We educate our customers on finding beauty in all of nature- living or deceased. Our staff is knowledgeable in the maintenance and husbandry of reptiles, amphibians and invertabrates and can help you pick the pet that will best suit you. We can provide you with all the materials and education needed to maintain the health and happiness of your animals. Our business blossomed from a curiosity of nature and all its weirdness. We started collecting and foraging as a hobby and now want to share our love of the bizarre and beautiful with you. Please stop by often to see our assortment of creepy crawlies and new oddities. All walks and slithers of life are welcome!

Established in 2018.
Michael achieved a degree in Business in 2013 and after a few years working in sales, decided to take his hobby and love of reptiles and turn it into a lifestyle. Inspired by his best friend Patrick’s collection of weird and macabre stuff, Michael began to acquire oddities and antiquities himself. When their collections began to turn into what Mike’s wife Shay described as ‘hoarding tendencies’ they decided to share with the world, their assortment of the weird and the amazingly satisfying parenthood of reptile ownership.
