This makes me mad for my customers and people who don't know that I exist yet even though I've been here for 15 years ๐Ÿ˜‚ Please tell your reptile, and arachnid friends of me so that they don't keep getting ripped off ๐Ÿฅฐ

Both of these cultures were started on the exact same day and one is dead and one is alive.

I bought this other culture from somebody else that's local to me to do a comparison.

My culture is still alive and thriving because I put way more food in it than other people's because they're cheap and they don't have you as a customer in mine when they make these cultures.

For some reason they think that you will be able to use all that culture up really quick and I know a lot of you don't use your cultures that fast.

It cost me a lot more money to make these cultures for my customers because I used at least twice if not three times more food for the flies in that culture so that they stay alive for longer for the exact same price.

If they care this little for flies what are they doing with their other bugs too You got to think about that. Are they feeding them the right food are they gutloading them for you? Hummm ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”

I'm sharing my disheartening experience with you all.

As some of you may know, I have a disability.

Today, I was subjected to discrimination.

I parked in a disabled spot, which I'm entitled to do with my disabled parking plates. I renew them every five years, and I recently did so last month.
A parking security person approached me, suggesting that I didn't appear disabled enough to park in a disabled spot even though I had disabled parking plates.
I responded by asking how they could determine the extent of my disability based on my appearance.
I'm proud to say that I maintained my composure and highlighted the inappropriateness of their assumption.
I explained that my ability to walk doesn't necessarily mean I'm not disabled. I felt insulted by their remark.
It's essential to recognize that disabilities can be invisible, and it's unacceptable to make assumptions based on appearance.

Not all disabled people use a wheelchair or walker.

๐Ÿ’– Update on Our Utility Bill ๐Ÿ’–

We are overflowing with gratitude and just have to say THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU from the depths of our hearts! ๐ŸŒŸ Weโ€™re overjoyed to share that weโ€™ve reached our goal, and the utility bill is officially PAID! ๐Ÿ™Œโœจ Any remaining donations will go towards our vet bills, to clear our account before the end of the year.

Your incredible support means more to us than you can imagine. Itโ€™s not just about the billsโ€”itโ€™s about the lives weโ€™re able to nurture and the love we can share with these amazing creatures. ๐ŸฆŽThyou for being a part of our journey! ๐Ÿ’•

_____________

This is one of the hardest posts weโ€™ve ever written. Every day, we pour our hearts, souls, and paychecks into keeping this rescue alive. Weโ€™ve done everything we can to provide a safe, warm home for the reptiles in our care, but now weโ€™re facing a crisis that could leave them in the darkโ€”and the cold.

What many donโ€™t see is the sacrifice behind the scenes. For those who donโ€™t know, the two founders of the rescue work over 30 hours a week each, and every dollar they earn goes toward rent, utilities, food, and heat for these animals. Every budget decision is made to keep them safe. This is on top of both founders caring for all of the animals in the building full time as well. But sometimes, love and hard work just arenโ€™t enough.

In May, we moved to the new building, due to dangerous electrical issues, and the added expenses were tough but manageable. But in October, we were blindsided by a $6,000 utility bill. Due to us having a commercial utility account, the โ€œnew account depositโ€ didnโ€™t hit us until months into our usage. We made a payment plan, tightened our belts even more, and paid it off. But in focusing on that payment plan, we missed the monthly ones that came underneath.

Now, weโ€™re facing another $3,000 due by Thursdayโ€”and this time, thereโ€™s no payment plan option. If we donโ€™t pay it, the power will be shut off, leaving our animals in the freezing cold. Our reptiles rely on heat and light to survive, and as the temperatures drop, this isnโ€™t just a billโ€”itโ€™s a lifeline.

The founders managed to come up with $1,500 today, but weโ€™re still $1,500 short. Weโ€™re asking for helpโ€”for these animals, whoโ€™ve already been through so much. Looking at the faces of the reptiles weโ€™ve savedโ€”the ones who rely on us to keep them aliveโ€”itโ€™s hard not to feel hopeless. They didnโ€™t ask to be here, and they donโ€™t deserve to suffer because of an overdue bill.

