Creeper
Orange Titan Millipede
Giant orange millipedes are gentle detritivores that spend much of their time exploring leaf litter and soil, helping to recycle decaying plant material. Their many legs and slow, deliberate movements make them wonderfully unusual inhabitants of a bioactive enclosure.

Giant Vinegaroon
Mastigoproctus giganteus
Giant vinegaroons are unusual arachnids that look intimidating but are generally shy and defensive rather than aggressive. When threatened, they can release an acetic-acid spray with a vinegar-like smell — hence their wonderfully strange name!
Hermes, Nelly, Chomp & Family
Giant African Land Snails
Giant African land snails are remarkable molluscs capable of growing to an impressive size and possessing surprisingly complex behaviours. Slow-moving but endlessly fascinating, they are excellent examples of how incredible even the most overlooked creatures can be.
Indian Stick Insects
Indian stick insects are masters of camouflage, using their long, twig-like bodies to disappear amongst vegetation. They are a brilliant example of how evolution can produce extraordinary adaptations for survival.
Dairy Cow Isopod Farm
Dairy Cow isopods are striking black-and-white terrestrial crustaceans that make fantastic members of a bioactive clean-up crew. They spend their lives breaking down decaying organic matter and recycling nutrients within their miniature ecosystem.
AND MORE!
Sun Beetles
Sun beetles are colourful African scarab beetles whose adults are often seen actively feeding and exploring during daylight hours. Their fascinating life cycle includes a larval stage spent underground before emerging as beautiful adult beetles.
Gherkin
Pacman Frog
Pacman frogs are colourful, charismatic ambush predators named for their huge mouths and tendency to eat almost anything that moves! They spend much of their time buried in the substrate, waiting for prey to pass by. Despite their chunky appearance, they’re fascinating frogs with plenty of personality.
Jerry
Two Spot Assassin Bug
Two-spot assassin bugs are predatory insects that use a specialised piercing mouthpart to capture and feed on other insects. Their striking appearance and fascinating hunting behaviour make them particularly interesting to observe.
Giant African Mantis
Giant African mantises are impressive ambush predators that use their excellent eyesight and lightning-fast forelegs to catch prey. Their patient hunting behaviour makes them fascinating animals to observe.
