Specialising in captive bred Arachnids from around the world since 1986


Peyote Cacti!

.........We grow a fair number of plants, including Peyote Cacti (Lophophora williamsii)! These unusual, spineless plants grow little tufts of hairs where most Cacti would otherwise have spines. Easy to grow, they prefer bright light and very little water, especially in winter. They will form colonies over time with new heads popping out of the mother stem and produce white to pink flowers (depending on subspecies and cultivar). Currently available in a variety of sizes and priced at 40$ - 100$

Enclosures

.........New! We now have 2 sizes of spiderling enclosures. These are not as clear as acrylic, but still offer great visibility and have extra small ventilation holes that are perfect for small spiderlings! They are also easily stacked and have a small feeding door, reducing the risk of escapes during feeding. Prices include substrate and are as follows:

3.5"x3.5"x1.5" 2/$5 - plenty still available, but we will be discontinuing these later this year in favour of the larger size =->
4.5"x4.5"x3" $5

We also have an a variety of used acrylic and glass enclosures - please inquire for details.

We also have ExoTerra Nano Tall (70$) terrariums currently in stock, but please be aware that these are only available by pickup or shipped by air cargo. Due to the wide availability and fragile nature of Critter Keepers, we no longer stock these, sorry!

Arachnophiliacs reusable shopping totes!

.........New! Carry your items around in our new woven nylon shopping totes. Measuring 14"x13"x4.5" they are large enough for small shopping trips, carrying books or reptile expos as they are just the right width for carrying deli cups!
All black with the Arachnophiliacs logo on the front 3$ each or 2/5$

Lighting

.........For our reptile customers, we've got Mercury vapour heat lamps (MVB)! These bulbs emit both U.V.A. and U.V.B. rays, essential for proper absorption of Calcium in basking reptiles such as turtles and tortoises as well as diurnal lizards. 125W and priced at 65$ (taxes included)!

Substrate

......... Over the many years I have been keeping Arachnids, I have yet to find a suitable substrate sold anywhere. For this reason, I have always mixed my own and am now offering it for sale at 5$ for a 4 litre bag!

Other Dry Goods

......... We have scaled back our selection of dry goods substantially, but we do still have a wide selection of metal screen tops for various tank sizes and do occassionally have options for hides and water dishes. Please let us know what you need and we'll try our best to accommodate you!
