Current Keep List

Isopods:

Species listed with strike through formatting are either currently crashed and I'm looking for new stock, or crashed and I'm hoping there's survivors in the bin that I couldn't find. 

Species listed with an asterisk are either crashed or so good at hiding that I couldn't find them as of early January 2025. This is mostly tiny fossorial species.

Dorylaea orini - Orin's Zebra Roach 

Any Ironclad beetles. All species are desired. My partner has some BDFB and we have plenty of room in our enclosure for more.

Snakes- 

All snakes need to be eating well on frozen/thawed unless otherwise noted. 

I am not in general interested in WC snakes except where stated directly, or any snake that only eats live rodents. Also not interested in any larger snakes that have a serious attitude problem. 

(I don't care if sand boas are bitey. Just stuff that is likely to leave scars. Some people are cool with six feet of snake that hates the world, but I have other things to do with my time, lol. I don't expect cuddly, but don't try to trade me an extremely hostile adult boa, python or colubrid.) 

I'm also not interested in hatchlings that aren't eating yet of any species. 

A 1:1 pair of any morph of Rosy Boa, though my favorite is the Mexican locality, followed by Snow. There's no bad locality or morph of Rosy. 

A 1:1 pair of Rubber Boas

A 1:1 pair of Calabar Ground Boas - must be eating regularly - no raw imports unless very cheap. An ex-roomate killed a pair of these when I was out of town, and I badly want to try again to breed these incredibly weird and cool snakes.

A 1:1 pair of Arabian, Saharan or Russian Sand Boas. I've kept a Saharan that was a rescue years ago and really miss that weirdo. 

A female Anerythristic Kenyan sand boa, at least sub adult. (I have a male, and he's an idiot. I'd love to get a girl to make dumb babies with him.)

I'll consider any other Sand Boas or Primitive boas of this type as well, in pairs. I'm not totally uninterested in individuals, but pairs are preferred. 

1 two to three year old male Brazilian Rainbow boa - I have a female I am lazily looking for a mate for.

1:1 Lampropeltis getula nigrita - Mexican Black Kingsnake pair, any size. Only interested in fully black bloodlines, though the tiny white spot common under the chin is fine. 

Plants: 

Aloes, agaves, mangaves, haworthias and hybrids of these - willing to trade for ones I don't have

Philodendrons, pothos and monstera especially upright or variegated 

Selaginella - any

Ferns 

Mosses

Pilea glauca

Other terrarium plants 

Aquatic plants - low tech only. 

I'm not currently looking for carnivorous plants, thanks.

Other-

Bones and wet specimens, Amber, Fossils, Exotic wood - Any type. Show me photos of what you have available. 

Rotwood - must be able to crumble by hand. Light and dark are both good. 

Leaves - dry, hardwood leaves. In particular looking for a good source of mulberry, catalpa/Indian almond or cottonwood leaves. Please don't send me wet leaves. They smell terrible by the time they arrive, and they cost more to ship. 

Seed pods - sweet gum, magnolia, acorns and their caps, etc 

Driftwood - must be dry. Do not send me a box of damp wood. It's heavy and smells nasty. 

Aquatic snails - please have pics available, and if they're wild collected I will need location data. No saltwater species, please. 

Freshwater Shrimp - currently looking for snowball neos. But if you have other shrimp I'm interested.
