Has really good prices and gave me a military discount because I’m a veteran. Shipped the day I requested and the package was very secure for the slings. Kept in constant contact with me and also wanted to make sure the slings arrived safe and well.

I originally ordered a P. sazimai female from John2097, she went into a "death curl" prior to shipping. John let me know this, and was kind enough to offer a sexed female B. klassi or my money back as an alternative. I opted for the B. klassi, and also chose to add to my order a h sp Columbia large 1''. Both arrived alive and are seemingly doing well. THANK YOU JOHN!

Pros
  • Responds quickly and is a good honest guy to buy from.
Cons
  • None
I purchased 3 T's from John. He responded very quickly to my messages. His prices were great. He shipped my package out quickly and it was well packed. Unfortunately one of the T's died in transit. I do not know why, as they were well packed and it was a mature T. One of those things I guess. John made it right promptly refunded the cost of the DOA.
I don't blame him at all and he stood by his LAG. I can't ask for anything more.
I absolutely would buy from him again and would be happy to do it!
Thanks John!!

Pros
  • This is my first pet tarantula and i was extremely happy. I had a hard time trying to find a GBB this time of year, and he had a sling for only 60 bucks! Super affordable!
  • Excellent communication! Stayed in touch with me the entire time, even though I'm sure i bothered him quite a bit.
  • Great packaging! Box lined with styrofoam, packed with packing peanuts, tarantula vile wrapped in brown paper with some breathing holes in the vile, T wrapped inside. T was 100% safe
Cons
  • I do not have any cons with this seller. Everything went far better than my expectations!
Amazing seller, as stated in my pros/cons. I ordered a C. Cyaneopubescens as a 1.5 sling. It was in excellent condition, extremely gorgeous, was easy to get into its enclosure, and it immediately began exploring for where to web. It was extremely quick and was packaged excellently. I would (and most likely will) purchase from this seller in future months. I can share a photo of the little friend I got too! Its name is Nimhe

I went on AB to find a MM Balfouri and found Johns add right away. I made contact and within minutes we had a deal and the MM was on the way. When he arrived , he popped right out of the vial , alert and in perfect condition.

Thanks John,
Dave
