Sales List!
New Items & Sales:
Limestone, Stickers, bulk Sweet Gum Pods, and Leca Clay Balls!
Alert: pricing and sizes on bulk substrate boxes have changed!
Shipping costs have changed recently, so I'm adjusting my bulk prices.
(Now you can get bulk pricing on less substrate. Win!)
I've upgraded each section of this list to its own page for the full descriptions, so look for the links if you need more than a quick price list before ordering.
Limestone tiles -
These are really cool, and a nice alternative to chunks or chips of limestone for cave dwelling isopods and other limestone loving inverts such as terrestrial snails.
Unsealed and untreated, with slightly rounded edges. Lightweight enough to act as a hide in addition to a good calcium source.
$1 each
Mesh filter bags -
Something for the aquatic keepers this time.
These mesh filter bags are really nice quality, with zipper closure instead of the usual annoying drawstrings.
Perfect for use with crushed coral for maintaining high pH for aquatic snails, or for holding other filter media.
$5 each, your choice of black or white
STICKERS!
Real, physical, not print on demand.
These are incredible quality, waterproof and flexible enough for curved surfaces like water bottles, and nicely sticky. Glossy, but not aggressively shiny.
Yes, these are all printed from my artwork. If they sell well, I'll do more designs in the future.
$1 each, or a full set for $10.
Free postage inside the US.
Leca clay balls -
Leca balls make a great drainage layer in terrariums and are used for plant growing media for hydroponics and growing epiphytic orchids. These are the rough type of leca balls, not the overly smooth ones that roots sometimes struggle to hold onto.
Rinse well before use.
$10 per gallon bag
Bulk sweet gum pods -
These aren't as pretty as my usual sweet gum pods. Uneven sizes, broken spikes, odd colors, but they're all usable as hides for inverts and their young.
$6 for as many as I can stuff in a quart bag.

Leaves:
Click here for full listings with photos and more information about each type of leaf.
A lot of people selling leaves just rake them up, shove them in a bag, and you're lucky if they've even been frozen. I spend time hand-sorting to make sure you're only getting good leaves. Not sticks, rocks, pine needles, dead bugs, spiders, etc.
The leaves are then frozen for a minimum of three days at -45° in a deep freezer to sterilize them. My leaves are never heat sterilized, as heat sterilizing kills all of the existing fungi and beneficial soil bacteria, resulting in mold outbreaks from random spores in the air after rehydration in you enclosures. Soil bacteria is also important for the gut biome of detritivores, and vital to their ability to digest food.
All of my leaves are packaged in heavy duty 4 mil plastic resealable zipper bags, because I personally don't like having leaves spilling all over if I drop a bag. I don't sell anything I wouldn't use, so I also don't do packaging I wouldn't be happy to receive if I bought it from another merchant.
