A small shop which packs a huge punch

A small shop which packs a huge punch. Can't believe how much they have, from spiderlings to vampire crabs, and an awesome leafcutter colony. Great supply of live plants and live foods.
Made to feel very welcome

Fantastic terrarium workshop

We had a fantastic time at one of Micro Exotics’ terrarium workshops! The guidance was expert yet relaxed, giving us the freedom to be creative and design exactly what we wanted. Everything was well-organised, and it felt like great value for money.

Perfect service

Exactly as their shipping page says, the order was shipped on Tuesday and arrived today. Isopods alive and well! As was the plant. Really pleased, would absolutely order from these again

Excellent Company

Excellent company ran by people who are clearly passionate about what they do and care about customer satisfaction. I bought two mystery packs of isopods and mentioned that pink is my favourite colour and the team listened and sent me beautiful pink ones, as requested. The value of what I received far exceeded what I paid and they were packaged with great care. I couldn’t be happier. If you need any inverts or terrarium stuff, I would strongly recommend buying from these guys.

Second time ordering from micro exotics, absolutely the best supplier of inverts I know of! Great customer service, all the bumblebee millipedes arrived safe, warm and healthy in secure packaging, would 100% recommend and buy from again.

Microexotics

Bit of a trek for us from Devon into Cornwall, but well worth making the journey to Microexotics! They have terrariums (ready made or DIY), spiders, millipedes, isopods and everything you need to feed and house them! Great little shop!

Superb quality of terrarium plants

I ordered a terrarium plant from Addz and was super pleased with quality of the plant and got a really good deal. Communication was spot on and the packaging was eco friendly and very well done. I will definitely order from Microexotics again. Thank you!

I visit about once a month to feed my geckos cricket and isopod addiction. These guys are super knowledgeable and have the freshest stock of all sorts of amazing live things, as well as some awesome creatures.
