Almost Heaven Herps

We found one of these spherillo "Dream" isopods on the ceiling in our living room today, so safe to say my colony is more than thriving and I could stand to rehome a few counts of them! These guys are super rare but easy to care for and are a great "set it and forget it" style display terrarium pet. I feed mine carrot pieces and leftover gecko food and they have exploded in numbers!

They have what appears to be two distinct color forms in my colony, so some of them are really light colored, maybe hypo. The ones pictured here are examples of both versions. Someone could separate the light ones out and potentially isolate a new morph, but I just don't have the time.

I'll pr!ce match any website, and then beat that. Hmu if you'd like to add some!

Klungo! This guy is a monster. 15 inches long and turns 4 years old tomorrow! Big thanks to George Delgadillo for letting me grab this guy. I'm letting his intended lady (Gruntilda) bulk up some before I attempt to pair them over the winter. Fingers crossed for minimal huffing and puffing from either 🤞🤞 Klungo x Grunty 4ever!

I have multiple leachies, leopard geckos (mostly supergiants), and red gargoyle geckos looking for new cork bark! Shipping will open soon but I will be at the West Virginia Reptile Expo in Charleston this Sunday and can bring any upon request. Message and let me know which type of animal you're interested in and I can send more pics of what I've got!

While we won't have a table at the West Virginia Reptile Expo this Sunday in Charleston, we will of course be there still and we are happy to deliver critters for free to the show!

I'm looking to downsize some so I am putting up for grabs some higher end leachies, supergiant leopard geckos, gargoyles, and isopods.

Here is one of the leachies I've got looking for a new home, with a photo of his insanely colorful parents. He has eggs waiting to hatch so he is nearly proven. He is a SHCL and I predict his babies will outdo him in color. This is a fantastic way to get super high end genetics for a small fraction of what his siblings with higher color went for. He is fired down in this photo but as with most geckos, gets cooler looking when fired.

I am happy to do short-term p@yment plans, but please be aware that many of these guys are collector-quality animals. They will make fantastic pets and/or additions to a breeding program to really level up your projects!

Video proof that the crazy leachie Klungo is just like 99% of leachies as a whole -- an absolute baby once out of his enclosure. This guy weighed in at 398 grams tonight. A true monster!

Would you believe that this violent lizard monster is actually a total sweetheart once you manage to get him out of his enclosure? Leachies get such a bad rap for being scary, but they're just territorial sometimes. And really, can you blame them? They just want to protect their home.

Not all leachies are like this in their enclosures, but Klungo is super defensive when it comes to his cork castle. He was being very extra about me working in the gecko room last night, so I figured I might as well film his antics.

We have two striking examples of "real deal" supergiants looking for new enclosures! These guys are huge for their ages and come from two massive lines of SGs -- Osiris and Godzilla. If you're wanting a friendly, impressive pet that's sure to make an awesome breeder as well, hit me up for more details!

The large male here is only 3 months and 7 days old 🤯 and the younger male is about 1.5 months old. The standard growth rate for SG growth is 10 grams a month, so both of these boys should well exceed the minimum standard weight of 110g (with a lanky build) as adults!

We offer free delivery to the Sept 20 West Virginia Reptile Expo or shipping when weather cools down a bit more.

Incredibly cool and unusual isopods looking for new cork bark! Pictured here are orange titans which are the second largest isopod in the world, and the super rare "dream" isopod that have all sorts of pretty pattern to them and are partially arboreal!

Both species are incredibly easy to keep once set up properly. The titans in particular are very active during the day so they make a fantastic display pod!

Can del!ver to the Sept 20 West Virginia Reptile Expo or sh!p once the weather cools down

Female purple GTx leachie looking for new digs.

This girl just dropped duds and surprised us because she was sold to me as male, and we already have her sister paired up, so this lady is up for grabs! She has beautiful purple pattern. She is probably more island than grand terre, imo, because she is on the smaller side, but she still has a little...
