We keep a small variety of isopods and springtails for using in our bioactive terraria. Sometimes we have enough left in our cultures to make them available to others, so please inquire. Please note purchases may include springtail hitchhikers from the culture bin.
Feel free to inquire about Dubia Roaches when ordering geckos. Our roach bin is large enough that we can often spare a few for anyone who wants to try their hands at starting a small colony.
For the 2019 season we will currently be restricting isopod availability to customers already purchasing another animal from us at the time. We're busy building a lot of new set ups this year so availability may be limited.

Dubia Roaches
Blaptica dubia
Inquire with Gecko Purchase.
May include lesser mealworms (Alphitobius diaperinus) CUC if requested
We often produce more dubias than we go through during the year, so if you're just wanting to see if you can handle them, or need a few currently, feel free to inquire when purchasing an animal and we can see if we can spare some. Please note that these would be in numbers that could fit in your gecko box, so this is not always available.
Dubia roaches are fairly slow moving and prolific and cannot climb smooth surfaces or fly which make them ideal for feeding to various reptiles.
