APPEAL FOR INFORMATION – THEFT AT PARKSIDE BUSINESS ESTATE

On Sunday 25th October, just before 8am, our brand-new food waste bin was stolen from outside our premises.

Approximately £1,000 worth of tools have been stolen, along with our bin.

We have attached photographs of the individual believed to be responsible and are asking the local community for help. If you recognise this person or have any information that could help establish what happened, please contact us directly.

The Metropolitan Police have been informed.

We would greatly appreciate it if local businesses and residents could share this post to help spread the word. Any information, no matter how small it may seem, could be helpful.

Thank you to everyone who takes the time to share or get in touch.

MEET THE YELLOW SPINE MILLIPEDE!

Covered in tiny yellow spines and sporting an impressive number of legs, the Antheromorpha uncinata is a fascinating millipede that’s sure to stand out in any invertebrate collection!

These eye-catching millipedes are known for their distinctive body shape and spiny appearance. Those little projections give them a rather armoured look, making them quite different from the smooth-bodied millipedes many people are familiar with.

Like other millipedes, they play an important role in the ecosystem by feeding on decaying plant matter and helping recycle nutrients back into the soil.

They’re a brilliant reminder that the invertebrate world is full of unusual shapes, textures and colours!

With all those spikes, they’re certainly not your average garden woodlouse — these little guys have come dressed for battle!

Come and discover these fascinating invertebrates at Bermondsey Exotics!

MEET THE THAI VINEGAROON!

Looking like something straight out of a prehistoric nightmare, the Thai Vinegaroon is an incredible arachnid with a seriously intimidating appearance!

These fascinating invertebrates have powerful pincers, a flattened body and a long, whip-like tail. Despite their resemblance to scorpions, vinegaroons belong to a completely different group of arachnids.

But here’s the really interesting part: when threatened, they can spray a defensive fluid containing acetic acid — the same substance responsible for vinegar’s distinctive smell!

They’re nocturnal hunters that spend much of their time hiding in dark, humid environments before emerging to hunt insects and other small invertebrates.

They might look like the devil’s own pet, but their biggest weapon is basically a bottle of vinegar!

ISOPOD SHOWCASE: PART 2 OF 2!

We’re back with the second part of our isopod showcase at Bermondsey Exotics!

If you thought Part 1 had some impressive varieties, there’s still plenty to appreciate about the wonderful world of isopods. From unusual markings to impressive sizes, these tiny crustaceans are full of surprises.

HERE ARE SOME MORE REASONS TO LOVE ISOPODS!

Isopods are terrestrial crustaceans, making them relatives of crabs and prawns rather than insects. Many species thrive on decaying organic matter, helping recycle nutrients in their environment.

They’re also popular with bioactive keepers, with suitable species helping break down leaf litter and other organic material in appropriately set-up enclosures.

And let’s be honest — when your woodlice come in more colours than a bag of sweets, choosing a favourite becomes a serious challenge!

WHICH ISOPOD IS YOUR FAVOURITE?

Are you team Magic Potion, Red Panda, Orange Tortosa, or something a little more unusual? Let us know in the comments!

Come and explore our invertebrate selection at Bermondsey Exotics.

MEET THE RED DEVIL VINEGAROON!

Looking like something that’s crawled straight out of the underworld, the Red Devil Vinegaroon is one seriously impressive invertebrate!

These unusual arachnids are known for their powerful pincers, armoured bodies and long, whip-like tails. Despite their fearsome appearance, they aren’t true scorpions and don’t possess a venomous sting.

When threatened, vinegaroons can spray a defensive fluid containing acetic acid — the same acid found in vinegar. It’s this distinctive defence that gives them their unusual name!

They’re nocturnal hunters that use their specialised front legs to feel their way around in the darkness, searching for insects and other small prey.

The devil’s in the details… and in this case, it’s got eight legs and smells like vinegar!

MEET THE TIGER TAILLESS WHIP SCORPION!

Eight legs, two impressive spiked grabbers, and a pair of long, whip-like sensory legs — these incredible arachnids look like something straight out of a horror film!

Despite their intimidating appearance, tailless whip scorpions are not true scorpions at all. They belong to a group of arachnids known as Amblypygi and use their long front legs to feel their way around their environment, especially in the dark.

They’re nocturnal hunters that use their powerful pedipalps to catch prey. They have no venomous sting and rely on their specialised limbs rather than brute force to hunt.

With those long legs and spiky arms, they look like they could give you a proper telling-off… but luckily, they’re much more interested in catching their next meal!
