We’re excited to announce that we now have THREE amazing species of mantids back in stock at Gecko World! 🙌

🌸 Orchid Mantis (Hymenopus coronatus) – Famous for their stunning flower-like appearance, these beautiful mantids use camouflage to blend in with blossoms and ambush prey.

👻 Ghost Mantis (Phyllocrania paradoxa) – Masters of disguise, Ghost Mantids look just like dead leaves and are one of the most unique mantis species in the hobby.

🌺 Spiny Flower Mantis (Pseudocreobotra wahlbergii) – Small, colorful, and packed with personality, these mantids are known for their beautiful patterns and impressive threat displays.

These incredible insects are fascinating to observe and make a great addition for anyone interested in the world of invertebrates!

🪱✨ BIG NEWS FOR FEEDER QUALITY AT GECKO WORLD ✨🪱

We’re excited to announce that we are now hatching and raising silkworms in-house—and they are officially back in stock 🙌🦎

At Gecko World, we’re always looking for ways to improve the quality of care and nutrition we provide for reptiles and exotic animals. Raising our own silkworms allows us to better monitor their health, diet, and overall quality from the very beginning 💚

Silkworms are an excellent feeder option because they are:
✨ Soft-bodied and easy to digest
✨ Naturally high in moisture
✨ Great for many reptiles and amphibians
✨ A nutritious addition to a varied diet

We take pride in going the extra mile when it comes to feeder quality and animal care—and we’re excited to continue expanding what we raise in-house 👏

👉 Stop by Gecko World to grab some while they’re in stock!
