need spiders and/or spider related things or ledges.... I know a guy. 🤣

Be sure to check out his site too!

Smol 🤏 Update:

During my move I lost a good chunk of my isopod and jumping spider collection due to... an unforseen accident at my old place.

But! I am slowly working to get everything back up to s***f, and to set up my new office/reptile room *just* the way I want it.

And, maybe a little TMI - but I have anxiety, Depression, and ADHD and this last year with my roommate situation also took a toll on me. So I'm also recovering from all that.

I've had many of my friends who have reached out to help and support me, so no worries there!

I've also been adding some.... new babies to the crew.

Such as a colony of Gonatodes albogularis fuscus (1 of 2 species of "Yellow-Headed Geckos)
A crimson day gecko (if anyone can help me s*x it, that'd be wonderful)
2 baby Cresties named Boop and Snoot
Several new species and or/refresh of species I've had of isopods
And I have... 7 regal jumping spiders headed my way. 2 are confirmed gravid, the other five are TBD.

It may be a slow uptick as I get rolling again, but I appreciate all of you!

Hey. You. Got an itch for some isopods, spoods, inverts, or just all the things you need for all those Critters?

I have some friends. ;) I can 10000% vouch for each and every single one of these guys. They are some of the BEST people I've had the pleasure of knowing, working with, purchasing with and trading from.

Magic Mushroom Isopods - isopods
Kreidler's Critters - isopods, leaf litter, barks, the occasional mantis
PocketFamiliars - jumping spoods and some other pocket sized friends
Lichen & Leaves - isopods, roaches, millipedes, tarantulas, and more

If you need calcium though... I have calcium cubes! And a recent report from another friend has confirmed that snails also love them too!!

03/28/2024

Hey everyone, sorry for the MIA! Just got done with a lengthy move, and some issues that happened during said move.

I'm slowly getting back into the groove, though!

At this time, I only have calcium cubes available. Feel free to message me if you are interested!

In the meantime, to get your pod fix (or spider fix), check out some of my friends!

Information on shipping:

As it gets colder, I will be verifying zip codes with everyone BEFORE order is complete. This is to have clear communication - because if the weather is too cold to ship I'd rather be up front about it instead of asking for payment and then having you wait until it's okay to ship.

Keep in mind, I can ship isopods via UPS and USPS (I usually do so through UPS), BUT arachnids must go through FedEx - which is generally pricier.

Additionally, heat packs in addition to cryo packs may be required, and this goes for more than just me.

Please be kind to the people you order from and understand the increased shipping costs and weather delays.
