FOR SALE

Since many of the supplies I use for my pets are hard to get, I often get extra. Some will be sold here.

Most of the animals I have are because they are common and quickly discarded. So I don't breed them. Why creature more of something that is already being tossed away? But some of them are uncommon, endangered, feeder insects, or just breed without any assistance. When that happens, I'll list them here.

Live organisms are pick-up only at this time, though contact me if you really, really want something and I may consider it depending on distance, weather, etc. Supplies can ship with no problem.

MADAGASCAR HISSERS

Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches or Hissers are one of the best roaches to use as feeders, use in bioactive enclosures, or to keep as pets. They are easy to raise, easy to keep, and very interesting.

Because they get really big, they are especially fascinating for children, so they make good classroom pets. Their size also makes them good for those looking for larger feeders for larger reptiles or just those who want to really chomp on their food.

They don't fly, but can climb glass, so use a vaseline barrier. If using as a feeder for animals that are slower or have substrate, either smoosh their heads right before feeding or pop them in the freezer overnight.

ISOPODS

Whether you call them roly-polies, sowbugs, woodlice, potato bugs, or one of the numerous other names for isopods, these little crustaceans are a great addition to reptile tanks or ust as a pet on their own.

Porcellio laevis 'Dairy Cows' (10)

The most popular & in my opinion best isopod for most situations. They are black & white like dairy cows, and are on the larger side. Prolific breeder, active, and attention-getting.

$20

Porcellio scaber 'Calico' (10)

(out of stock) In my line the females are reddish-brown like a tortoiseshell cat while the males look like wild type. Their subtle coloring lets them blend in with the substrate, keeping them more hidden.

$20

Porcellio dilatatus 'Giant Canyon' (10)

A large, wide isopod that tends to be gray with the slightest hint of an orange pattern. Picture desert rocks with a little lichen. They seem to do well with it a little damper. Slow to mature.

$20

P. pruinosus 'Powder Orange' (10)

Just got these and already have limited availability for sale. These quick breeders are able to handle drier enclosures than most other isopods.

$20

Porcellio laevis 'Orange' (10)

Similar to the Dairy Cows, but solid orange and less prolific. They blend in better in some enclosures which makes them look great and can keep them from being eaten as quickly.

$20

Porcellio scaber 'Lottery Mix' (10)

In isopod terms a lottery mix is a mixed colony of colors & morphs, so you never know what you're going to get. Mine has whites, oranges, wild types, and some mixtures. Great variety for color and cuteness.

$20

Armadillidium maculatum 'Zebra' (10)

Not currently available, if you need some they are on Amazon.com. Larger isopods with a distinct hump shape and the ability to roll into a ball, the Zebra type have black and white stripes.

$20

SPRINGTAILS

Every slightly damp tank with substrate should have springtails. They're great for bioactive clean-up crews, but even if you aren't ready to go full bioactive it only takes moments to shake a few springtails into your tank. You might not see them, but they'll be in there eating mold and keeping fungus gnats away, keeping your reptiles healthier. They also make good feeders for reptiles & arachnids that need tiny food.

Springtails are sold in 8oz. deli cup colonies with charcoal sitting on sphagnum moss, and partially filled with water. They live on the little charcoal islands. They can live in the cup indefinitely, just keep them half-filled with dechlorinated water and feed them nutritional yeast. Don't let them dry out.

To add to a tank, you can take out a piece of charcoal and tap it inside the tank to shake them off. Or you can blow across the container into the tank and blow them inside, pour the water from the cup into the tank, or just add the entire colony charcoal and all.

White Temperate Springtails

Probably folsomia candida. This is the original type of springtail I started out with and tends to be the most common. They're large for springtails and accept a wide range of conditions. They are good general springtails to add to humid enclosures.

$5

Larger Colony of White Temperate Springtails

A larger portion of the white temperate springtails for bigger enclosures or using them as feeders. Comes in a 16oz. cup.

