Pickett, our gold dust day gecko, knows just where to hang out so that he's obnoxiously in my way. Jokes on him, though, he's gotta move before he gets food.

Our blackwater aquarium just got a bunch of new fresh botanicals added back into it, adding the beneficial tannins into the water. As your old botanicals start to decompose, it's always best to add new fresh botanicals to keep the water nice and dark!
We sell a huge assortment of different botanicals in store, as well as on our website.

Live food is a great source of nutrients for your fish, as well as adding great enrichment! While we don't have any live brine shrimp or daphnia, we sell loads of fruit fly cultures. Fruit flies float at the top of the water, and fish come to the surface to catch them.

If you've got dart frogs and fish at home, consider giving some fruit flies to your fish as well! Or if you've only got fish, come swing by and grab a fruit fly culture today.

Did you know that isopods will eat reptiles shed? They love to chow down on it, breaking it down, which makes them perfect for bioactive reptile enclosures! Although they seem to hate the belly scales of snakes.

Our green keel-bellied lizard can always be found basking in his UVB during the day. These guys make great display pets, as they're always out front and center during the day. However, we don't recommend handling them, as they are super quick!
