A quick shop update.

We are taking a short break next week. The last day to order is Monday, November 2 — orders placed by then ship on our normal schedule. The shop then pauses, and order processing resumes Tuesday, November 10.

🎃 Fresh out of the cauldron: Potion No. 1 is live in the shop.

Our isopod food blend — freeze-dried river shrimp, pea protein, bee pollen, spirulina, and calcium for strong molts — ground fresh and sealed in a glass apothecary jar with a cork. Sprinkle a pinch on the dry side of the enclosure 2–3 times a week.

No tricks in this treat: every ingredient is printed right on the label, and it's the same blend our own colonies eat.

Happy Halloween from ShieldWallExotics 🎃

Same price, bigger bag — now available.

Our biggest substrate bag just got bigger, at the same price as the old biggest bag. More substrate for your enclosures, colonies, and new builds, for exactly what you paid before.

The bigger bag ships free on its own. And if you are grabbing the Large, add some Rotten Hardwood Crumble to go with it and your order ships free too.

Premium Oak Charcoal — big pieces with real jobs in the bin.

100% organic oak charcoal in larger natural chunks. Stand the pieces up as hides and shelter in the enclosure, or use them as the base of a springtail culture. The porous structure holds moisture pockets and gives beneficial microbes surface to grow on.

1 quart, $6.99. Only 8 left in the shop right now.
