Joe Rossi

I received my 2nd order from Joe and it was another seamless transaction.

I messaged joe about a weeks or 2 ago that i would like to purchase some Ts and i would be picking them up at the bug fair in la. When went to joes booth i received my Ts and he threw in a freebie which was awesome. The Ts were all in great condition. Im looking foward to making another with joe again in the future.

Met at the Anaheim Reptile Super Show where I was able to buy a Hapalopus sp Columbia Large as planned. After a few days the tarantula is healthy and adjusting well. It was a delight to have any of my questions answered promptly and professionally from him. I would highly recommend and do plan on future purchases from Joe.

Absolutely excellent service. Responds fast, very friendly, very healthy specimens, great communication, packaged incredibly well, best prices. Definitely my new go to guy for T’s. Service from beginning to end was absolutely terrific! Definitely must buy from him!

This transaction was very swift. Joe was very attentive throughout the order process, and took the time to answer qustions after order was received. I would definitely do business with him again.

Overall positive energy and easy to talk to and very knowledgeable of the trade. He was willing to be flexible on prices for multiple quantity purchase. Its was cool to finally meet at the bug fair and acquire some rare Ts. Will definitely do business again.

joe was the only person in the states who had the sumatran tiger tarantulas. I had been looking for this species for a long time. I think I previously asked if he could get them. Well he got them and shipped them out ASAP. Definitely will be purchasing in the future.

Another great purchase from Joe! I got a couple versicolor and a dwarf tarantula. Joe was quick to respond to texts and helped me pick a 3rd T to reach his minimum. He even texted while packing to ask if it was okay one was missing a leg. And sent a picture. I didn’t mind at all and I appreciated his honesty as I’ve had many people not say anything about a missing leg.

It’s been about a week and all are settled in and eating. The versicolors are bigger than I expected and just stunning. Really happy

Joe was very helpful with his experienced advice as well as flexible with meeting me after I messed up my dates. Just got home and spiders seem to be doing well. I would purchase from Joe again and most likely will. He is a great connection for those in SoCal, driving distance from LA and SD and has fantastic selection of spiders.

Joe is a great seller that communicated with me every step of the way and answered all the little questions I had before purchasing. He helped me get my hands on several species that were very high on my wish list and gave me a good deal on them to boot! His packaging job was excellent and all the animals were quite healthy upon arrival and were quick to settle into their new homes. I would gladly do business with him again, and look forward to doing so in the future.

Thanks again Joe!

If are located in SoCal and looking for someone who knows the hobby, well look no further. Joe has a great selection of Ts to choose from. I purchased slings from Joe and right from the start great at communicating. He Is very knowledgeable about Ts and I will definitely be buying more often from Joe.

I have ordered many spiders from Joe and this is a review much needed and over due. His selection is the best there is out there period. He knows his stuff and is professional in every way. He has great communication and packing! He is the go to dealer if you want quality T’s from a professional in the hobby. Thanks again Joe!
Look forward to doing more business in the very near future!

amazing prices, awesome selection, amazing quality of animals...I've gotten awesome animals before and will definitely order in the near future!

I had the privilege of meeting with Mr. Rossi to buy some slings. I got to our agreed upon meeting place late due to traffic and my ignorance. Joe was cool about it--at least I hope he was....

Yes...beautiful animals at a better-than-fair price. But they were less important than his wealth of knowledge about, well, everybody and everything in arachnoculture. We talked until our meeting spot closed, and I came away with some fine slings and an education--as well as serious scuttlebutt--from Joe's centuries in the exotherm world.

He's a good and honest guy.
His ts are top-notch.
He knows everything and he shares what he knows.

Imagine a walking arachnoboards with a better sense of humor and none of the neckbeard elitism.

Highest possible recommendation.

Completed another transaction with Joe and I couldn’t be happier!!! We met up and I picked up 6 T’s on my wanted list. As always I’m thankful and will definitely do business with Joe in the near future. Thank you Joe!!

Bought three P. metallicas and two P. pulcher from Joe. We agreed to ship Thursday with overnight delivery to arrive Friday. There was a shipping delay and the arrival date got pushed all the way to Tuesday (holiday Monday). So Joe called up FedEx and filed a claim and was in contact with me and FedEx both continuously throughout the process to make sure that they arrived as soon as possible. Joe made it happen that the Ts got to me on Saturday (direct home delivery) by noon. Joe is a fantastic dealer to order from and will fight for your Ts safe travel. I very much appreciate that he did this as they might not have survived if left in transit for the rest of the long weekend. And he threw in a freebie! T. gigas can’t wait to see my gigas all grown up. Thank you again Joe, you’re the best.

Got 3 more Ts from Joe last week!

For one of my new additions, I wasn’t 100% sure which species I wanted, so I gave him some “wish list” parameters, and he suggested the X. intermedia. I thought I was looking for a unicorn, but this T checked every one of my boxes, and he had small juveniles available.

I also picked up a larger juvie T. albo, and a B. horrida sling. Everyone is settled in and doing wonderfully. My T. albo is out and about all the time and has a great feeding response - it’s extremely chill until it sees that dubia in its enclosure. The B. horrida is doing normal sling things down under its cork hide. As he expected, my X.intermedia is molting as I type this.

I really appreciate all Joe’s knowledge, and I’m sure I’ll be seeing him again soon. I don’t see a reason why I’ll ever buy my Ts from anyone else again. Thanks, Joe!

Another seamless transaction with Joe. I can’t recommend him enough!!

For several months, Joe has been working on tracking down an incredibly rare species for me. Joe provided updates regularly, letting me know that he was on it and would eventually come through. Well, he came through this week and delivered on a promise he'd made months ago, and I couldn't be more pleased. In addition to delivering the unicorn, Joe also sold me some of the newest, most desirable species in the hobby - I can count on Joe to always have new, exciting species available at reasonable prices. Getting new species that don't have well documented care requirements isn't for everyone, though, so Joe always has a great assortment of tried and true hobby staples available, as well - he literally has something for everyone who is interested in keeping tarantulas, whether they're experienced hobbyists looking for a new challenge or breeding project, or a first-time owner looking to get their feet wet.

I'll also mention how well packaged the shipment was. Temps in my area have been over 100 degrees F every day for several weeks in a row, and I'm pretty sure it's not much cooler where Joe is. The slings were perfectly packaged to travel in these extreme temperatures, and all of them were alert and active when I unpacked them. In fact, I've never received a shipment from Joe that wasn't packaged exactly as it needed to be to ensure the safety and well being of the specimens inside.

I've said most of this in previous reviews for Joe, but that's the beauty of it - Joe is reliable, fair and honest, and just a pleasure to work with, and that hasn't changed one bit! As always, feel free to message me directly if I can answer any questions...

I have been dealing with Joe for a few years now, and every transaction has been incredible!! You can’t go wrong dealing with Joe! He will always find a way to make you happy! Thanks for delivering my package personally to my work!! Thanks Again!
