    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Many small invertebrate feeders for sale or trade

I am thinning out my collection by half so I'm offering my usual 16oz and 25oz cups of feeders. Also, for select species I'll be selling shoebox containers of some and sweater box sized containers of others. Let it be known that you may receive a culture with more than 1 species in it. Eg. you may have ordered a giant orange culture that has some tropical springs in it. All cultures are free of mites and other pests. Occasionally, if upon receiving your order you notice that the bugs look dead don't throw them out or worry. A lot of times, either from excess CO2 ,methane buildup, or cool temps will put your bugs into a state of suspended animation, just wait a few days or more and you should see some movement. FInally my method of feeding is as follows: either spectrum pellets with vitamin A, mushrooms, yeast, oatmeal, fish flake, or just good dead organics work well for springtails. For Isopods I feed zucchini slices, fish pellets, mushrooms, or even cat food. I also use organics and corrugated cardboard/

So here's what I have. First come first serve. All cultures are producing-booming.

Springtails:
-Giant Blacks(tomoscerus sp) (16oz./$7, 25oz/$13, shoebox $25)
-Topical pinks and whites(16oz/6, 25oz/$10, shoebox($22, sweaterbox$30)
-Temperate whites (16oz/$5, 25oz/10, shoebox $20)
-Temperate blues (Podura sp) (16oz/$7, 25oz/$13)
-Silver springtails (16oz/$7, shoebox/$25)
-2 unknown varieties, locally found (16oz)

Isopods:
-Giant Oranges(16oz/$9, 25oz$17, shoebox/$28, sweater box/$40
-Pillbugs (16oz/$5)
-Unknown sp about size of oranges (Sweater box/$20)
-Dwarf Greys (16oz$7, 25oz/$13, shoebox/$26, sweater box/$35)
_Dwarf purples(16oz/$7, 25oz/$13, shoebox/$26)
-Jungle micropods (16oz/$9, 25oz/$17, shoebox$38)
-yellow micropods(16oz$9, shoebox$26)
-maybe red micro pods too.(?)

Flies(all are $5):
-Turkish gliders
-Hydei
-Melanogaster(wingless, and flightless

Please keep in mind that I do not have even a rough count of how many I have. Therefore, better cultures should go out first. Priority will be given to the first to complete the transaction. Shipping is through USPS priority mail, generally $6-20 depending on size of the order. I don't charge for packing. I do charge a $2 hot/cool pack. Orders go out Monday-Wednesday usually the following monday or the one after. Temps must be above 35 and below 85. Buyer needs to inform me of insurance or any other shipping extras. I generally require a sign upon delivery. In the case of DOA please send me pics immediately, and do not send them back until we resolve the matter.

All orders over $50 will receive either a 10% discount or breeders choice extras.

Thanks for looking
