We had a blast this past weekend in West Virginia. Thank you to our friends at Wonders Oddities Expo for a great weekend! We were able to spend time with some of our old friends from the area and made some wonderful new relationships as well. And the best part was how many of our jumping spiders, mantises, crested geckos and gargoyle geckos were able to find their new forever families!

Our gal Sophia was caught off guard when she was asked to be interviewed but I think she did great 🙂 and they got some great shots of some of our babies and displays 🦎🦋🕷️

🐛🪲🐞The Perfect Pet for Insect Lovers!🌿

Whether you're a young insect lover or an adult hobbyist, mantids make a perfect pet! They're great for educational purposes or simply enjoying the beauty of nature in your own home!
🌿
Minimal Care, Maximum Fascination!
🌿
Mantids are easy to care for, requiring an enclosure, food (live insects), and water. Watch them grow, molt, and display their striking “praying” posture as they hunt. We provide a temporary enclosure and care sheets with each mantis 🍃🪲

We have the following mantids ready to go:

Asian/Jeweled Flower
Chinese Flower (Nebulosa)
Chinese Flower Sp.
Giant Asian
Giant African
Zebra

Come check them out this Saturday at Erie Reptile Expo and this Sunday at Pittsburgh Reptile Show & Sale!

Bouarfa
Moravicus
Ruficapillus
Elhennawyi

Note: The photos of the T and the velvets are not our own. We didn’t want to disturb our girl in her hide for photos and the velvet slings are not colored up yet!

Again to be fair to all we can’t hold any spiders, all are FCFS at the shows.

First group of availability is the cornerstone here at our Garden: the Geckos!

We have crested geckos, gargoyle geckos and a breeding group of neon day geckos.

Need a killer enclosure? A fresh bag of Pangea diet? Stop by our tables where life and death meet, and every critter has a story. 🕷️🦋🐛
