Planning an online exotics store

How do you actually place an order on your site lol

Good question. By email for now.

That will become a problem if you end up being buisy lmao
why not try something like cube cart there must be something similar out there for free lol

I'll have a look into it Graham, Lol as newbies there will be loads of tweeking and teething probs but guaranteed it'll all come together.

It looks good so far, I may have to buy something from you when I get paid on friday lol

Do u ship internationally?

For all you Facebook junkies i invite you to become a fan of our Exotica FB page

Kuma, nice work mate, it looks good and a nice amount of content.

only thing i'll say is something i'm sure you know already...it's nigh impossible to make a full living online with pets... may still have to keep your day job. i'm aware of a few that sell inverts as a hobby really and work a normal job as well...

i really do wish you well with this, though!!! more shops to tempt me can only be good

and i've become a fan on facebook!

I really do it for the love of it, but i'm sure i'll save a buck as i raise my own live food.

Corpselight, Lisa and Mike thanks for the FB support too

we save a fortune raising our own livestock

our livefood cost to feed 80+ inverts and the WD's is about a tenner a month All we buy is a half bag of adult crickets - use some of them for breeding stock for pinheads to st3/4.

Once the roach colony is large enough that bill will be a fiver a month.

We breed our own roaches, crickets, mealies, waxes and weavels. Still need to perfect locusts though lol!

we used to pay £40+ a month on crickets, just shows ya

I have just got 300 locusts delivered this morning for my lil breeding project lol
our roach colony is also huge lmao, a tad smelly though LMAO
mealies and morios are also going strong, I dont bother with crickets anymore we were getting too many escapees haha

Ok guys and gals, stuff available on site now including cute colour forms of Leopard Geckos, Venezuelan Sun Tigers (Psalmopoeus irminia), Madras Forest Scorpion (Heterometrus madraspatensis), and Black Beauty stick insects (Peruphasma Schulti)

Have a look around

Yayyy! We've found our unique selling point! School show and tells and Home parties! Over the last week we've done 3 classes and 1 house party. They are so fascinated and holding a snake for the first time or having an emporer scorpion scuttle across the back of your hand is an experience to be remembered and just the pleasure of seeing an adult who is unsure about a leopard gecko, handle it then 5 minutes later have a full grown scorpion walk on them is just amazing!

One setback! At our first meeting we realised that the name of the site wasn't very 'kid friendly' especially when handing out promotional material to 10 year old's who use the World wide web without supervision accidentally stubble across the wrong kind of exotica we agreed on a sister site... see below

Lol, I guess some people forget the difference between "exotic" and "erotic."

That sounds exactly like what I did for the bugzoo during my tenure there. Loads of fun to see the kids' (and some adults') reactions.

Yeah a lady said she found some snakes, but not the kind of snakes she was expecting! lol!

Rofl ^ Site looks nice... wish I was in UK
I like canada though... the no liscence thing is pretty cool.
