Pros
  • Great prices
  • Communication
  • Solid packaging
  • Healthy spiders
This was my second time buying from Scott/MobBurrow.

Last year I got a 3 pack of Ybyrapora diversipes and they were all in excellent shape, so I made another purchase. I bought the 10 lot of 1" versicolor because the price was great. Scott was great about keeping in touch with me. The shipping date had to change by a day, but he contacted me and it worked for my schedule. He sent me 12 and mentioned that he was before I got the package, which I appreciate because putting together arboreal sling enclosures takes a little more effort than a terrestrial. Everyone arrived lively. Shipping price was low for me because he's in my general region. Would definitely recommend and purchase from again. This is the only person who seems to have ybyrapora on a regular basis right now. You won't be disappointed.

Pros
  • Awesome communication and very accessible. Spiders were better than anticipated! Good Prices!
Cons
  • None.
Scott and I agreed on a trade for a MM of mine for some sling/juveniles of his. This was my first time shipping a package so he gave me some pointers and his vote of confidence. He answered my calls, emails, and texts to make sure I felt comfortable with the details of the trade. I received some absolutely amazing specimens in return and thankfully, my MM arrived to him alive and well. After some recent not so great experiences and DOAs with other dealers through Arachnoboards, I was a little hesitant and skeptical to buy from anyone other than the biggest names in the bizz, but Scott at Mob Burrow changed that for me. The packaging was top notch and included some extra attention to detail that showed his love for the hobby. The sling containers were display vials wrapped together with spider web tape... totally awesome. The box included a foam cooler that was top notch and the spiders were much bigger than I expected and totally worth the cost. I might even purchased a couple more. Scott and I are working out the details of another trade and my first experience totally solidified that. I will certainly be working with this guy in the future.

Echoing what everyone else has written, Scott was excellent to work with and has great slings! Ordered 3 C. Versicolor slings 4 months ago, they came very healthy and still going strong (2 molts since arrival). Would definitely buy from him again.

Pros
  • Excellent: communication, shipping, selection of healthy Ts and a cool seller name!
Cons
  • Doesn't live in California...lol
Scott made a FS post that included C. versicolor slings. I hit him up immediately (I've had bad luck acquiring them at a reasonable price). When it was all said and done, I ended up with the following:

1x Hapalopus sp columbia LG 2.5"
2x Caribena versicolor 1.5"
1x Lasiodora parahybana 4.75"
a freebie - Y. diversipes

The shipping cost was a little more than I'm normally willing to pay, but as they say "You get what you paid for". Sent payment and he provided me with a tracking number the next day. We did have a minor issue with the shipping, but that's more of a USPS issue...which was easily resolved. The packaging was excellent, especially the small amac style containers that the Ts came in. That alone makes the shipping worth the price. All the Ts seem happy and healthy...which overall is the most important requirement.

I wouldn't hesitate to buy from Scott in the near future, and you shouldn't either!

The Ts arrived packed well and snugly, and were in amazing condition. The shipping was fast and came with a heat pack that was still warm when it got here. I love my new spiders!

Ordered a couple Ts from Scott, of which all arrived healthy. Cool pack included! You can tell he is in this for the sake of the hobby and not the benjamins. Will definitely order from again in the future!

Thanks Scott for being so patience with me and allow me to back out from a trade we have previously agreed on. He is always so pleasant and polite.
I then decided to purchase a P Metallica from him. The T is absolutely beautiful and healthy. I will definitely buy from Scott again without any hesitation.
A definite recommend for everyone!

Had been looking for a versicolor sling for a while so was happy to see MobBurrow with some 1"+ available for an excellent price compared to the bigger dealers. Service was superior all-around and included a freebie offer - I would not hesitate to buy from Scott again.

After reading all of the good reviews on this site, I decided to pull the trigger on some slings. Can’t say enough good things about the whole process. Communication was great throughout. The animals arrived on time and were packed amazingly well. Every sling was active and VERY healthy looking (fat as hell!). The fact that my entire experience with Scott was this satisfactory the WEEK AFTER Christmas is definitely a testament to how much he cares about both his customers and his animals.

I will definitely be ordering again soon.
