Emeth Zoo

Emeth Zoo Emeth Zoo is a small “hobby collector” of a variety of reptiles and invertebrates.

The name comes from the first two letters of Emmy’s name and the last three letters of Seth’s name, and was started as a "game" they played with their toys. Over the years they have hatched caterpillars and watch them turn into butterflies, they have hatched mantis oothecas (egg case) and watched them grow from tiny nymphs into large adult mantis which eventually laid their own ootheca. They have

also enjoyed collecting tadpoles and watching them grow into frogs before releasing them back into the pond we caught them in. In 2016 we purchased our first Crested Geckos, and the summer of 2017 saw our first geckos hatch. A few months later we purchased a pair of Gargoyle Geckos, and have produced some beautiful and healthy baby gargoyles. We have not been breeding reptiles the past few years - but still occasionally have extra invertebrates that are looking for a new home.

☀️Sun’s out, skinks out!🌱

Blue and Reece, our northern blue tongue skinks, are soaking up the sunshine and loving some fresh air time on the grass. 🦎💙

These two are all about slow strolls, tongue flicks, and living their best reptile lives.

We're excited to offer Northern Walking Stick Insect Eggs (Diapheromera femorata) – Canada’s only legal species of walking stick! 🇨🇦 Native to southern Ontario and Manitoba, these fascinating insects are a joy to raise and watch grow.

These gentle creatures are masters of camouflage and incredibly low-maintenance.

When they hatch, they love raspberry leaves, and also nibble on rose, oak, and hawthorn.

Looking for some that have already hatched? We’ve got you covered — hatched stick insects are also available!

Crunch! If you love oddly satisfying sounds, turn this one up

Meet Reece—our northern blue tongue skink—absolutely demolishing a raw quail egg!

Quail eggs aren’t just a treat—they’re a great source of protein and calcium when fed as part of a balanced diet. And judging by that crunch, Reece definitely approves.

🌿 Big move for our stick insect colony!
We just upgraded our Diapheromera femorata (northern walking stick) colony to a spacious new enclosure — complete with fresh raspberry leaves for them to feast on 🍃

Our population has grown to around 20 insects, and we’re spotting new hatchlings every few days. It’s amazing to watch this colony thrive!

Native to southern Canada, this is the only species of walking stick insect legal to keep in the country 🇨🇦
