Terms of shipping:
I will only offer shipping when night time temperatures in my area exceed 40 degrees, all dubia are sent in insect bags via standard flat rate boxes. I do not offer any kind of LAG for feeder insects, an "over count" is always included to make up for any that don't make the trip. Refund or replacement can be available at my discretion based on circumstances of the order. If you place an order for shipping you automatically agree to the terms listed above.

NOT FOR SALE OR TRADE

BIG UPDATE!!!!

I'm slowly getting back into the game

Here's a few photos of some of the tarantulas currently in my collection

I'm hoping to be able to breed the M balfouri, E murinus and C lividus very soon, I'm simply just waiting on my females to molt

Some upcoming breeding projects that I currently have specimens of include:
C cyaneopubescens
P murinus
H pulchripes

I currently have dubia roaches available locally and will be offering shipping in the warmer months

FUTURE PLANS:

I'm hoping to get my hands on some other baboon species, some Poecilotheria and possibly one or two Theraphosa species to breed eventually but for now the species listed in the first half of this post are the only tarantulas I currently have in the collection and will definitely be breeding

I do plan on picking up where I left off before by getting into captive breeding Scolopendra species and possibly some scorpions

Now that everything is coming together I can finally make a post about our latest project. It's my personal roach food recipe. It's produced, packaged and labeled directly by me.

Right now I'm only offering half pound bags for pickup only.

Depending on how the initial batch sells I do eventually plan on offering various bag sizes and I will be able to offer shipping

I plan on taking more photos like this to use for future business card designs.

These were all taken with my Google pixel 3a XL

Ceratogyrus marshalli 2i

12/13/2019

The C marshalli have started molting in to 2i, looks like they'll be ready for the expo next weekend.

12/08/2019

Round two was successful

11/29/2019

Paired the Caribena versicolor today

11/27/2019

I finally found a male, now I can breed my C versicolor

11/24/2019

Opened the C marshalli sac last night. Mostly duds but there's a handful of ewls so that's not too bad

I'm still surprised any of them were fertile considering she made this over a year after the last pairing.

11/21/2019

A price list will be uploaded soon, although due to the very low temperatures here in Virginia it will be limited to local sales only. I can meet up at expos or you can come pick them up.

My breeding pair of Scolopendra dehaani "cherry red"

I'll be breeding them as soon as possible, I should hopefully have pedelings to sell by 2020

11/09/2019

As some of you may know I've been trying to get into producing centipedes, these are the three species I currently have and plan on producing. Obviously it will be a while before I can produce the S hainanum and S heros due to them being young pedelings but I'm pretty sure my E trigonopodus is ready to breed so I may have plings available in 2020. I'll also have some large dehaani in stock soon if all goes according to plan. I'll be breeding them as well, I should have them by 2020.

I also plan on getting some of the less common species to produce, such as Scolopendra sp "Mint Legs" and S galapagoensis. I can't guarantee when or even if I'll have those in stock but let me know if you guys would be interested in those species.

A surprise eggsac from my C marshalli, it's most likely infertile but we shall see when I open it up in 30 days.

My female has molted and a male is on its way.

Soon I can begin breeding Ephebopus murinus (skeleton leg tarantula)
