Giant Radioactive Turtle Reptiles and More

We got some large amphibians in this week. This is Chobi the giant marine toad. Chobi will stay here with us and be used for education. His permanent home hasn't been set up just yet. He will be on display soon.

Oof. Everyone is entitled to have an opinion, but this one smarts because we're in the middle of busting our butts moving all this stuff and setting it all back up again. Please be patient with us and reserve judgement for when we have finished the new space. And if you feel like we haven't done our best please let us know how we can improve.

We're open normal hours! Where is everyone? Moving seems to have confused and scared people away. WE ARE OPEN NORMAL HOURS.

We are pretty much completely moved into the new location and will be operating there moving forward. BUT... we are still setting things up. It'll be a little while before everything is up and running. We will have a GRAND OPENING of the full store at a later date. WE ARE OPEN NORMAL HOURS. THE NEW LOCATION IS IN THE SAME PLAZA. It's just 2 doors down from the original location.

We've started moving the animals over. If you're coming just to browse it's best to wait. There isn't going to be much to look at. BUT IF YOU HAVE INTENT TO PURCHASE WE CAN STILL HELP YOU! WE ARE STILL OPEN NORMAL HOURS!

We've begun moving over to the new space. We apologize for any potential clutter in the shop over the next few days. We hope to be completely or mostly moved over there by Tuesday. That doesn't mean the space will be completed by then. It actually may seem like we have less stuff for sale to begin with. All the aquatic animals will be over to one side which will be temporarily closed off to the public while we set it up bigger and better than before. We apologize for the inconvenience. We will make an announcement in the future when the full shop will be open.

I don't know if I like this. I don't want the Japanese Godzilla to lose its uniqueness by trying to appeal to the American audience. Who do you think it could be? I'm hoping for Nicholas Cage.

Takashi Said he wanted any willing American actor....I am so curious to who it may be.. of course this is also behind red tape. But I think it's safe to say we are gonna get a really cinematic masterpiece again..

Roaches and hornworms have arrived!

A few new things came in.

Red rubber salamanders.

Small webbed bell toads. These guys are like XL fire belly toads.

Baby pixie frogs. I know there's someone out there who comes in every week asking when these will be back in stock.

I'm happy that we're going to be able to stock my favorite soda from my hometown of Milwaukee, the brew city. I left Milwaukee because of the miserable weather but I do miss the food and the vibe of the city. Something this area is lacking. 15 different flavors will be available to try with different seasonal and limited edition flavors on rotation. Are there any other northerners out there that enjoy a delicious Sprecher?
