Held at low density, fed and observed daily before becoming eligible to ship.

One-third water, two-thirds pure oxygen, double-bagged with cover material.

Guaranteed alive
Report a loss within four hours of delivery and it's credited or replaced.
Facility Protocol
Our 4-step Florida conditioning & packing standard
Why direct-from-Florida conditioning outperforms unpurged drop-shipped feeder stock.
Florida Harvest & Intake
Sourced from clean Central & East Coast Florida freshwater habitats and graded by carapace size on arrival.
7-Day Quarantine & Hardening
Held for a minimum of seven days in remineralized, bio-filtered holding vats (GH 6–10 dGH, TDS 180–260 ppm) to complete post-harvest molts.
24-Hour Pre-Ship Purge & +10% Overpack
Fasted 24 hours prior to bagging so transit water stays free of ammonia spikes, then hand-counted twice with a minimum 10% live overpack.
