We’ve got some new duckies! 🦆♥️

Some gorgeous Rubber Ducky Isopods have joined our existing colony, bringing in some lovely fresh genetics! 🥹

Honestly, those tiny little faces never get old. 😭🖤

A massive thank you to Pocketexotics Bug Corner for these beauties!

Who else absolutely loves rubber duckies? 🦆

🕷️💕 ISO — ONE OR TWO HANDSOME GENTLEMEN WANTED! 💕🕷️

Apparently there’s a shortage of eligible bachelors in the Occult Exotics animal room! 😂

This time I’ve got several lovely Hogna radiata ladies looking for a fella (or two 👀) to sweep them off their eight feet! 🥰

🔎 Currently ISO:
1–2 male Hogna radiata — ideally sub-adult or freshly matured adults.

Must be confident, handsome and not afraid of a strong, independent woman… or several. 🤣🕷️

If you have a suitable boy available, or know someone who might, please drop me a DM! 🖤

Shares would be hugely appreciated to help these lovely ladies find their Mr Right! 🙏🏼💕

🕷️🖤 ISO — HANDSOME GENTLEMAN WANTED! 🖤🕷️

My beautiful girl Opal is on the lookout for a boyfriend! 👀💕

I’m currently searching for a mature male Dolichothele diamantinensis for a potential breeding project.

Surely someone out there has a handsome little fella ready to sweep her off her eight feet? 😂🕷️

📩 Please drop me a DM if you have one available, or know someone who might!

Shares would be hugely appreciated to help Opal find her Mr Right! 🥰🖤

Espresso & Sprout have BABIES! 🥹🖤

After Espresso’s first attempt went a little wrong (she messed up her nest and the babies ended up everywhere 😅), we’ve now got a lovely successful sac of i2 Phidippus regius Bahamas babies!

And there’s quite a few! 😂🕷️

My eyes can’t focus long enough to count them all… anyone fancy trying? 👀

What an amazing day at the Coventry Invert Show! 🖤🕷️

A massive THANK YOU to everyone who came to visit Occult Exotics — whether you stopped to chat, browse, say hello or purchased something from us. 🥹

Seeing familiar names become actual faces was especially lovely!

Also a big thank you to Rebecca North! Couldn’t have managed the table without you!

I’m absolutely shattered 😂 but incredibly grateful for all the support. You guys made the day! 🖤

Had a teeny tiny visitor in the office today! 🥹🕷️

A gorgeous little zebra jumping spider popped in to say hello and obviously I couldn’t resist letting them have a wander on my hand. 🖤

Apparently even when I’m at work, I still end up with spiders 😂

The jumping spider babies have some ridiculously cute new pots 🥹🐻🖤

The lids have tiny bear ears… and this little Phidippus regius has apparently decided the ear makes the perfect private dining room 😂🪰🕷️

I can’t cope with how cute this is!

🕷️🖤 LESS THAN ONE WEEK TO GO! 🖤🕷️

The countdown is well and truly ON… 👀

This time next week the Central Invertebrate Show Invert Shows UK will be over and I’ll probably be exhausted, surrounded by unpacking and wondering why I put myself through it. 😂

But right now… SHOW PREP! 😵‍💫🕷️

I’ve been busy behind the scenes getting everyone sorted, potted up and ready, organising stock and attempting to work my way through the ever-growing list of things I still need to do. 😂

And just LOOK at that trader list! 👀 There are going to be so many amazing sellers there — I’m not sure whether being behind a table is going to protect my bank account or make things worse. 🤣💸

📍 Central Invertebrate Show – Coventry
📅 Sunday 4th October

🏢 Sports Connexion
Leamington Road
Ryton-on-Dunsmore
Coventry
CV8 3FL

⏰ 11am – 4pm

🎟️ Adults £7
🎟️ Under 16s £4

Tickets can be purchased online or on the door.

I’ll tag the show page too so you can head over there for all the information and updates. 🖤

And of course, Occult Exotics will be there! 🕷️🙌🏼

Just look for the unnecessarily enormous banner… you genuinely won’t be able to miss me. 😂😂

Come over, have a nose at what I’ve brought and most importantly COME AND SAY HELLO! 🥰 I’d absolutely love to put some faces to the names I see interacting with the page.

👀 Who’s coming?! And what are you hoping to find at the show?

28/09/2026

The Gandanameno girls are officially getting ready for Coventry! 👀🖤

Everyone is now potted up ready for the show — complete with moss and cute little mushroom decorations, because apparently even temporary show accommodation needs to look pretty 😂🍄🕷️

Who’s coming to see us at Coventry?
