    Tiger leeches

    Posted by Phillip on 20th Jun 2023

    What can I say but they are one of, if not the most interesting and amazing creatures I have ever had. Just to watch the way they move and adapt to the environment.

    Posted by Michaella on 5th Jun 2023

    Arrived to me on my birthday! Super quick delivery and got here safe and sound. I got to feed it straight away and it was an awesome experience! It's a gorgeous fascinating creature! I named it "Kreecher" and it lives in my bedroom in a nice spacious tank <3

    Couldn't have gone better

    I got my leech in perfect condition. A bit of water had spilled out of the container but it was in a secure bag and didn't get anywhere. He seems to be in perfect health and took to his new home quite quickly

    Super Cute & Intelligent Creatures

    Posted by Jade MB on 29th Mar 2022

    Really cute little guys, fed on me just fine the first night. Although for whatever reason, I don't believe they were sold to me as juveniles as the website said, as they were quite larger than I expected. Nevertheless, they're very well behaved and adventurous creatures. Very pleased to have a pet like these guys.
