New for 2012
It is some time now since I have had visitors to my bug house but I have decided to 'open my doors' once again. I will be welcoming visitors by appointment on Saturdays. If you would like to call in, look around, have a chat and of course acquire some new bugs please ring or email for an appointment. I will not be available every Saturday so please book well in advance if you can (I will obviously try and be around when people would like to visit). I need to have visitors by appointment as there isn't a lot of space if several people turn up as once!
It is now 30 years since I started my entomological business! I have price lists from 1982 that I hope to reproduce on my website soon (when I can find the time!)
If you are from outside the UK and finding it hard to understand my website I find Google translate is excellent www.translate.google.com
Important Information: This information is shown elsewhere on my website but I am still asked almost every day! Please read my terms and conditions / FAQ page before asking questions (in the information box on the left hand side).
1) When an order has been despatched you will receive an email, delivery should then be expected the following day before 1pm.
2) I cannot sex immature tarantulas, I do not know how to.
3) If the animal that you are looking for is not showing on my site then I do not have it and I cannot say when it may be in. I never know what is coming in next!
4) I cannot put instructions on the parcel for your postman, you may wish to put a note on your door (leave next door, come around to the back door, hoot horn loudly and any other requests). The parcel will require a signature.
5) Site Search box (above), if you enter the name or part of the name of the animal you are looking for, it will locate the animal if it exists on my site. This is very useful if the animal is on special offer or a bulk buy deal as it will show all the pages that it occurs on.
6) Your order will arrive the day after it is posted / this may not be the day after you have placed the order.

*******************************************************************
I am the original 'Bug Lady', breeding and supplying many types of creepy crawlies for almost 30 years but in the last couple of years I have found myself becoming more and more the ‘Spider Lady’. Trends seem to be changing and arachnids are far more popular than they have ever been before. I have a large log cabin in my garden where I keep a multitude of creatures. Since moving out of London my work is mainly postal . I am not keen on change and it took me a long time to actually reach the 21st century and see the potential of customers ordering online. I am now fully convinced, business has increased tremendously since setting up my online store in 2009. I am still easily accessible by email and telephone and I strive to maintain my position as the most friendly and reliable bug supplier!
In years gone by I bred lepidoptera for schools and private individuals, I manufactured a range of net cages and visited primary schools with my mini-beast show. I now concentrate on breeding and supplying live bugs within the UK and Europe. I appeared on television quite frequently in the past (the Big Breakfast and various children's TV shows), these days I am generally behind the scenes, supplying the bugs to be filmed. I supply many schools, universities, butterfly farms, zoos and private individuals. Associated equipment is also stocked e.g. heat mats, books, containers, thermometers and hygrometers. I do not import any animals, consequently the vast majority of my creatures are captive bred. |
