Australian Stick Insect for Sale
Australian Stick Insect
Extatosoma tiaratum
Extatosoma tiaratum
We have spectacular Australian Stick insects for sale at excellent pricing. This harmless species has an amazing appearance, and is incapable of bites or stings. Reaching massive sizes, they consume vegetation and tend to thrive in captivity.
Females lay eggs without the presence of males. These are for sale to permitted educational facilities and entomologists only. When you buy a phasmid from us, you automatically receive our 100% live arrival guarantee.
Australian Stick Insect Care
The species Extatosoma tiaratum, sometimes referred to as Macley’s Spectre, grows as thick as man’s thumb, and as long as his hand. Scorpion-like in appearance, they are slow and totally harmless. These insects are very easy to care for in captivity. We recommend screen cages as this allows them to climb all sides of the enclosure, but glass and plastic terrariums will work as well. Provide a small shallow food dish, such as a jar lid.
Room temperature is perfect, and please mist instead of providing a water dish. Eucalyptus is their natural food, but they also consume blackberry, oak, rose, raspberry, and romaine lettuce leaves. Females lay fertile eggs without males, a process called parthenogenesis. If you blow on them, they’ll sway back-and-forth like a leaf in the wind. A very personable stick insect that can crawl around your shoulders all day long.
Shipping Your Australian Stick Insect
USPS 2-3 day priority shipping is free, regardless of the number of insects you buy. We can only ship these if you are a permitted entomologist or educational organization. Phasmid orders are shipped each Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Orders placed Wednesday through Sunday will likely ship the following Monday for the safety of the insects. Please read our shipping information page before ordering. Sorry, we do not ship internationally (U.S. only).

We offer exotic reptiles for sale online at absolute rock-bottom prices, which means we make these fascinating animals available to you affordably as pets, or even to start your own reptile breeding project. We are reptile enthusiasts who believe captive breeding is integral to the future of the market, as it not only helps protect wild herp populations, but is an incredibly rewarding experience that tends to intensify one's passion for these amazing prehistoric creatures. Whether you buy a snake, lizard, turtle, tortoise, or alligator, we are driven to provide the highest quality live reptiles for sale.
Amphibians are generally slower-moving than reptiles, and have uniquely moist skin which means they are never far from a source of water. Their life cycle is nothing short of incredible: they hatch in water, spend weeks or months in metamorphosis, then become either terrestrial or remain primarily water bound. Some salamanders even breathe through their skin! Our live amphibians for sale online include frogs, toads, salamanders, and newts. Some are huge, some are small, and virtually all are amazing to observe in captivity. When you buy amphibians from us, you can rest assured they are fully guaranteed to arrive alive and in great condition. Why not start an amphibian breeding project today?
Reptile and amphibian food should be varied, which is why we offer an array of feeder insects for sale. It's always far more cost effective to buy feeder insects in bulk, which often saves up to 70% off pet store prices. Plus, the feeders are delivered right to your doorstep. We offer live crickets for sale, as well as dubia roaches, mealworms, wax worms, nightcrawlers, and now even lizards, all at the lowest possible prices. Our reptile and amphibian feeder insects and lizards include a guarantee of live arrival.
