​News - January 17th, 2025:​​​
Happy New Year to all of our valued customers! We hope the new year brings everyone loads of joy and success! To start things off, we would like to thank everyone who placed an order during our week long special. We had many orders come in and the sale was a huge success thanks to all of you amazing folks! As many of you know, we only offer one site wide sale a year so it was great to see so many people taking advantage of the sale.
We have officially begun our 2025 shipping season and we are shipping packages out every Monday as per usual. To get a shipping quote, please contact us with your postal code and a list of animals you would like to order and we will get back to you with a quote as soon as possible.
We are currently in the works of planning a large shipment from Cameroon which will bring many new species to our price lists including some new tarantulas, spiders, scorpions, amblypygids, centipedes, reptiles, and more! We are hoping to get the Cameroon shipment within the next two months or so but we do not have a date set in stone yet for the shipment. Other shipments we are currently waiting on include some arachnids from Nicaragua and monitor lizards from the Solomon Islands.
The Tarantulas price list has been updated to reflect several specimens that have sold over the past few weeks, updated sizing and a few new arrivals. The Cameroon shipment will bring many Togo Starburst Baboon Tarantulas (Heteroscodra maculata) and Feather Legged Baboon Tarantulas (Stromatopelma calceatum) to the price list. We are also planning a large shipment of captive bred tarantulas from Europe for spring and a large shipment of USA native species from the states over the summer. Stay tuned for some truly amazing animals that will be coming in our imports this year!The Spiders price list is looking very bare at the moment but the Cameroon shipment will bring us many new species of spiders including several species of jumping spiders, huntsman spiders and many other rare and unique spider species from Africa!
The Scorpions price list is well stocked with several species including some not commonly offered rarity's! The Cameroon shipment will bring a few new species of Scorpion to the price list including Alligator Back Scorpions (Hottentota hottentota), Eastern Nomad Scorpions (Hottentotta trilineatus), and Dictator Scorpions (Pandinus dictator). The Other Invertebrates price list is also well stocked with some very cool species and the Cameroon shipment will bring us several new species of Centipedes and West African Giant Whip-Scorpions (Damon medius)!
​
The Reptiles price list is very well stocked with some incredible animals. Many of the new arrivals are already running very low such as the Green Iguanas (Iguana iguana) which are available in four different colors. We have some beautiful monitor lizards in stock including Dumeril's Monitors (Varanus dumerilii), Quince Monitors (Varanus melinus), and Kimberleys Rock Monitors (Varanus glauerti). We are expecting a few exiting species of Reptile from Cameroon but we aren't going to spoil any of those just yet! ;)
