We are a local business that breeds tarantulas along with selling reptiles and feeders

Got crickets we do — and LOTS of them. Cassie tried to count but lost track somewhere after “a whole bunch.” Swing by and grab your feeders before they hop into a staff meeting.

Cassie’s supervising the great cricket count today, and these little jumpers are fresh off the truck. Swing by and grab your feeders — your reptiles will thank you! We’ve got plenty, they’re lively, and they’re ready to fuel your critters.

☀️ Friday Hours Update! ☀️
This Friday only, we’ll be open 8 AM–12 PM — just a morning shift while we close up for the afternoon.

Come in early, grab feeders and supplies, check out the critters, and get your weekend started right. The crew will be here bright and caffeinated.

The flooring is DONE and the shop already feels brand new — but Cassie says we’re only halfway there. Shelving needs to be built, reorganizing is in full swing, and the front counter is about to get a fresh coat of paint.

Our feathered supervisor has been overseeing every step, loudly reminding us when we’re ‘behind schedule.’

Big upgrades coming… and yes, Cassie will personally approve each one.”**

Fresh windows, fresh vibes. Chey Thomas is out here scraping, repainting, and absolutely leveling up our storefront with brand‑new custom art. Supporting your local artist means supporting the heartbeat of your community — and we’re proud to have her magic on our windows again. Stop by, snap a pic, and show her some love.

Sugar gliders have officially touched down at Eighth Element Exotics, and they are already stealing hearts. Those big curious eyes, tiny grabby hands, and the way they snuggle together like a fuzzy little friendship burrito — absolute perfection. If anyone needed a reason to stop by today, this is it.

Come meet the new trio of pocket-sized chaos and charm.
