🌟 Spotlight: Vietnamese Centipede (Scolopendra subspinipes)

Meet one of the most intense invertebrates we have in the shop right now — our Vietnamese centipede, a species known for its speed, attitude, and impressive size. It’s not new to the store, but it absolutely deserves its moment in the spotlight.

The photo we snapped honestly doesn’t do it justice — it’s incredibly hard to get a good picture of a creature that moves like lightning and prefers to stay tucked away. So if the pic looks a little underwhelming, trust us… the real thing is not.

Why this species stands out

• Vietnamese centipede — Known for their striking coloration and bold personality
• Scolopendra behavior — Fast, alert, and fascinating to watch (from a respectful distance)
• Arthropod care — A great pick for experienced keepers who love unique exotics

If you’ve been wanting a display invertebrate that commands attention, this is the one. Swing by Exotics & Aquatics and check it out in person — you’ll understand why the camera can’t keep up with it.

Three new little stars just landed in Exotics & Aquatics, and they’re already stealing hearts. The headline: two hand‑fed, just‑weaned baby green cheek conures and our first Indian ringneck in quite a while. If you love personality, color, and that sweet baby‑bird curiosity, this trio is going to light you up.

🌿 Meet the newcomers

• Baby green cheek conures — These two are absolute charmers. Soft, cuddly, playful, and already showing off that classic conure mix of mischief and affection. Hand‑fed babies bond fast, and these two are ready to imprint on their new people.
• Indian ringneck — It’s been a minute since we’ve had one of these elegant beauties. This youngster is bright‑eyed, curious, and already practicing that signature ringneck confidence. If you’ve been waiting for one, now’s your moment.

🌈 Why you should stop by

• Social time — These babies thrive on interaction, and nothing beats meeting them in person.
• Expert guidance — Whether you’re a seasoned bird keeper or brand new, the team can help you find the right fit.
• Supplies & enrichment — Toys, perches, food, and setups that keep your new companion happy and healthy.

🐦 A little extra sparkle

Hand‑fed babies are special — they’re trusting, people‑oriented, and eager to bond. If you’ve been thinking about adding a feathered friend to your life, this is one of those perfect‑timing moments.

Come meet them, hear their tiny chirps, and let them charm you in person.
