Who we are

We're a family-owned isopod breeder based in Escondido, California, with over 40 years of combined animal-husbandry experience. What started as a way to support a dart-frog collection has grown into a passion project - we now cultivate more than 40 species of isopods, from beginner-friendly cleanup crews to harder-to-find exotic pet species. Everything we sell is captive-bred, and we only sell animals that are thriving.
