Tom Roberts

I purchased a female Dune Scorpion from Tom for $5 plus $20 shipping. Tom was extremely helpful in making sure that I received the smallest female sub-adult that he had, a special request that I made! Checkout was easy and Tom notified me as soon as he had shipped the packages. Tom also let me know that he would also be shipping a freebie juvenile female scorpion for free in the package (Thanks Tom that was so kind)! When the scorpions arrived, they were well wrapped with air mailers, newspaper, and a styro-foam box to protect them from the cold. Each scorpion came in a small sauce cup (like you would find in a restaurant) with extra paper towel padding the sides for them. Both were alive and looked extremely healthy! 100% please purchase from Tom, he is a remarkable seller and cares about the customer and the animals that he sells!

Got a mature female chalcodes and I got her in a weird condition due to mail being.... mail. She quickly recovered so no blame there.
I said all I could about this transaction. He definitely is not a scammer and is very fair.

My transaction with Tom was nothing but top notch! To start, his pricing is some of the best I've seen around the boards and his communication is consistent and very reliable. Tom himself is very knowledgeable and you can tell he really cares about the animals he's giving you. Packing was very secure and kept my Tarantula and Scorpion warm and they came from Arizona all the way to Michigan right now in the fall with no heat pack! They arrived beautifully and healthy and ready to go!!! Definitely don't hesitate to do business with Tom! A+ 100% Perfection!
Oh yea, he's so generous the scorpion was a freebie! What a guy

I purchased several scorpions from him. Everything was shipped very well. There was zero chance of anything getting out of its shipping container. All the scorpions came in looking great and they started feeding as soon as I put them in their new habitats. The freebies were awesome too! This was a great transaction and I will not hesitate to recommend to others and to purchase from again!

His packing alone was worth the $50... Geez DOUBLE stryro boxed!?!?!?!
Top notch transaction !!!!!

You can't go wrong with Tom!

Tom is probably my favorite western US bug dealer. He always seems to have the best stock for the best price. You won’t regret giving him your business!

Got a pair of vinegaroons and a scolopendra polymorpha + a freebie polymorpha. Everything came well packaged(best I’ve ever seen so far). Despite the colder temps and heat pack, everything came alive and well. Will definitely do business again with him.

I purchase $69 worth of invertebrates and everything came alive. I would recommend him to anyone for your Southern United States invertebrates.

All in all a very smooth purchase with easy communication and payment. Everything was as advertised, prices were very good, and the freebies were a big plus!

Tom was looking to get rid of a couple males he had and I asked for one. He was all ready to ship and I was heading out of town and I asked if he could delay shipping he had no issues with it and was ready to ship when I was. Would definitely deal with again awesome seller.

I would definitely recommend, will definitely purchase again from this dealer. Packaging was way better than every big online dealer I've bought from. So thankful that someone recommend him and this board to me! 1st class!

I messaged Tom about buying an A. chalcodes on Sunday and arrived at my door before the end of the week. Very fast to respond and very good prices. Packaging was great (styrofoam, heat pack, bubble wrap, etc)

Would definitely recommend

This was my 1st purchase via arachnoboards and it was superb.1st off Tom cares about T's. Due to the weather in my area, he held off on shipping, which was absolutely the correct thing to do. Once i did receive the T's, they were packaged up perfectly. Not only that, he also sent me a freebie which i truly appreciate. Oops...I'm ahead of myself...Tom was very patient with me and all my questions. Which for a newbie like myself, if he would have been rude. it could very well have discourage me from this hobby. Instead he did the opposite and i thank him for that.

Tom did an absolutely amazing packing job. Honestly, it may be the best I’ve ever seen. All of the scorps I ordered from showed up in great condition and he even threw in a free sculpteratus!

I will definitely be ordering from him again!

It was a pleasure to do business with Tom and "Luke Fuzzybottom," the MM Aphonopelma chalcodes I purchased from him is an absolute joy! (My AF A. chalcodes also gives 5 stars! )

Shipping was very reasonable and packaging was excellent. The tarantula arrived in excellent health and didn't even seem to have been stressed by his journey.

Thank you again!!!

Would happily do business again. Well packaged, all arrived well, shipped in a timely manner, all good for sure.

Purchased scorpions and a centipede. The communication was excellent as well as the shipping. The specimen were in great condition when I received them, alive healthy and alert.
