Pinup Pods LLC

It is official, PinupPods LLC is changing its name and shifting some things around to move back towards hobby only. We plan to still keep our breeding projects a live as "Pinup Pods & Pals" 😊 We just miss the hobby side of things and a big buisness is not want I intended to open for. We will still provide to Localzs and local shows with other vendors for the next year as we move out the rest of our inventory and make our final decisions. 💋

Announcement:
Due to unfortunate events. Pinup Pals is down to keeping a few favorites and CUC specific isopod species and will be changing its name soon.

We are still currently not shipping at this time due to travels this summer.

Current known iso to keep and a handful not listed (not available at this time):

Porcelliondes Purnosis': white, blue, orange, orange cream, oreo Crumble, candy crush.
Cubaris Sp: Borneo, little seas, Papaya
Armadillidium Maculatums
Armadillidium Vulgares: JMP, Wild, Punta Cana..
Dwarf whites
Porcellio Hoffmannseggi
Porcellio Bolivari
Venezillo Parvus
Porcellio leavis dairy cow
Isopoda Sp Tarragona
Soils

We will have some straggling species to grow up before departing and disposing, potentially just for a genetic add of a few rather than a full culture start as we sent bulk off to new. Will post when/if available.

We will have a few used gasket totes with holes for vents cut already for local sales for anyone interested. We have downsized drastically and no longer need the clutter.

We also still have a few OBT slings available.
No Mountain Horned Dragons will be available the next two year unfortunately.

Remember, we only ship within the US and states like FL, CA and HI have limitations or we do not ship at all too... thank you for understanding as we have reorganized our mission of, "Natural Beauty at its Finest."

Precious hearts have precious moments. She found an injured dragon fly after a gust of wind - knew it didn't have the resources around to try and survive. What did she ask to do? Bring it to a safe haven of our yard.

The unfortunate truth of owning and running a business.

Running a business is really hard.

What they don’t tell you is that it can cause severe stress and anxiety, and drains you mentally to the point of depression in even the most laid-back people.

People will talk about you, compare you to others, use you, they will view you as a service and not a person anymore.

Friends and family will expect discounts and people will value you and your hard work less than a big chain store or company.

You have to worry about if you forget to email/message someone back, are they going to think it was on purpose? Did you disappoint them? Will they hold that against you? When in reality you just can’t get to everyone’s messages and emails.

Starting up or Taking over and running a successful business puts incredible strain on personal lives and relationships, many of which fail because there is just often no work-life balance.

You need to be the director, the worker, the admin, the marketing team, the accountant, the cleaner..... All whilst being a parent, a husband or a wife, grandparent, family support, friend...

There’s a reason you don’t see many people succeed in small businesses after 5-10 years. If they are successful they are overwhelmed.

It takes a toll. It’s freaking exhausting. Especially the past couple of years when so much has been out of our control.

Here’s a small reminder that we are just normal people with hectic lives.

Please support small and local businesses's cos we do it because we actually love it despite the stress etc , it can also be very rewarding at times ❤️

Hey all, as some know normally 10% of our sales go to the WeDefy Foundation. We have taken a turn and have not pushed any inventory sales during our down sizing. With that being said, we are still pushing to raise funds for the Memorial Day Carry the Load Event. Please join our regional team with donations! Every bit counts.

Check out, Wedefyfoundation.org or contact us if you would like to know more. Please donate under the Rocky Mountain Team for WDF.

Thank you from the PinUp Pod Crew 💋

Utah's offical State Crustacean 🤪

Hey everyone, let’s put our hands together for the brine shrimp! 👏🦐 It has officially joined the ranks of Utah’s state symbols as the state crustacean.

Brine shrimp are small crustaceans that inhabit salty waters around the world, both inland and on the coast. Ranging from ⅓ of an inch to a ½ inch, these shrimp are much smaller than the ones you eat. In Utah, they are only found in the Great Salt Lake. These tiny animals play a huge role in the lake’s ecosystem, so we are thrilled that they’re receiving the honor of being named state crustacean. 🎉

Learn more about this cool aquatic critter and the role it plays in its environment: http://bit.ly/3lpJux7
