Info & Policies

Shipping Policies

  • I offer a Live Arrival Guarantee (LAG). In case of any deaths, message immediately upon opening the package with clear proof of death within 2 hours for a replacement or refund. In the event that your bugs arrive worse for wear, send clear proof of their condition. If they pass within 2 days of receipt, you are still eligible for a replacement or refund. The cost of shipping and handling is nonrefundable.
  • I only ship within the United States; I will not ship internationally. I take payment through both PayPal and Venmo. A QR code will be sent to you after an order is placed. To place an order, simply contact me.
  • I ship Monday-Wednesday using UPS, FedEx, or USPS depending on the purchase. I generally ship using UPS 2nd Day Air, but will overnight fragile species or upon request. All spiders should be shipped using FedEx, as it is illegal to ship using other carriers.
  • Orders should be finalized and payed for before shipping. I ship all orders directly to your door, or to be held for pickup at a facility. I do not ship to PO Boxes.
  • Please note that I have a $20 minimum purchase policy due to the costs associated with proper live shipping.
  • If you intend to buy bulk, please notify me ahead of time so I have enough time to procure a suitable-sized box.
  • If you would like me to hold an individual for you, I can! In the event that I have a limited quanity of an organism, you can place a 30% down payment on your animal to ensure ownership.
  • I am not responsible for lost packages, or mistakes made by shipping carriers. It is your responsibility to provide me with the correct name and address.
  • In case of poor weather, some planned shipments may be put on hold. Shipments will resume when conditions are safe. I will always check your local weather before agreeing to ship. Sometimes I may request a package be held for pickup if it is too hot/cold to ship to your door.
  • Large order volumes may sometimes delay shipping. This business is single-handedly run by one person. (I have a new job, so I will be settling into new shipping routines.)
  • Virtual invoices will be provided with each order. If you would like to receive a paper copy alongside your shipment, please let me know.
  • In-person transactions will reflect expo pricing to account for lack of shipping cost. Inquire about these prices if you are meeting me in person. I am located in Massachusetts.
  • I will generally deliver or meet up for local deliveries Wednesday-Friday after 5PM. I can also deliver on weekends if given prior notification.

Husbandry Policies

  • Many of the species I sell will have corresponding caresheets. If a sold species has a caresheet, it will be hyperlinked in their details. Feel free to ask follow-up questions in DMs, or offer me suggestions to improve.
  • All bugs sold are Captive Bred or Captive Born. I am a big proponent of retaining captive populations of species to reduce rates of mass collection. DO NOT RELEASE any exotic, designer morph, or otherwise non-native animals purchased into the wild.
  • I will sometimes responsibly collect wild specimens for captive breeding projects, but they will never be listed for sale on my website. Contact me if interested.
  • While sold oothecae should be fertile, there is no guarantee they will hatch. Do your research, but feel free to ask me for advice. Similarly, all paired or gravid females should be fertile, but there is no guarantee they will lay.
  • I will not sell or ship i1 mantises. First instar nymphs are fragile and require constant feeding and hydration. It is not recommended to ship them.
  • I will also not sell or ship any spider slings younger than i5. From the fifth instar onwards, slings are more durable.
  • I will not sell the Northern Walking Stick (D. femorata) outside of its native range. I will check your zip code to confirm you are within the appropriate range.
  • In a similar fashion, not every state is roach-friendly. Check your local laws before purchasing. Florida specifically has very strict roach laws.
  • Living animals grow over time. If you place an order and your chosen individual molts, the price will reflect the new instar. Prices may be subject to change.
  • Updates on animals you have purchased from me are welcome and very appreciated! Please feel free to contact me regarding anything your critters have been up to! I'd love to watch them grow up with you.
  • I will never ship or sell sick or injured individuals. I try to monitor molt dates to avoid shipping bugs during premolt. If your held creature is in premolt, I will suggest a delay on your shipment.
  • I am willing to collaborate with other breeders. If a pairing is successful, I wish to receive eggs or young in return. If I pair in turn, and it is successful, I will send you eggs or young. Check my ISO to see if there are any mates that I’m currently looking for!
  • There is always a potential to get extras when you order from me, plus a free sticker and business card is included in every order. If you do not want freebies, you can opt out by telling me.

I often vend at local Reptile Expos. Most often you can find me at the Massachusetts Reptile Expo in Hanover, MA and the New England Reptile Expo in Manchester, NH.
