Born in Utah, as a young kid, I had a fascination with the animal world. Since age 5, I have kept as pets, reptiles, arachnids, insects, birds, fish, among others, and at age 12 worked for several pet stores. In 1984, I was lucky enough to work at Zooherp, Inc. in Sandy, Utah with one of the old time greats Louie Porras. After working many years with Louie, taking care of venomous and non-venomous reptiles and arachnids, I moved from Utah to Mississippi in 1994. Realizing I had a green thumb...

Pros
  • Quick to respond
  • Excellent packaging
This is my second purchase from Kelly Swift. The first time was back in the early 2000s having purchased an A. Geniculata, and an L. Parahybana as part of my second generation of tarantula keeping, He gave me an A. Anax as a freebie. All came in the "legendary packaging' he is known for and he was quick to respond to my inquiries. This time around I purchased a T. Albopilosum and a G. Pulchripes and got an L. Parahybana as my freebie. I received the same consistent service with the well packaged and informative literature enclosed as well as quick email communication to my inquries. Great service as always, Kelly!

Purchased from Swift for the first time several weeks ago. My order was shipped very quickly (paid on the weekend,shipping Monday). The package was delayed in shipping an additional day, but with the fantastic packaging all 5 spiders arrived safely.
Highly recommended. Will certainly be a repeat customer.

Pros
  • Great selection
  • Great packaging
  • Great freebies
Cons
  • I never really heard back
Purchased a Pseudhapalopus sp. Purple and Gold, a very exciting and uncommon find. Was also interested in a freebie and sent Kelly a message that I only really like to keep dwarf species and asked if he could do anything for me. A few days later I got my order confirmation and replied saying I would be interested in Kochiana brunnipes and would pay the differences, otherwise I would just be fine with Aphonopelma hentzi, the smallest of the freebie offerings. No response. Then a day after the package shipped I was pleasantly surprised by the inclusion of K. brunnipes and a vial of pinhead crickets. Really happy with my order, and even though I had a few days of wondering what would appear in my package, I really appreciate everything Kelly did here. Lifetime customer
Phenomenal Seller

Pros
  • Incredibly secure, thoughtful packaging
  • 'Just In Case' feeders
  • Great pricing, cheaper than most for the same wonderful quality
  • Recently includes drilled starter enclosures
  • Always lots of variety
  • Vibrant, healthy tarantulas
This is the first seller I bought tarantulas from three years ago and I've been coming back ever since. I purchased two orders the last month and received enclosures for every sling plus an extra which I definitely appreciated. The care and attention to detail in every aspect of the process is impressive. My last purchase included three C. elegans, I was relieved that he included pin head crickets to start them off so I didn't have to cut mealworms into bits. Just exceptional all in all, I'm always a happy customer when dealing with him.
FANTASTIC!!!

Pros
  • Stellar service
  • Good selection
  • Fair prices
  • Great communication
  • Perfect packaging
  • Healthy slings
OMG!!! I just got my first ever slings in my first ever online order! I ordered 5 slings from Swift’s Invertebrates and got a freebie, too. Kelly was super responsive and didn’t even get annoyed with my silly questions and order changes. I even got some unexpected gifts that truly made my day, and made the beginning of this journey much easier. He gave me an amazing welcome into the T community, and brought this guy to tears of gratitude. I’ll definitely be going back for more, and highly recommend this shop!
All of the slings were packed up safely and securely and everyone arrived alive. They’re all settling into their new enclosures 😉 happily, and ready to be fed in a day or 2.
Big thanks go out to Kelly and Swift’s, and to TCC for the recommendation!
