Pros
  • great communication
  • Amazing prices
  • healthy specimens
  • very accommodating
  • Packaging was perfect
Cons
  • none
I can't possibly say enough about the service I receive when ordering from him, communication is 110%, I mean really goes above and beyond! Was patient and worked with me to make sure i was comfortable receiving the package, which meant holding off for a few weeks. That really goes a long way! Not to mention his prices, are you kidding me! I got 3 Poecilotheria Regalis for less than $100! That crazy. Everything arrived healthy, and settled in quickly. Can't wait till he has something else I'm interested in, ordering with is beyond stress free!
Thank You!

  • Packed excellently, very helpful, contacted me within 30 minutes of delivery to make sure they arrived safely, slings arrived healthy and active
Cons

cold blood was kind enough to offer me 2 G. pulchripes slings for $15 shipped, they arrived healthy and active. He also included a couple deli cups and some moss! To top it all off, he checked in 30 minutes after the delivery to make sure they arrived safely. Wonderful seller and wonderful guy, he genuinely cares about the hobby and Ts themselves, would definitely recommend!

Dennis saw that I mentioned wanting a T species and approached me with an offer. He had excellent prices and I ended up buying two species from him. He shipped out the same day. The Ts came in well packaged and all were healthy and responsive.

It was a great experience and I can't wait to buy from him again.

I had a great experience working with Cold Blood! Was able to meet him at his house and really enjoyed seeing his awesome collection! He keeps a tight ship and really cares for his T's! I will definitely be staying in touch and will, I'm sure, buy from him again!

I got a P. Regalis and two N. Chromatus.

  • Prices are amazing, very knowledgeable, open availability, and willing to help.
I found his ad on Craigslist and contacted him. He was open to meet with me and even took the time to show me his collection. I bought one Nicaraguan Curly hair and one Honduras and he even threw in one extra! He’s such a nice and knowledgeable guy and I’ll be going to him for all my tarantula needs from now on. 11/10 would recommend.

Pros
  • Dealer's consideration of safety for animals; Communication
Purchased an LV from dealer at the beginning of January. Due to the weather in his part of the world it was several weeks before shipping could safely take place. Dealer did not cash my check until shipping. He was in regular contact with me during the wait period. Upon shipping he initiated contact to ensure safe delivery. This dealer is not just a seller, he will provide husbandry suggestions gleaned from obviously a great deal of experience. He is also quite generous. I had to ask him NOT to send three Nhandus as freebies due to my space limitations. I asked he just send one. He sent two (after asking). I am not one to throw out the five star ratings to make someone feel good, or out of laziness, Dennis deserves them across the board. Do business with the man!

I ordered from Dennis on monday 5 N. Chromatus and 1 B. Vagans. Great deal I just couldn't pass it up, The USPS lost our package and Dennis talked with me and I kept him posted until they got here (all safe with great packaging). Absolutely no complaints.

  • Lovely avic, great communication, quick transaction
Cons
  • None
cold blood is a cool dude.
I was very happy to purchase an avic from him. He answered my questions, was prompt, packaged it well, and the whole process was both easy and enjoyable. This is the second T I've ordered from him, both experiences have been very positive and both Ts were really healthy and lovely.

I will always check with him first before buying a T elsewhere because I know it is coming from a good place and a good person.

Pros
  • CB provided excellent communication at all steps, packaging excellent. His captive bred slings were in excellent health
Cons
  • None
Succinctly, I'd buy again.

CB is a long time T owner. His animals came to me in excellent health, with plump abdomens too! I'd rank his stock right up there with other breeders I bought from previously.

I even received some freebies as well!

He was able to provide the last feeding date and what the slings ate as well.

The package arrived on time.
Awesome Experience

Great communication throughout the transaction. T’s were the advertised size and amazing specimens. Packaging was fantastic and one of the easiest unboxing and transfers I’ve done. I’d say the bang for the buck is great and then some; I couldn’t be more thrilled with my T’s and the experience. Thanks cold blood!
