We've been getting a lot of emails about shipping costs being too high and we wanted to address the community about it here. So why does it cost almost $50 to ship a spider? Why does Micro Wilderness only offer FedEx Overnight or 2 Day Shipping? 1. Federal Law Federal Law prohibits the shipment of live animals, especially dangerous live animals, via US Postal Service. DHL, and UPS also will not carry live animals. The only legal method of shipping dangerous animals is FedEx Overnight, or FedEx 2 Day delivery.

I’m not an animal hoarder I swear!  This year has been difficult because I started to phase out breeding projects I started a decade ago, rehoming snakes that literally grew up with me. C’est la vie, part of growing up is making space for new thing to flourish in you life right? Well... in lieu of me adopting out a lot of my old breeder ball pythons, my wife got me a Nephrurus Levis Levis (Smooth Knob Tail Gecko) for my bday. This is my favorite gecko species of all time, heads nearly as large as their bodies, eyes just as disproportionately big——-> they look like they were drawn out for an ..read more

One species in particular I had major success with this year, the beautiful Caribena Versicolor.  January 6, 2019 i picked up my first adult female ..read more
