Gottarantulas (Jason) had arranged with me to replace a couple of Curly Hair slings from a previous order that ended up not surviving. I at the time wanted to purchase 2 OBT slings at 1.5" to go with the shipment. I sent over $56 through PayPal. He stated he was out of town and would "likely" be able to ship them Monday when he returned home. Thinking he was an honest, legitimate seller, I ended up with an order of $156 with him. I wanted 7 of the OBT slings to go with the Curly Hairs that didn't survive the last trip. His ad here on Arachnoboards stated he had around 18 OBT's at the time. Shortly after sending the money, he took down his entire pricelist! I sent numerous messages to him with no response. He has appeared online and ignored my inquiries about my payments to him. I have filed a dispute with PayPal to try and recover the money that he took from me and he has ignored those requests. Avoid gottarantulas (Jason), unless you want this same thing to happen to you, possibly worse! I thought at first maybe his communication was just a bit faulty and needed improvement. No, this guy is a complete fraud!
*And this is no knock against Justin, he is most definitely entitled to his opinion in the context of a classified review, more power to him. If he took issue with said transaction, by all means note it here in the review section......what I take issue with is his characterization of this transaction being a scam, when of course there was not.
I sent numerous messages to you, Jason. I waited. No response. I allowed 4 days to go by before I initiated a PayPal dispute. We have been talking about shipping the replacements since May the 4th!
In addition to not ever receiving the stated tarantulas, I had to wait until today, 5/22/21, for PayPal to close the case to get the rest of my money back. This was after failed attempt to show me at all that he would follow through with the "promise" that I would be refunded. He needed to return home from his trip, vacation, whatever you want to call it, and sort through my transaction and those of others. However, that never did happen. PayPal closed the case because Jason couldn't conduct himself like a civil human being he claims to be. His communication is terrible and his customer service skills are something he needs to work on also. Hearing it through the grapevine, I'm not the only one Jason has done this to. Watch out unless you want this to happen to you.

I purchased a lot of 5 B. albopilosum slings from Jason. The only real downside of the whole deal was that he was on vacation when I sent the payment and couldn't ship until he got home. But that's really not an issue. I would definitely recommend him and will definitely buy from him in the future.
Quick, reasonable shipping. Great communication and very informative. Tarantula was packaged extremely well and included a cool pack and plenty of insulation.
Purchased a C. marshalli juvie. The seller responded to my messages very fast. Made the transaction seamless and had the tarantula to my door within two days of completing the purchase.
Throughout the entire process Jason was very quick to respond which is always a plus. The three Psalmos that I bought were at probably the cheapest price point you could find on the net. Also the packing was top notch. All in all this was a great deal and I would recommend him to anyone looking for Tarantula's.
All the T's came alive and well. I would not hesitate to buy from him again.
Even though two slings were misidentified he was ready to make it right shortly after he was notified.
Cons
Wanted N. incei (gold) received two beautiful N. incei olives by mistake. Jason made it right by me.
Thanks much for working it out. Jason was wonderful to deal with. He was right on top of any issues that arose. I have 4 healthy slings two A. versicolor and two N. incei olives. I will purchase again from Jason when the Items I'm looking for show up on his list. Buy with confidence.
Great packaging
Cheap
Beautiful T's
Healthy T's
Open to reasonable negotiations

Fantastic! Really happy with my 3" P Cambridgei who threat poses if I even touch his enclosure but won't bite the tongs, paint brush, or anything haha. He just cowards away. And the 2" C. Marshalli has beautiful patterns and for here acting very sluggish and fat but after I let it alone over night it made a burrow and webbed the top so hopefully it'll molt for me soon. Overall super happy with this purchase
This review is late because we were discussing turning my purchase into a retroactive trade and I didn't want to review until the transaction was completed. Then I totally forgot about it. SORRY!
The tarantulas arrived on time and as advertised. They were all healthy and active upon arrival and the pricing was great. Mea culpa for not reviewing earlier!
Great price for a sexed female, good shipping, great communication,
Cons
None
I purchased a female p reduncas from him and she is doing great and eating well. She came in great shape and ate the next day. Would defenitely buy from again
The selection of Jason's tarantulas were a good variety to choose from. The sizes of the specimens I received were bigger than anticipated. He shipped on the day as he promised and the animals were well fed and appear very healthy. I noticed that I ordered from him years ago and I'm glad that I chose to buy from him as a return customer. Thumbs up!
Great price
Healthy T
Good communication
Awesome packaging
Cons
None
I got the most perfect P. smithi from Jason. Lol I forget when I actually bought her, but he held her for me until we both felt comfortable with the weather. His prices are on point also!
My new baby is literally perfect <3
We purchased multiple spiders and are very pleased with them all! There was a slight hiccup in communication about the timeframe for shipping, but it was apologized for and all worked out fine! The Ts arrived well packed, clearly labeled, and in perfect health! The prices were also awesome!
Great communication, healthy T sexed w/o additional charge, packed well, mailed on my schedule
Cons
None
I really can't say enough wonderful things about this seller. Kind, respectful, prompt communication. A beautiful, healthy, sexed, juvenile T (without the female rates). Was able to give me options on shipping and worked with my availability to have someone home to receive. And packed very well. Would buy from again and recommend.
Awesome seller, the packaging was very good and I received my OBT in no time was very excited to receive it and to see it moving around like nothing. Would easily purchase from again!
