Absolutely love how curious kingsnakes are. Velvet has to inspect any commotion or new tank decor.

A dirty head is a sign of a day well spent digging about the enclosure

Flashback to the day we made this sling habitat for Sparkles the c. Versicolor. It’s been almost two years, who wants to see an update on her adult coloration and habitat?

Have you seen our products in your favorite local pet store yet? If not, feel free to share our contact! We love working with small business owners, and have low minimums for wholesale ordering to make it possible for small storefronts and reptile show vendors to order.

Okay, you can enter, but what’s the password?

No more boring tanks furnished with plastic ❌ natural bedding, or our alternative crash pads, are a healthier and more natural option than felt reptile carpet. Your reptile will benefit from having the enrichment of multiple textures, hides, and climbing places that double as humid hides when misted.

Big magnolia leaves make for a whole new world- literally. Leaf litter provides a crucial element to the ecosystem in bioactive enclosures, but for now this young crested gecko is kept on paper towels to better monitor droppings and food waste. In the meantime, the leaves serve as a place to explore on and hide under.

Aegon is so tiny he fits with tons of room to spare under a single leaf, and can often be found napping there during the day. 😴

Bowl of noodle(s) anyone?

Carpet python on a reptile carpet alternative! Crash Pads offer the same ease of application and cleaning with the added bonus of looking natural!

Now available on Chewy, or on our website 🐍

Swipe to see the jewel orchid blooming and thriving in spite of this young man’s propensity for flinging himself all over it 🌸

Moss and leaf litter are the perfect ingredients to take your tank up a level both functionally and aesthetically. These components are two things often found where you find reptiles and amphibians, providing hiding places and food for inhabitants and microfauna.

Leveling up your reptile habitat is easy with a handful of leaf litter and some moss accenting the forest floor

Caught little Egg napping in his favorite spot. MossVine is flexible and can be bent to make many “hammock” spots in the habitat, providing resting places and canopy access.

The only suitable throne for the majesty that is a pixie bullfrog is of course, a big lush chunk of royal pillow moss 👑

The fact that something this electric blue exists in nature on its own accord is absolutely astounding! Blue is not a common color for flora or fauna and in this instance, serves as a warning to predators that they’re a risky menu option.

These “el cope” locale d. auratus are harmless in captivity however, without their naturally occurring diet they are unable to produce the toxins that make them formidable in the wild.

✨New addition!✨

We have a couple new baby crested geckos here that we are really excited to share with you! This little Tri color harlequin really needs a name, we are stumped!

07/23/2024

Some really exquisite moss features spotted at the reptile expo a couple weeks ago, nothing beats a liberal moss application in a vivarium build!

Magnolia leaf for scale 🤏🏻 Check out these incredibly tiny toads! Oak toads are diminutive even full grown, generally staying around 1.5-1.75” inches. They have all the fun inquisitive characteristics of larger toad species and are quite daytime active in an appropriate enclosure, making them an excellent display species.

Snakes flick their tongues to pick chemical information from their environment. This environmental information is sent to two bulb-like organs called the Jacobson's, or vomeronasal, organs. They are lined with similar sensory cells that send impulses to the same part of the brain as the nose. Shelby is inspecting this new piece of manzanita wood before it gets added to her enclosure. We think she likes it 😉

It’s that easy! Tropicoco soil, moss hide, magnolia leaves, spider wood and grapevine and it all comes together just like that 💫

What could be better than a natural alternative to plastic? How about wooden bowls made exclusively from fallen trees? No trees were harmed in the making of this beautiful wood bowl. And it is Shelby approved for sipping 👍🏻🪱

How sweet is our little moss cottage in this button quail setup? @bluestemspaniels did a great job making it look whimsical, and what a perfect creature for this setup!

I’m going to let you in on a little secret: That is not live moss in this terrarium. Even though it looks live and blends in perfectly in this natural terrarium, our moss is actually dehydrated and fully pest free. This means you can get the look of moss without fear of pests and without struggling to keep it alive. A win for you and a win for any vivarium inhabitants! Shoutout to @miamidadeaquascaping for the incredible scape.

Small but mighty, this little piece of spider wood makes a great foreground focal point in a unique top view aquarium featuring freshwater shrimp. The nerite snails obviously approve, too!

This phenomenal display of animal behavior shows a corn snake getting started on the shedding process. This is a perfectly example of why we highly recommend providing various rough textured woods and substrates to create natural opportunities for behaviors like this! It is vital to both the physical and mental well-being of our captive animals.

A little moss and river stone goes a long way! Those final touches really pull it together and make it look like a natural scape 🪨 🌱

Dwarf whites love our bioactive soil, just ask this colony of 1000+ dwarf whites who have been calling it home 🌱

Herping season is winding down in much of the US, but it’s still good to slow down and look for all the creatures we share our planet with. What were your favorite finds this year?

Just had to share this mind-blowing purple chameleon produced at @treecandychameleons! What an incredible animal, have you ever seen anything like that?
