Brian is just great in all ways. He answered all my questions, was very responsive, the group I received is beautiful and in great shape. He even threw in some badass freebies! I couldn't recommend him more. I will be calling on him again for sure!

Pros
  • Uncommon species in the U.S. Good communication
I just completed a transaction with Brian and have nothing but good things to say. He provides quick communication, willing to work with you on shipping dates, and the tarantulas he sells come well packed and are obviously well cared for. He knows his spiders too and it is always a pleasure talking with him. I have no complaints and will definitely be buying from him again.

Pros
  • Very thoughtful seller, great spiders, excellent packaging
Brian was great to work with. Purchased two pairs for future breeding as well as a MM for one of my current females. This guy cares about his spiders as well as the relationship he has with those who do business with him! Will not hesitate to purchase from this hobbyist again in the future!

I had the chance to meet with Brian and purchased several species from him. I received everything from small 1/4 inch slings to confirmed females. Every one of the T's I got looks nice and plump and in great health. He's also an amazing nice guy. We have talked on several occasions and his care for tarantulas and the hobby is supreme. I've actually already been back to him for another purchase and will haunt his for sale threads until my wallet is empty. Thank you for everything Brian.

You can't go wrong ordering from Brian! He had some extremely unusual species for excellent prices. I highly recommend giving him a try. The spiders arrived in great shape and with some really clever packing. Thank you very much for these beauties!

Pros
  • Everything about Brian describes perfection. He utilizes business ethic very well. Packing, communication, specimens....everything perfect!
Cons
  • Nothing!
Brian and I completed a trade for 3:5 of his everetti slings (I purchased the other 2). I received my slings today (all 5) and they are super healthy and exactly as described! His packing was very professional. He kept constant communication throughout the past week or so (couldn't ship due to cool weather & no heat packs). When Brian ordered heat packs, he ordered some for me (FREE OF CHARGE), as well and had them shipped to my house because I was out of heat packs, too. By the time our heat packs arrived, it was already warm enough to ship without them! He is such a great person and full of consideration for others. He cares about the Tarantulas well being more than the idea of just having them in his possession. That says a lot. He is very patient and kind. I am so glad to have gotten acquainted with Brian. I only hope that there are more people like him in this hobby and that I get the pleasure of meeting them, just as I did Brian. True passion for this hobby describes Brian through and through. Thank you, friend. ;)

  • Great communication, packing was superb, and the over all experience was flawless. Works with great rare species.
Over all great experience. Packing was top notch, easy to get in touch with. Friendly, I can talk spiders with this guy and get nothing else done all day lol. Works with many cool rare species. Had my box held at FedEx for pick up with no problem, looking forward to working with him more in the future. The best of the best.

  • Communication, information, packing, shipping. All Perfect.
Cons

Brian and I recently came to an agreement on a breeding loan.
The loan consisted of him loaning me a mature female H. pulchripes to breed with my MM. I loan him a penultimate male P. metallica, to breed with his female. Both loans for 50/50.

It's hard to find someone actually willing to send a mature female of such rarity to someone else for breeding. This guy stands by his word, more than most. Having someone like this in the hobby is a huge contribution. I'm glad to have dealt with him, keep dealing with him, and glad to have built a great friendship with him as well.
Thanks again my man. looking forward to what we can come across in the near future!

Pros
  • Communication, Informative, Understanding, Catering
Cons
  • Winter Weather(not his fault)
Bought an assortment of T's from Brian. Was an excellent experience with even better packaging.I've only death with a few sellers that package up to par, and he's added to that very short list. T's were as advertised, and at the quality that I was hoping for. This is my first time dealing with Brian but will not be the last.
Cheers Brian and thanks again!
