We purchased our black beauty from the website and he arrived well packaged safe and sound, a day later than we thought (due to the Royal Mail) but Graeme has been fantastic in keeping me up to date with things and also supplying lots of valuable knowledge and information to me as a first time owner of the stick insect. Thanks again for the help and support it has been greatly appreciated!
