Blue Death Feigning Beetle (Group of 3) - Fun and Easy to Care for - Live Ironclad Beetle! - BDFB - Asbolus verrucosus

Very active and gentle creatures. Came in great condition.

I was hesitant to order at first just based on my location. Since we had some warmer days left I decided to just go ahead and order the beetles. They had an estimate of Nov 15-20 for arrival and arrived on the last day of the estimation. Other people have had different experiences with shipping time so keep that in mind!The packaging wasn’t too bad, they’ve definitely seemed to have upgraded better from some of the previous reviews. I’d still keep in mind that the beetle cup isn’t shipped with protective packs or insulation. My guys came healthy and all in one piece thankfully!They’re super active and fun to watch. Overall, I was impressed with their quality considering they were purchased on Amazon. :)

The media could not be loaded. These guys arrived in great condition; they’re active and busy exploring their new home. They came in a plastic container with air holes and some substrate. That was packed inside a cardboard box. Good price too - thank you!

I was initially worried, as my beetles were scheduled to arrived from the 12th to the 17th- i bought them on the 6th, So I believe I had some reason to be concern, especially with the heat and such.I was running an errand on the 10th, and I came home to a peculiar package at my door- holes in the box at every side.I had a feeling it was beetles- but it was at the least 2 days earlier than Amazon predicted that they'd arrive!when I opened that package, and the container inside, I was extremely pleased to see that all my beetles were alive! I heard that missing pieces of limbs could happen when buying wild caught- however, each beetle was in perfect shape!they've been wonderful! if not a bit stubborn about coming onto and off of my hand. I love watching them climb and explore their tank!I even got to see one play dead(I was trying to gently guide it onto my hand- I guess I spooked them!).one last thing I want to note- they do climb perfectly fine- but I thought they'd be able to grip things a bit better than I initially thought. so- the only thing I'd say to look out for- is making sure they don't fall.This is the best thing I've ever bought for myself, and I'm looking forward to seeing these lil fellas thrive in my care, and i already know that I'll come back to buy more, once I have a proper enclosure to fit more!

I received them pretty quickly and all 3 were alive and well. Months later I still have them, they are very entertaining to watch. I was worried about receiving dead beetles since it's always risky to buy live pets online but the seller followed through and there has been zero issues.

It won't let me upload photos because I focused too much on the packaging on my last review that got taken down. But the packaging does suck for these guys. There was no newspaper keeping the cup in place in the box so the cup was getting knocked all over the place for a week. And there was no paper towel in the cup to keep the beetles from also getting knocked all over the place. But atleast they arrived alive. I just hope the seller takes more care next time.But i am happy that these guys are alive and healthy looking. They've been running all over the place carrying food around and they are just fun to watch. I definitely reccomend getting a few of these guys. An easy animal to take care of. They do well with more than 1 so getting 3 like this is reccomended. Really like these little guys.

Nice. Arrived live and continue to thrive after several months.

Super fast shipping, packed with care, and the beetles arrived perky and active! Thank you so much!
