We have some great new product that just arrived!
Tease your sense of smell, with locally produced, and ethically sourced, "Dart Frog Collection" candles, from Clownfish Candle Company!!!
(User note- these soy based candles are for use outside of/ away from your pets enclosure).

We are currently uploading some amazing dart frogs to the website. We will have a complete availability up by the end of today. Please take a look, as they are extremely uncommon in the US, and unfortunately, in the wild. Deforestation, smuggling, pollution, and in general, human threats have caused massive declines of these beautiful frogs. These are the only legally exported (with CITES permits), captive bred Colombian dart frogs available, and we hope you will support the sustainable breeding facility by purchasing these frogs, or by donating directly to them. Through their efforts, smuggling has been reduced, and repopulating wild stock is the goal for a successful future.
For more information, purchasing, or donating, please take a look at their website: https://tesorosdecolombia.com/
Pre-orders for May shipout can be placed on our website, or on the Treasures of Colombia website.

Day 250....or what it feels like!
Still waiting on eggs, two with confirmed movement, we are hoping those hatch by the end of July.
The surprise eggs are a wait and see, and one clutch just hit 30 days.
Who would have known waiting on babies to hatch would feel endless!

20/06/2022

Our crested geckos at home have laid a few eggs over the past 3 months, and we are excited for the new arrivals!
We had no idea one clutch had been laid until we did a major tank break down, to switch the parents to Insitu Ecosystem enclosures.
We are impatiently waiting to see these babies!

After countless attempts to find the perfect manufacturers setup, we have begun modifications on some of the classic terrariums/ vivariums available!
Glass drilling, custom plastic vents (that are fruit fly/ insect escape proof), custom misting systems/ locations, and custom drains are now available locally.
If your terrarium or vivarium has a screen top, and you are trying to keep tropical, high humidity plants and animals, you know the difficulty of maintaining 80-100% humidity levels. Glass top replacements, drilled and modified to your specs, are a great solution to this problem!
We also offer drilling, bulkheads, and screens for dart frog system drains (just because you have a drainage layer of clay balls/ foam, doesn't mean your system is properly drained)!
Please feel free to message for time frames, and quotes!
