Very happy with my new tarantulas. Joe sent pictures first and was super responsive. I requested a slight shipping delay and he was happy to accommodate. I’m sure I’ll be ordering again.

Another great transaction with Joe! I'm super super happy with both Haplopelma slings, which already rearranged their enclosure to their preference, and my Ybyrapora diversipes who give me all sorts of zoomy entertainment, fulfilling my need for all things Aviculara (even if they aren't Avics anymore they still fool me lol)
Shipping on Joe's part is always top notch, I've never had a doa.
The only downside is how many cool T's he offers, my boyfriend set a limit and I've blown past that. I might as well make it a T of the month purchase with him if I ever expect to get all the ones I want!
😊
Thanks Joe for being a reliable staple of this community!

Met up with Joe today and purchased 5 tarantulas from him. Communication was excellent. Confirmed stock, sizes, and price in the morning and he had them ready for me after lunch. He allows for local pick-up which is always a plus. All of his tarantulas were a good size, healthy, and well-fed. I've been shopping online for a few weeks and can say that he has very reasonable prices for many of the hard-to-find Ts. At the time of pick-up, he took to the time to open each container and show me each T so that I would know what I was getting. Stand-up guy overall and I certainly look forward to buying more from him in the future. Couldn't be happier!!! :cool:

Pros
  • Very communicative
  • Incredibly fast turnaround
  • Great packaging
I had heard great things about Joe, went to check out his selection and was pleasantly surprised by the variety of species, uncommon ones I don't see with other breeders often, if at all. The prices were great, I picked up 2 slings that arrived healthy, despite a slight delay entirely because of FedEx. I purchased from him on Tuesday afternoon and had my spiders in hand 2 days later, which is unbelievably fast. I will be checking his updated lists on a fairly frequent basis from now on and absolutely plan on doing more business with him. I cannot recommend Joe enough

I received 6 new species and it was an overall great experience. Communication was amazing! Answered texts very promptly and when there was a slight delay in shipping (FedEx fault, not Joe’s) Joe was in constant communication and provided updates throughout the whole process. Everyone arrived safe and healthy and they were packaged very professionally. Will definitely buy again and recommend to others!

Joe is a great person to purchase high quality inverts from. After a little haggling, he hooked me up with an awesome deal on some rare jumping spiders. I fully recommend him and I will purchase from him again.

First time buying from joe and it was a breeze, certainly wont be my last. He responded to my inquiry super fast and had my Ts on the way within 24 hours of payment, they arrived super healthy and full of life. He seemed to have any species you could want readily available at super decent prices, I couldnt find a stirmi cheaper anywhere. I am definitely planning on becoming a repeat customer, can't wait to see what he has available in the future. Thanks again Joe!

This is actually my second time buying from Joe, and the experience was just as good as the last time. When I messaged him about the spiders I wanted, he got back to me within the hour and even sent pics of the spiders next to a ruler for accurate sizing. His communication was excellent, and my order was shipped immediately. Although FedEx lost my box for a day (their fault, not his), the spiders arrived safe, sound, and lively due to the excellent packing job. Joe communicated with me throughout the whole process, so I never had any worries. The prices were fantastic and the slings are doing great. I will definitely be buying from him again in the future.

I’ve come back to Joe again & again. I can’t stress enough what a great guy he is. My Ts have always been packed perfectly. Joe is flexible about meeting times, texts me back immediately, and and is consistently the best dealer I’ve worked with.

You will not go wrong dealing with Joe!
Hes got a huge selection of Ts to choose from and he will respond to your messages quickly. I just did a local pick up with him and he was awesome to talk to about tarantulas and the hobby itself because he’s got so much knowledge on the subject. Not only did I get all three Ts that I asked for in great condition, but he also gave me a freebie!

This is definitely the man to go to if you’re interested in purchasing tarantulas.

Another flawless transaction with Joe. I've met up with him locally many times to make arachnid purchases; every time I'm perfectly happy with the purchase experience and the quality of the specimen. Thanks for the freebie!

Pros
  • He has a great selection of tarantulas/slings
  • Response quickly
  • Friendly and great knowledge
Cons
  • 1.5 hour away from me but so worth the drive!!!
Joe is great he help me find the gem I have always wanted and she’s a confirmed female Aphonopelma mooreae!!! She’s beautiful even as a sling. He didn’t have any at the moment but he looked around and was able to make my dream come true. What I like the most even when I was on my way stuck in traffic he was communicating with me and brought a few Ts with him and did not pressure me to buy and guess what happen I ended up coming home with 4 Ts will continue to buy from him . So if u want high quality Ts hit him up and I’m telling he will not let you down!!!

Worked with joe for a few years now. All of his tarantulas are gorgeous, and healthy! I really really recommend Joe and I’m fortunate enough to live close so I can easily shoot him a text and drive relatively quickly to go get my new spider(s) ☺ Honest guy and very fair! Top notch!