$7

White Temperate Springtail Breeding Bin

Want to keep a bigger supply of springtails without the hassle of running out all the time? This is what I use to breed my springtails. It is a plastic, latching shoebox filled with sphagnum moss, charcoal, water, and springtails.

$15

Sinella curviseta Springtails

Sinella curviseta springtails accept a wider range of environments than the white temperate springtails but look almost exactly alike. As my Sinella curviseta colony is new supplies are limited. It will take time for them to breed.

$5

Springtail Chow

A small seasoning shaker of food for the springtails. Just shake a little in with the springtails once a week or so to keep them fed.

$3

MEALWORMS

Currently out of stock but you can get them on Amazon.com

My mealworms are raised on wheat bran and baby carrots, so they're very healthy and safe for even humans to eat. They're one of my favorite feeders.

Mealworms (10)

Mealworms are one of the classic feeders for a reason--they are the perfect feeder for a wide range of reptiles. And of course rodents and birds like them too. These are medium-sized mealworms. Keep in the fridge until ready to use.

$3

Mealworms (25)

More mealworms because you can never have enough. Mealworms are kept on wheat bedding, which they live on and eat. Keeping the at room temperature may cause them to metamorphose.

$5

Mealworms (100)

Plenty of mealworms for all your needs. Remember you can keep leftovers in the fridge (not freezer), so they'll last for quite a while.

$10

Mealworms (1500)

Enough mealworms to keep your pets fed for ages. A lot of different types of animals like mealworms and they will gobble them up. Frozen mealworms make a great chicken treat.

$20

Mealworm Farm

Raising mealworms is easy and gives you a consistent and healthy source of food for your animals. Choosing to raise my own mealworms is one of the best things I've ever done.

Kit is composed of a plastic desktop drawer unit, filled with wheat bran for the mealworms to live on. Drawer One will have Darkling beetles, Drawer Two will have mealworm eggs, and Drawer Three will have adult mealworms. Just regularly add a baby carrot or two to each drawer and top off the wheat bran when needed to keep it going.

$20

Wheat Bran (1gal bag)

Mealworms are easy to keep because they eat and live on the same material. Although I've tried other bedding materials, I find wheat bran to be to best for keeping mealworms.

$5

OTHER CREATURES

Adult Black Widow Spider, Female

Black Widows make surprisingly good pets. They take very little care and can survive rough environments. If she produces one, remove egg sacs immediately. Poisonous, so care should always be taken while feeding or cleaning their enclosures.

$10

Black Widow Enclosure

Want a Black Widow but don't want to deal with setting up an enclosure or moving her into it? I already did it for you. Enclosure comes with plastic cup, substrate, sticks, and the Black Widow.

$20

Bumblebee Millipedes (ea)

Bumblebees are a smaller millipede, only a few inches long. They are gorgeous though with their yellow and black striped-pattern. They're a great beginner millipede and can live with Scarlet Millipedes, Florida Fast isopods, and springtails in a communal set-up.

$10

Scarlet Millipedes (ea)

Scarlets or Rusty-Red Millipedes are another smaller millipede, just a few inches long. They are an interesting shade of red and are another good beginner millipede. They can live communally with Bumblebee Millipedes.

$10

MOURNING GECKOS

None currently available. Should be available in Autumn 2021.

Hawaiian Strain of Mourning Geckos (ea)

The ubiquitous mourning geckos from Hawaii. Small and fiesty, shy but friendly, mourning geckos are one of the many types of micro-geckos. Hawaiian mourning geckos are supposed to be more vibrant in color, but of course color with vary depending on if they're flared up. These were captive bred by me, from stock from Aquarimax.

$45

Yellow-Bellied Mourning Geckos (ea)

Mourning geckos with yellow-tinted bellies that look really pretty when hanging out on the glass. Color varies depending upon how flared up the mourning gecko is at that point in time. Captive bred by me, from stock from Josh's Frogs. Opinion on origin varies, though some people believe this type came from Fii.

$35

Mourning Gecko Grow-Up Jar

Mourning geckos are never what one would call large, but as hatchlings they are incredibly tiny. This can be problematic as they can escape tanks through the hose openings or other small holes. Big tanks can also make it hard to find them or for them to find food.

