I made two larger purchases from Spider Shoppe during their Black Friday sale in November 2023. Both orders added up to over 30 individual spiders, sized from 1/8 inch slings to 5+ inch adults.
ALL spiders arrived to me alive, with only one casualty: a tiny 1/8 inch H. gabonensis sling, who was alive on arrival but was just not able to handle the trip at that size unfortunately. It was the only death out of the many 1/8 to 1/4 inch slings I received, and the 4 other H. gabonensis I ordered are thriving!
A little over 2 months later, out of the more than 30 individuals purchased (excluding the H. gabonensis sling) all but one have been thriving! I recently lost one of my three D. mineirum slings but it appears to be just a failure to thrive, and/or a care problem on my end.
Point is, they've got nice, fat, healthy spiders, a large variety to choose from, and very fair prices (especially during sales)!
