I was mostly happy with my order. Prices were great. I received all juveniles, which is good. I didn’t expect so many to be such little babies though. 6 of one species died in transit. All of the others arrived healthy. I did order quite a lot of pods and the it was hot outside so I suppose some were bound to perish.
