Pros
  • Great selection
  • Stellar packaging
  • Great communication
  • Healthy stock
Cons
  • That he sells out so fast! :)
I've purchased from Tim a couple times now, and every time the stock is absolutely tip top quality, and Tim is great to work with every time. He's always so willing to go the extra mile to make sure you get what you want, and is happy to answer questions etc which I know from experience can be a pain and time consuming! If you want really hard to find US natives, there is quite literally no better source.
Excellent service

Bought a Scolopendra aztecorum from Tim, and was thrilled to get a gorgeous, healthy animal. Easy to get info and pictures, get a particular shipping day set, communicate with in general etc etc. Great stuff!

Awesome communication and walked me through the FedEx delays (02/26/2021 - 03/4/2021) and made sure the animal arrived safe, I plan on buying again in the future!

Pros
  • Interesting selection of species
  • Great communication
  • Healthy animals
  • Couple of freebies
I ordered several different species of Diplocentrus scorplings, all at below market prices. I opted for overnight shipping even though I’m only a state away to ensure safe delivery. Shipping price was very fair. Scorplings were packed very safely in a styrofoam lined box. Each container was clearly marked with species and quantity - with a pleasant surprise of several freebies! Many more scorplings than I ordered. All were transferred to their new living quarters to settle in. The following day I dropped in some flightless fruit flies, and the little guys starting promptly catching and eating. I also put in some prekilled crickets which were consumed. All are showing that Tim takes care of his stock - very healthy animals. I’m looking forward to my next purchase from him.
Excellent Experience

Pros
  • Rare Selection
  • Price
  • Animal-Safety Centric
  • Communicative
Purchasing from Tim was an excellent experience. He had some less common Aphonopelma I had to jump on, some of which were even captive bred. Everyone arrived safely, thanks to Tim coordinating around a cold snap we received in my area immediately after purchasing. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on his stock.

Pros
  • rare selection
  • excellent prices
  • fantastic communication
  • flexible shipping options
  • flexible shipping dates
  • great packaging
  • healthy specimens
I reached out to Tim again to see if he had any more Paloma group dwarfs or Aphonopelma gabeli still in stock, since he has the good stuff and my last order with him was so pleasant. Although dwarf species that I didn't already have were unavailable, he did have some amazing specimens from the Marxi species group, as well as Aphonopelma gabeli at a very good price. I've wanted A gabeli for ages, so I started with that and compulsively added A peloncillo, A catalina, and after a slight nudge, A madera (because why not).

Tim shipped out my order yesterday as he said he would, and all specimens arrived today, packed well and very healthy. They are all gorgeous! I've housed them and will feed them later today after work.

Pros
  • Fantastic communication
  • the tarantulas themselves
  • everything else
Cons
  • none whatsoever
I made a purchase for the first time from Tim and I'm ashamed of the fact that I waited this long to do so. Anyway. His communication was superb, even when he had other things that were vastly more important, he still took time to make sure the purchase went smoothly.

There was an unfortunate death of one specimen I had originally ordered, which was NO fault of his own, and Tim was nice enough to fill me in on the situation and gave me two options, a refund, or something else from the price list, I went for another species obviously. If you have a passion for US Aphonopelmas, Tim is the guy you should be going to, as he has quite a variety.

Now for the packing and quality: everything arrived alive and well, so that right there should be proof that his packing was very good. The individual specimens were all feisty and active.

Would I order from Tim again? Absolutely, without hesitation.

Pros
  • Sexed Scorpions
  • Great price
  • Inexpensive shipping
Purchased a total of 5 scorpions. They arrived in great condition even with the two day shipping. Was cool to be able to order an adult sexed trio and pair of scorpions that aren’t readily available.

  • Knowledgeable
  • Great prices
  • Huge variety
  • Professional packaging
I ordered some scorpions from Triprion (although it was tough to decide what to select from his huge variety) and they shipped quickly. He was nice enough to send me sexed pairs, all of which were professionally packed and healthy. I would highly recommend this seller and wouldn’t hesitate to order again!
Wow, superb seller!!!

Tim was a pleasure to deal with. I was blown away by his selection and prices. I figured it was a long shot that he’d have 20+ of a particular species I was looking for but he came through. His communication was quick and concise and he watched the weather at my location very closely to come up with a plan as far as a shipping date was concerned. Looking forward to buying from Tim again. Thanks!

Pros
  • Prices are incredible for what Tim offers, he responds to every question I shot at him and was very respectful and kind.
Cons
  • Sadly one of my tarantulas died during shipping which I believe was due to the T molting during the transit. The death of the tarantula was NOT AT ALL, due to Tim's mishandling of the shipping or packing and I will definitely buy from Tim again in the future.
Great, transparent dealer who has INCREDIBLY GREAT PRICES. Tim replied to questions upon questions with great respect and kindness. He is direct with what he offers and his prices are honestly unbeatable.
