About RM-Exotics
RM Exotics: Bringing the World of Pet Invertebrates to Life Meet RM Exotics – Passionate About the Small and Strange RM Exotics is a UK-based specialist in pet invertebrates and naturalistic enclosure supplies, with a particular focus on high-quality, captive-bred isopods. Built from a genuine love of the hobby, RM Exotics combines ethical breeding, expert knowledge and friendly support to help keepers at every level enjoy the incredible world of invertebrates. From first-time keepers to seasoned enthusiasts, RM Exotics aims to make invertebrate keeping accessible, responsible and rewarding, with healthy animals, clear information and everything needed to create beautiful, bioactive setups. Why Invertebrates Make Fascinating Pets Invertebrates are some of the most underrated pets in the animal world. They are quiet, space-efficient and often far easier to care for than many traditional pets, while still offering endless opportunities for observation and learning. Their behaviours, colours and life cycles can be truly captivating. Many species are ideal for people with limited space or time, and they can be a brilliant introduction to responsible animal keeping. With the right setup and guidance, invertebrates can thrive in naturalistic enclosures that are as attractive as they are functional. The Heart of RM Exotics: Isopod Breeding Isopods are at the core of RM Exotics. These tiny crustaceans, often known as "woodlice" or "roly-polies", are available in a huge range of colours, patterns and sizes. RM Exotics carefully breeds a variety of isopod species and morphs, focusing on strong genetics, healthy colonies and stable lines. Isopods are perfect for both display and clean-up crews in bioactive enclosures. They help break down waste, aerate the substrate and contribute to a balanced mini-ecosystem. RM Exotics offers species suited to different setups, from hardy beginners to more advanced, rare varieties. Beyond Isopods: A World of Exotic Invertebrates Alongside isopods, RM Exotics supplies a diverse selection of other invertebrates, chosen for their suitability as captive pets and their unique appeal. The range often includes: Tarantulas – From calm beginner species to more advanced old-world spiders, ideal for display enclosures. Millipedes – Gentle, slow-moving detritivores that thrive in humid, planted setups. Centipedes – For experienced keepers seeking bold, impressive predators. Snails – Including larger species that make engaging, low-noise pets. Scorpions – Striking, nocturnal invertebrates that reward careful, informed keeping. Stock may vary, but the focus remains the same: healthy, well-started animals, with honest information about their care needs and suitability. Creating Bioactive and Naturalistic Enclosures RM Exotics understands that a thriving invertebrate starts with the right environment. To support this, they offer a range of natural decorations and hardware designed to help keepers build beautiful, functional enclosures. The selection includes items such as cork bark, leaf litter, branches, seed pods and other natural decor, as well as essential reptile and invertebrate hardware. These pieces are ideal for creating bioactive and naturalistic setups that encourage natural behaviours, provide hiding spots and enrich the lives of the animals. By combining carefully chosen animals with the right substrates, decor and hardware, it becomes possible to create miniature ecosystems that are both visually stunning and easy to maintain. Care Sheets and Ongoing Support Good information is just as important as good stock. RM Exotics provides detailed care sheets on its website, covering the key aspects of husbandry for isopods and other invertebrates. Topics typically include enclosure size, substrate, humidity, temperature, diet and general maintenance. These care sheets are written in clear, straightforward language to help keepers understand exactly what their animals need. Alongside this, RM Exotics offers friendly support and guidance, encouraging responsible keeping and helping to troubleshoot common questions and challenges. By combining quality animals with reliable information, RM Exotics aims to give every keeper the confidence to look after their invertebrates properly. Growing with the Hobby – Ethically and Responsibly RM Exotics has grown from a small, personal passion project into a steadily expanding business, driven by a commitment to ethical, responsible breeding and sales. The focus is on captive-bred stock wherever possible, reducing pressure on wild populations and promoting sustainable keeping practices. As the range of species and supplies continues to grow, RM Exotics remains dedicated to high welfare standards, honest descriptions and realistic advice. The aim is not just to sell animals, but to support a community of keepers who value the health and wellbeing of their invertebrates. This approach has helped RM Exotics build a reputation as a trusted source for both animals and information, with many customers returning as their collections and interests develop.
