Invertebrates

Showing 1–12 of 22 results

Invertebrates are the entry point to bioactive keeping and, for many keepers, the reason they stay. Millipedes, isopods, springtails, centipedes, velvet worms and mantids ask for less space and less equipment than reptiles, but they are far less forgiving of a substrate that dries out or a enclosure with no ventilation. Substrate is the single most important variable. For detritivores it is not bedding, it is food: decaying hardwood, leaf litter and coco fibre in a deep layer, kept evenly moist and never allowed to dry through. For predatory species the priority shifts to secure ventilation and appropriately sized live prey. Most invertebrates in this category are shipped as live animals with real temperature constraints, so seasonal weather and destination state restrictions both affect what can legally and safely travel. Individual listings carry the specifics for that species, including adult size, the substrate depth it needs, and whether it is a communal or solitary keeper.
