These lads have made a huge bounce back! They'll be available again in 2027! For those who don't know, these tiny pink lads are Cylindrodesmus laniger, a seemingly globally distributed species through the plant trade, they are also Parthenogenic! I had a sudden culture collapse a but ago but they've bounced back quite quick! Estimating at least 2027 for them to be available again! These guys are generalists like Greenhouse Millipedes and in some cases have been known to outnumber even Isopod populations in an enclosure!

Love how unique the patterning of the Haze Variant ends up being! Just look at the sheer dichotomy of morphology between these 2 lads! Would love to see more of future generations of these Leopards to continue to produce this variant! Twice I've had it come up now! Still need to get some art commissioned of the variant!

A bunch of my photos from across New Brunswick & P.E.I. from the last couple weeks on vacation! And why I haven't been terribly active the last bit! Had an absolute blast! Saw a lot of marine life along the coast, managed to take one loch ness monster style photo of a Minke Whale at the end there. Saw tons of Periwinkle snails & Barnacles. Very beautiful along the east coast! Unfortunately very low diversity of Snail & Slug species across the board due to such high ratio of coniferous woodlands and generally less resources for many native species compared to other regions like Ontario & BC. But it's not without its merits!

Winding Mantleslugs natively occur along the east coast in Canada and managed to spot 2 while there. Also, home to a large population of Tree Slugs! They're the final member of the Limacidae family with confirmed establishment here in Canada I've yet to work with! With behavior and ecology very similar to our native Mantleslug species but seemingly having a higher tolerance for the ecosystems out east! And finally White Lipped Grove Snails! Canada's only cross-native snail species with a special history! Archeological records of the east coast date shells of this species occuring earlier than the first viking landing on the east coast, researching supporting the species occuring in Canada almost 8000 years ago. Making them a species native to the region as they now play a role in the ecosystem unlike their more commonly represented cousins the Brown-lipped Grove Snail! The species even shows explicitly adapted behavior such as camouflage with blooming Goldenrod flowers!

Some phenomenal news regarding species being found around the house now! We have Milkweed Beetles & Milkweed Bugs on our Swamp Milkweed, several different Ladybug species running around a variety of plants, a neat lil grass hopper chilling. AND one of the most important ones, an absurd of amount of very healthy Monarch Caterpillars! One Swamp Milkweed in the back is hosting 3 with not too much damage to the plant nearing maturity.

The Swamp Milkweed out front though? It's somehow still survived 6 active caterpillars which is crazy to me! One began to crawl on the ground off the plant so I moved that lad onto the back Milkweed temporarily, I don't have time unfortunately to hand raise all of them but I could maybe get away with some of the oldest individuals and release them before I leave for vacation. I'll see how much damage they do to the Milkweed just so they don't starve themselves!

Carthusian Nun Snails! They're such a little Medium-Small species that I couldn't afford to put them into a bin until they were old enough they couldn't sneak out under gaps of the lid or ventilation, and now they're properly setup! They are a gorgeous species producing a very pearl shell, and care wise are very similar to Groves but more active and far less picky eaters!

Starting this month I'll be implementing a special order form required for both Changeable Mantleslugs & Velvet Wedge Snails! Look into both the dedicated post and page on my website for further information. Photo above is of the direct page! This has been in the works for some time but was pending species to be captive bred in the first place. For the overall health of the hobby I personally feel this is good for these select species to track their long term establishment.

07/04/2026

We finally have 2nd generation Velvet Wedges! Pending final head count of hatchlings and survival rate, they won't be available until later on! But if things go well, they'll be my first Terms & Conditions species I distribute, I'll talk more about that when it comes to that point but for now just excited to see these lads this morning!

Post above says it all but Happy Pride Month everyone! Thank you all for your continued support year round, but don't just support me, go support your local artists/vendors, your q***r, transgender and otherwise community, friends & family! Not just during Pride Month but year round! Regardless though, go and celebrate, this time is for y'all! (Me included). This has always been a safe space for the LGBTQ+ community, especially being Bi myself and making a lot of friends in the community, if you don't agree with it/can't support it? G**O. Thank you! 🐌🏳️‍🌈💖

Photo says it all but thank you all so much for your continued support! This giveaway was meant to be at the start of the month but here it is now! A full bioactive giveaway (no enclosure of course that's at your own discretion), that includes basically most of what I'd put into my own tanks! The snail/slug pairs are species I have kept together with success and have relatively similar environmental requirements to each other! Good luck to everyone who participates!

I love how colorful Copse Snails are! They're a very pretty species up close! Even underneath here where they produce a lot of diversity in their morphology! Though their most common body color is the near black body color you see on the bottom snail here! Only took a couple years but finally happy to have them successfully captive bred!