So, I start all my mourning geckos out in large plastic jars. These miniature vivariums have a drainage layer, coconut coir, sphagnum moss, leaf litter, sticks, a fake plant, and springtails. Just add gecko, mist daily, and add food regularly.

$20

ASSORTED SUPPLIES

Water Crystals (8oz cup)

Keep your critters hydrated without risk of drownings. These white crystals absorb a ton of water. Just mix a little of the crystals in water, wait a half-hour and scoop some into your water bowl. No splashing, no drownings. 8oz. cup.

$13

Wet Water Crystals (24oz cup)

Don't want to bother mixing up your own water crystals? I hydrated some for you, so you can just spoon them directly into your water bowl. No measuring or waiting.

$7

Roach Chow (16oz cup)

A simple dry food to leave in your roach bins so they have constant access to food. A complete diet for dubia roaches or hissers or similar species, it is the only thing I feed my roach colonies. They thrive on a steady diet of this stuff.

$5

Roach Chow (24oz cup)

The same food as in the 16oz cup, but a bigger amount for those with slightly larger colonies.

$7

A Whole Lotta Roach Chow (2 1/2 gal bucket)

Maybe you're like me and have tons of hungry roaches, or maybe you just want to stock up because roach chow lasts for a while and you don't want to run out. I was so happy I was stocked up on feeder insect food when quarantine hit! This bucket will feed your roaches well and comes in handy for ease of feeding.

$30

Springtail Chow

A small seasoning shaker of food for the springtails. Just shake a little in with the springtails once a week or so to keep them fed.

$3

Isopod Pellet Food (2oz cup)

A small container of isopod pelleted food. Isopods mostly eat leaf litter, but it's always a good idea to give them extra nutrition. Just add a few of these pellets each week.

$4

Fish Flakes for Isopods (2oz cup)

Fish flakes make great food for isopods. Isopods are originally sea creatures (and some remain there), so they do really well on a diet that includes lots of fishy protein.

$1

Crushed Eggshells (2oz cup)

Sure, you could clean and crush and sanitize your own eggshells, but why would you when someone else will do it for you? You should always have calcium available for isopods as molting uses a lot. Use powdered calcium, cuttlebone, or eggshells which are a great source of calcium for isopods.

$1

Isopod Nibbles

Don't buy a bunch of jars of food for your isopods that will go stale before you use them all. I've packaged together some of my isopods' favorite foods into one kit. Comes with Isopod Pellets, Fish Flakes, Dried Shrimp, Springtail Chow, Crushed Eggshells, chunks of cuttlebone, oyster shells, and a Dead Hisser.

$10

Bug Barrier Goo (2oz cup)

Smear this goo around the top of any tanks containing roaches or other wall crawlers to prevent them escaping. Use in concert with a screen lid of course, but the more barriers to keep them contained, the better. Refresh every couple months.

$3

Diatomaceous Earth (1qt bag)

Diatomaceous Earth seems a bit like chalk, but it's made from the skeletons of diatoms instead. These microscopic shells will puncture and dessicate bugs, working as a great, natural pesticide while being safe for larger animals. Works great for fleas, carpets, and chicken mites. Do not inhale the dust.

$5

Giant Jar

The perfect size jar for keeping mourning geckos, a praying mantis, or spiders. Lid can be drilled with holes or not, your choice. Large plastic jars are purchased whenever I spot them, so there will be some variation in brand.

$5

Mixed Hardwood Leaves (1qt bag)

Just need a little bit of leaf litter? These small bags are just the perfect amount of dry, hardwood leaves to scatter around enclosures or make small terrariums.

$5

Mixed Hardwood Leaves (1 gal bag)

Clean and dry leaves from my yard. These are the leaves I use for isopods, millipedes, or anytime I want to add leaf litter to a tank. They're a mixture as my yard is surrounded by several types of trees. They have been heat sanitized.

$10

Mixed Leaves, Crumbled (1 gal bag)

A bag filled with crushed hardwood leaves, perfectly ready to mix into substrates.

