TC INSECTS - Feeder Insects, Isopods, Springtails, Spiders and More - Curbside Order Pick-Up ONLY, No In-Store Shopping

"Ordered 10cts. Of Armadillidium klugii Montenegro, Armadillidium maculatum Zebra, Cubaris murina Whiteout isopods, and a mixed culture of pink tropical springtails and white temperate springtails on a charcoal substrate. The Good: I am in Oklahoma so shipping was quick. Heat pack wasn’t too hot and wasn’t cold, both of which are good because isopods die from both extremes. Received package in 2 days after receiving the shipment notification. All of the isopods were great breeding size young adults and were all alive on arrival and VERY active, especially the Cubaris. They took well to their new enclosures and I have already seen activity by a few on the surface of the thick leaf litter. The Bad: I would hardly say any aspect of this delivery was “bad” at all. My only slight complaint is that I have yet to see any pink tropical springtails in the culture. I put the majority in a very similar container as what they were delivered: a sterilite tub with a 1-2 inch layer of water under a lump charcoal bed. The rest were placed in very small colonies 2-7 springtails into each of my isopod enclosures. The colony as a whole was rather small so I probably should have ordered more (which I will not hold against the vendor because that would be ludicrous). However, like I stated earlier, there appears to be no pink tropical springtails in the springtail culture. Another slight negative is that the isopods came with coco fiber in their substrate, which is now known to have no nutritional benefit whatsoever to isopods and can potentially cause blockages. Ultimately I am absolutely giving this vendor a five star review because their work is not easy and often goes under-appreciated and over-criticized. The springtails were active at the very least and are taking well to their new enclosures. I am not upset that I was only given white springtails as whites and pinks will eventually compete to fill their niche, and one of the colonies will die off at some point. I did not think to provide photos of the package or containers they were delivered in, all of which were fine. I will add photos of the enclosures they ended up in."

"I've been using them for almost a year for feeder insects for a bearded dragon. Great prices, and same day curbside pick up. They do ship as well."

"This place has perfect springtails and isopods perfect for my bioactive terrarium for my crested gecko. Once the bugs settle, I sprinkle some leftover snake shed, and the calcium in the shed makes them breed like crazy."

"I ordered some isopods via the website. 20 Panda Kings, 20 Pak Chong and 50 Zebras. Fairly priced & they all arrived healthy and well packaged. I’m very satisfied with the communication and speed of shipping. No isopods were lost or injured during these videos lol. I opted for 2 day shipping with 72 hr heat pack (January in Chicago is cold). I also opted to pick them up from my local FedEx hub. from I’m so glad they offered this option. I’ve not had a very good experience in the past with a different isopod seller that resulted in 2 perished cultures. Needless to say TC is a very welcomed positive experience. It’s very relieving to know the care and consideration TC has for their animals. 100% will be back again!"

"Just want to say again, the isopods I got(40) powdered oranges have bred to 1000s since 2020. Such a great line you have! Many stay out in the open on the plant side, when I mist with calcium water, they come running. This is nothing compared to the anole tanks over the years. I always mention where I bought these guys at, as I am amazed they have done so well whether tropical or arid set ups. They have also became a main feeder for my anole's tank, she hangs upside down and just drops on them! She watches them like we do as they go about so that is also enrichment for her."
