🥣 BREAKFAST WITH THE BIG-MOUTH BRIGADE 🐸✨
Pacman frogs, Pixie frogs, AND Tomato frogs all kicked off their morning feast like the tiny chaos-gremlins they are.

From the Pacmans’ dramatic ambush lunges…
to the Pixies’ “I could eat a car” energy…
to the Tomato frogs politely pretending they’re not just as food‑obsessed…

Breakfast was a full-on amphibian buffet of enthusiasm, attitude, and zero table manners.
We love them for it.

Swing by today and meet the breakfast crew in person — they’re always ready for seconds.

About Us

History Eighth Element LLC was founded in the late summer of 2019 by three co-founders Amanda and Floyd VanDruff, and Cheyanne Thomas. Before the business there was the hobby, before that, a singular Nhandu Chromatis named Lydia, the very first tarantula in the Eighth Element family. As the hobby grew, they quickly adapted to the need for tarantula food, and began breeding their own supply of feeder insects, along with making their own feeder food. Their goals adapted, and now Eighth Element’s mission is to offer the highest quality, most unique merchandise on the market, from our family to yours. Why Choose Eighth Element? Eighth Element is dedicated to offer the highest quality, most unique merchandise on the market, from our family to yours. We strive to ensure high standard and quality care with all of our captive bred tarantulas and feeders, as well as maintaining the top customer service and care.
