Welcome to Bugs and Beings!
My name is Amanda Barden and I am passionate about working with exotic pets such as isopods, beetles, scorpions, tarantulas and more. It all started with my pet crested gecko named Charlie, and since then I have dedicated my life to keeping and breeding these amazing animals. I live in Eau Claire, Wisconsin and vend at several expos, where I meet like-minded individuals who share my enthusiasm for exotic pets.
