We love bugs and want to encourage that love in others, to educate and ensure that these wonderful creatures will be here for generations to come. We stock a range of insects – from Scorpions to Stick Insects, Pet Spiders and Roaches and everything inbetween!

Why keep insects as pets?
“Why would anyone keep insects or even pet spiders?” you might ask. Personally I love the beautiful, strange shape of insects, their colours, diversity, unusual behaviour and interesting life cycle. And luckily, many other people all over the world discover the fun in keeping insects as pets!
Invertebrates such as praying mantids and stick insects are fascinating and quite practical pets. They come in beautiful shapes and colours. It is fascinating to see the animals hunt, grow, molt, lay eggs and see their methods of camouflage and defenses.
An additional practical advantage, is their modest requirements for housing, care and food. Compared to common pets like cats, dogs, rodents and birds they require less time and space. They are also harmless, allergy-free and their food is less expensive than the food of most commons pets. All this makes them an increasingly popular group of animals to keep as pets, for young and old people alike!

May 15, 2022 Great little enclosure purchased for my juvenile jotus sp. A good size with lots of roaming space and room to add enrichment pieces without him getting lost. It was easy to add extra mesh in the top to prevent escape through air holes if you also have an extra small spiders . Very good quality enclosure.

Pretty rockhopper (Undescribed Euophyrinae, more than likely Saitis sp.) Male Missing a LegAshlee Davies
November 5, 2022 A lot of care was taken in the packaging and shipping of the T and it arrived relatively hassle free, despite a slight delay with AusPost.
Despite the journey it went through the T was remarkably calm and went straight into the hide of its new enclosure after a gentle nudge.
The T had dug further into and webbed up the entrance of its hide. It even had its legs hanging out and took a cricket, all in the same day as unboxing and rehousing.
Suffice to say, very satisfied with a super chill and healthy Juvie T.
Australian tarantula (Phlogius Cape Gloucester) Large JuvenilesGrant Gao
December 2, 2022 Arrived safely, alert and very curious, took a little while to get it in to its enclosure as it didn't want to leave the container. Only it would be awesome if a little pamphlet about the spider came with it. Giant bark jumping spider (Servaea incana)Sub/AdultsHayley Saffy