$15

Oak BBQ Pellets, Melted (8oz cup)

One of the hardest things to do when raising isopods is to get them safe wood to eat as they prefer hardwood that is partially broken down. During BBQ season though no-chemical oak wood pellets are for sale, which when mixed with water become sawdust mush, the perfect addition to detrivore tanks.

$5

Simple, Plain Sticks (1 gallon bag)

Just small, basic sticks from a mixture of hardwood trees. Good to add a natural look to enclosures. They have been heat sanitized.

$5

Drainage Layer / Hydroballs / Leca (1qt bag)

This lightweight material is made from clay-coated pumice, which makes it the perfect material to use in the bottom of bioactive tanks or to grow plants hydroponically.

$10

Crushed Charcoal (sandwich bag)

Charcoal is a classic element to purify the air and freshen water, and is used often in terrariums. I like to scatter a little on the drainage layer to keep the tank smelling fresher.

$5

Charcoal Chunks (1qt bag)

This is what I raise my springtails on. Chemical-free charcoal is commonly only available during bbq season and even then it can be difficult to find, especially if you don't want to buy 20 pounds of it. This little bag is just enough to use without having a much of dirty mess sitting around.

$5

Sphagnum Moss (1qt bag)

Sphagnum moss isn't what you typically think of when you think of moss. This is a dry, fibrous material added in tank corners to hold humidity for isopods or to coat the bottom of tanks for dart frogs and mourning geckos. It can also be used thickly to divide the drainage layer from the substrate.

$5

Coconut Coir (1qt bag)

Basic substrate made from coconut fiber. Perfect for holding humidity in terrariums. It can be used straight or in mixes for isopods, hissers, ball pythons, crested geckos, mourning geckos, and other animals that need more humidity.

$5

Bio Booster Powder (1 shot)

Just a single shot of this powder added to the substrate of your terrarium build will add natural fungi & bacteria to kickstart your bioactivity.

$1

Terrarium Kit

Want to put together your own small bioactive enclosure? This kit comes with a bag of drainage balls, a bit of crushed charcoal, a bag of sphagnum moss, a bag of coconut coir, Bio Booster Shot, a bag of leaf litter, some sticks, and some springtails. Just add to your choice of container (like a giant jar) and you have the perfect start to a great little terrarium.

$25

TANKS CREATED FOR YOU

Maybe you like the pets and tanks but are unsure of where to start or how to create the right environment. Don't worry, I can do it for you. I'll put together an terrarium or vivarium just right for your needs. Below are basic ideas of great, easy tanks to keep. If you want something else or need alterations, contact me and I can probably do it for an extra charge.

Basic Bioactive Tank

Want to go bioactive but don't want to bother getting all the little bits and pieces to put it together? I'll put together the bones of a bioactive tank for you, just add plants and your pets (or whatever you want in it).

Starting with a 10 gallon tank and screen lid I'll add a drainage layer, soil screen barrier, charcoal sprinkle, mixed soil substrate, and top it with leaf litter and a scattering of sticks. Then I'll introduce some Dairy Cow Isopods and Temperate White Springtails.

$50

Forest Floor - Isopod Tank

This is the perfect tank to set next to your desk so you can watch the isopods scurry around and do isopod things like graze in the forest.

The enclosure is a 10 gallon tank with a screen lid. The lid is covered with a barrier to keep in more humidity. The isopods will live on a mixed soil & leaf litter substrate, topped with more leaf litter. They'll have a little wooden hide, sphagnum moss corner, and plenty of space to roam.  Comes with packet of isopod chow, 5 Dairy Cow Isopods and White Temperate Springtails.

$40

Hisser Haven - Pet Enclosure with Hissers

This is a 10 gallon tank with a screen top filled with coconut coir substrate, leaf litter, a wood hide, dishes, plus some food and water crystals. It even comes with two adult male hissers.

Hissers make great first pets for children and this kit would be awesome in a classroom. No more weekend care worries (though cold classrooms will need to add a heating pad).
