Questions, answered
What exactly is a Desk Pal?
A zero-maintenance 3D printed animal habitat for your desk — gecko, axolotl, bearded dragon, chameleon, tortoise, hermit crab, betta or sea turtle. No feeding, no tank cleaning, and hotels can't charge you extra to bring one along. Each arrives with adoption papers, an instruction sheet and an origin card. Small amount of assembly required.
Can I pick my colors?
Yes! Most pieces come in 15 colors: white, black, gray, red, dark red, pink, orange, yellow, tan, green, dark green, light blue, dark blue, purple and brown. Multi-part pieces like the snowman, tall Santa and tall pumpkin let you choose a color for each part.
Do you do custom, team or bulk orders?
Absolutely. Custom bag tags are $15 each in your team colors, and we batch print keychains, flexi animals and giveaways for events, classrooms and companies. Use the form below with your quantity, colors and date needed.
How long does an order take?
Everything is printed to order and hand-finished in Wentzville, Missouri, then shipped across the US. Checkout is handled securely through Shopify.
Are these safe for kids?
Our flexi animals, fidgets and playsets are printed in durable PLA and built for real play. Small parts mean they're best for ages 3 and up.
