Steven Doud

I ordered a female A. rufa and was very satisfied with my entire experience. I will definitely be ordering more in the future and would recommend Steve to anyone looking for a tarantula.

Purhased a C.elgans MF for my MM - Steve was great to deal with and I would highly recommend him to anyone!

I was able to pick the tarantula up myself so no shipping fees. The molt was available for examination. He was very informative, not just about the tarantula I bought but about other tarantulas as well. I really appreciate the service and I'll definitely be buying from him again.

Test. Steve was a pleasure to deal with. Packaging was great. Communication was timely and the specimens were very healthy. Don't hesitate to purchase from him! Test

Purchased a MM L.nigerrimum from Steve, easy transaction, quick to respond, and great communication. Packaging of the T was excellent! A little shipping delay kept the T in shipping for a week, He arrived alive and fiesty! Hope to do business with Steve in the future, Excellent dealer!

I was searching for a male d. pentalore and was contacted by Mr. Doud through here. We conversed about the male in question and agreed on a price. He shipped him out and made sure I had a tracking number for it.

He even went out of his way to make sure I had all the information from the time the male was in his possession. Shipping was fast, animal packaged very well. Would definitely purchase from him in the future.

Purchased a female Bumba Cabocla and could not be more pleased with my purchase. He made made sure everything went accordingly through the whole process. Received her healthy and without any problems. Would make future purchases without hesitation. A+

Recently I began a thread expressing my sadness about one of my Phrixotrichus scrofa slings that died seemingly out of nowhere. As this was the first tarantula I've lost, I was pretty torn up about it. After expressing his condolences in the thread, Steve reached out to me personally saying he had a 2.5" P. scrofa female that he would be willing to send me for nothing but the cost of shipping. This was totally unexpected and incredibly generous of him, and I sent him the money for shipping. We worked out the delivery date that night.

On shipping day I received messages from Steve both by text and here on AB with both the tracking number and pictures of the TWO girls he had included: a 3" P. scrofa (an even larger female than he had originally offered ) and a surprise 3" female rcf G. rosea!

Despite several hiccups with the post office/delivery process today, my two beautiful girls got here safe and sound! Steve's communication throughout the whole process was impeccable, and the two spiders were expertly packaged. I love these two girls already. People like Steve are such a remarkable asset to this hobby, and I would not hesitate to recommend or do business with him in the future. Thank you, Steve!

I messaged Steve for a trade proposal and everything went down smoothly. The whole transaction didnt even last a day. Steve is very easy to deal with!!!

Purchased tarantulas on Saturday. Shipped Monday and delivered healthy on Tuesday. Great communication throughout. Definitely would do business with again.

Ordered a Xenesthis intermedia female from Steve. Shipped on monday, but the post office messed up and I didn't get the package till Wednesday (totally P.O. fault, nothing to do with Steve). But thanks to the excellent packing job, and his inclusion of a long lasting heat pack, the spider was totally fine. Excellent communication throughout the anxiety inducing P.O. issues. Definitely would purchase more from him.

got a chaco golden knee tarantula, purchased it tuesday and arrived friday, anyone looking to buy a spider, this user is very reliable

T was packed well and upon unpackaging was happy healthy and beautiful. Highly recommend the seller!

Got some T's locally from Steve recently, spiders were in great health and as advertised. Thanks again!

Picked up a Euathlus sp. Blue Femur and a couple Brachypelma sabulosum slings, both species I've been trying to locate for a while. I sent Steve a message and got a response quickly, I sent payment and the spiders were shipped the next day. I got them today and they look great! Very well packaged and he even threw in another sabulosum sling as a freebie. Very happy with the new additions!

Thanks again!

Steven reached out to about about his two A. seemani females. He was willing to sell them since I had a male maturing soon. He included pictures of both females and stated their last molts . I made a mistake on relaying shipping information and he was very professional in that matter (sorry again steve).

I made a transaction with Steven and it was amazing. Everything was way above par. I just love dealing with members that are above and beyond with everything. We talked and shared pics of T's for a week. I'm super happy with the prices, packaging, and specimens.

Steven is just an A+ guy. I'd buy from again anyday!

Steven Doud is an amazing seller to work with. I was able to communicate with him easily. The G. Pulchra is exactly as he described and he made sure she was safe during transportation, even though we met to pick her up. Arranging a date/ time/ location for pickup was a simple process. He was happy to explain any questions I had. He provided a molt history and her last feed date.
Really nice, great guy that clearly takes pride in all the fine details for each transaction. I could not be happier. I’m looking forward to purchasing from him again.

Thank you Steven!

I traded my MM to Steve for a B. klaasi, and also purchased a B. albopilosum. They arrived exactly when he said they would, and were packed safely. He even included another sling for free that he himself had bred last year. Good experience overall.

Thanks Steve!

Steve contacted me last month to mention that his male Avicularia metallica had matured and if I was interested. He knew I have been looking for one for quite some time, and he immediately messaged me. Who does that?! A true and passionate person who goes beyond most peoples measures. This guy. I excitingly took him up on it, and offered a trade which he agreed on. Steve and I became good friends, just from this transaction, and we continue to be. This hobby needs more caring members in it. If anyone gets a chance to work with Steve, do not turn it down. Hands down, one of the best transactions, I have ever been a part of.

Thanks again bro.