Weโ€™re beggingโ€”truly beggingโ€”for your help. If just half of our 4.6k Facebook followers donated $1, weโ€™d meet our goal and keep the lights on for these precious lives. Please, please consider donating. Every dollar makes a difference.

How You Can Help:
๐ŸฆŽ Donate: PayPal link on our website or Venmo
๐ŸฆŽ Shop Rescue Merch: Shirts, keychains, drink koozies, stickers (we can shipโ€”DM us for details!)
๐ŸฆŽ Shop used equipment and tanks here at the rescue! There are so many things available!

Please, share this post, donate if you can, and help us give these animals the future they deserve. Theyโ€™ve been through enough already. These animals have no one else but usโ€”and no one else but you. Please donโ€™t let their lights go out. ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ

Doing what bioactive bugs are supposed to do.....clean up poo poo! ๐Ÿ’ฉ

Just to let you know that poo was fresh on the first little video and then the second video is 24 hours later where the poo was but was gone!

They do a great job so you don't have to clean up as often

Now if we can only figure out what bug will clean glass fronts ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

I have a limited supply of these available.

They are Trichoniscidae sp. 'Dwarf Purple' Isopods
12 for $10

Dwarf species of isopods are great for bioactives because they're so small that they aren't normally eaten ๐Ÿฅฐ

Here are some key differences between purchasing isopods from a small business like mine and a larger chain pet store:

* Personalized Care: You get each isopod personally hand-select , ensuring their health and well-being. This level of care and attention is often lacking in larger-scale operations.

*Insects in a larger scale operation or pet stores are kept for sometimes months without water or food and are not guaranteed to be live when you unseal the container.

* Community Support: By purchasing from a small, woman-owned business, you're directly supporting a real person and contributing to your local economy.

* Ethical Sourcing: Small businesses like me often prioritize ethical sourcing practices.

* Unique Offerings: You may have access to rarer or more specialized isopod species that larger chains might not offer.

* Customer Service: As a small business owner, I have more time to answer questions, provide better customized correct advice, and build a personal connection with my customers.

These factors make my business a more appealing option for many local customers, especially those who value ethical practices, personalized service, and supporting small businesses.

This is how I start out all my isopods especially my expensive ones. I choose a very small enclosure I got these I think in a two or three pack at the Dollar tree.
I put in organic soil a little bit of Moss and a little bit of leaf litter and one small piece of cork for them to hide under.

I always start out all my isopods like this that way it's easy for them to find each other easy for them to start breeding. I want to make sure that there's lots and lots of isopods in there before I upgrade them to a larger enclosure or a terrarium.

At that point you could probably just use half of the isopods in that enclosure to start a new enclosure or put in a bioactive terrarium.

I mist them one a week

For those really large reptiles or arachnids I also breed orange head roaches!!
Look how big they are!!

I give them my leftover Pangea from my crested geckos. They are great at cleaning those little bowls up, and it's really good for gut loading. Not one spec of pangea's is ever left in any of those bowls!!

They come approximately 20 for $25 in a mixed size.

If you're familiar with my business philosophy, you know I prioritize positivity and self-sufficiency. However, recent events have left me seeking your assistance. This week, ordering bugs would greatly alleviate my circumstances. A recent car break-in resulted in significant losses, including my wallet and purse, making your orders and tips especially crucial.

If the only thing you can do is share this post then even that is appreciated.
Thank you ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿฅฐ

Another happy customer!!

This big guy here is Rio. He's a Theraphosa stirmi. It's is a species of tarantula belonging to the family Theraphosidae. He's species originates from South America. This species regularly gets 9-10 inches!!

It's common name is the burgundy goliath bird eater.

He eats the orange head cockroaches that I have available because they are so much larger than a dubia roach.
