Hello World!

We are finally online Some of our regular visitors have been telling me for years that we need a website. It only took a global pandemic and a year of no visitors for us to slow down and figure it out!

This past year has been a strange one for The Cryptidery (and for everyone else, I’m sure). We’re all still here taking care of the creatures in our sanctuary We’ve got a few new arrivals that I’m sure we’ll be sharing with you soon. It seems like it might still be a while before we can have visitors, though . So this website will be a way for us to stay connected with you, and share with a much wider audience than our little local community!

We’re going to have some contests
You can report strange creatures you might have seen around
I’m sure Jose will be sharing some of the adventures he goes on to capture these creatures
We might even share some photos, if Mohammed can get my old camera working

Parts of this site will be open to the public. But there will be exclusive content for Patrons. We have to keep the lights on around here somehow!

Here’s what Patrons get:

Downloadable info cards These are just like the ones you’ve seen at our enclosures if you’ve ever come to visit. They give a bit of information about one of our creatures and have a drawing (done by me ) that you can colour if you wish. These will be released monthly on the 15th.
If you get a mailed subscription, that month’s card will also be printed and mailed to youFor a little more, I can print out and mail the month’s posts to you, too. It might even come with a couple of extras, maybe a note from one of our caretakers or some stickers… we’ll see what I can fit in an envelope

You can sign up now, but we’ll be counting May as your first month. The first info card will be mailed at the beginning of May and will be available online on May 15th, but I’ve added a free colouring page of our logo that you can download now Check out the downloads link at the top of the page

Feel free to comment or e-mail us if you have any other suggestions for the site! We’re still new to this, and I haven’t spent a lot of time on the internet. Maybe you know something I don’t! There’s a contact form on the home page.

All of us here at the Cryptidery hope you are safe and that this past year hasn’t been too hard on you and your family
