Tim B (Triprion)

This is my second purchase from Triprion, and I am pleased with my purchase. He has great attention for detail when it comes to shipping the animals. We waited for a time when the weather would offer the best shipping conditions. The box was labelled correctly and shipped later in the day to avoid the heat. Speaking as an experienced shipper myself, I can attest to the care he takes in packaging the animals. From the insulation, cold pack, and the packaging itself, everything was done very professionally. The animals themselves were in great health overall, no missing parts, and were accurately described as to sizing.

Very responsible seller with good attitude and great product.

Having recently ordered a centipede from Tim for the first time, I am extremely pleased with every aspect of my transaction with him. He is well-organized, courteous, quick to communicate, and most importantly, reliable. He not only delivered on my centipede order, but delivered a truly healthy and lively centipede. He is the real deal, and I won't hesitate to order from him again. For anyone out there concerned about the risks associated with online transactions with sellers whom you don't know, I completely understand, but wish to assure you from firsthand experience that Tim is an honest and trustworthy seller. You won't be disappointed.

The last time I placed an order I mentioned a wishlist species that I would trade an organ for, and asked that I be notified if he ever came across one.

The man delivered. Figuratively and literally, if you count holding on to my order for several days until I could meet with him. It turns out he has ascended from being a household name to staking claim on an entire city; I brought up the trip to my boyfriend and he suggested we try to meet up with Tim for spiders. Funny you mention it...

This was my fourth order. Lucky for me his prices make it possible to add so much joy to my life.

They are perfect, healthy specimens that I have wanted ever since someone here called them "ugly," and "horrifying."

I accidentally bought a wild caught dwarf mature male at a local pet store, and reached out to Tim as soon as I discovered my blunder. I provided him the collection location and a picture, and he got right back to me with a positive ID. What a treasure he is. He set aside a female for me until I could make the drive down to see him. And maybe he did because I can't see over text, but he didn't laugh at me for wanting to drive several hours away to return the male to where he was collected from.

I made the best mistake of timing it for the upcoming expo, and happened upon the most delightful creature I may have ever seen, an Aphonopelma paloma... Something I didn't even know existed. And it was right before my eyes. It's a high Ive been chasing ever since. She was an unplanned purchase, so Tim answered my questions about her and gave me some protips on her setup to enhance natural behaviors. There are only so many tarantulas I'll be able to carry out in the event of a house fire, and she is one of them. The vorhiesi is great too

It was a quick transaction, I don’t have anything negative to say about Tim. He packaged well the two tarantulas and two scorpions I bought from him. They all arrived lively despite the 1 day delay from FedEx. Highly recommend this seller !

As always, an absolute pleasure to purchase from. Tim always has healthy stock of otherwise difficult to find native species, and has always been happy to discuss details and information he has on the animals prior to purchase. I was able to procure 10 perfect Paraphrynus carolynae for an excellent price this time around, and all are extremely healthy and already molting with me as we speak.

I purchased 3 tarantulas on July 29th. Triprion was great to work with. He took the time to help me figure out what I wanted in addition to my subadult female A.steindachneri. I ended up adding a female and subadult A. paloma to my order. All arrived very healthy. My A. steindachneri is a feisty girl and the A. palomas are adorable and fascinating to watch.
Triprion obviously cares about his tarantulas and ensured that they were safe every step of the way. I will happily purchase from him in the future.

I ordered a few wishlist spiders and Tim accommodated a local pickup for me on short notice. Special considerations were made due to the heat and travel time to home. I received three gorgeous tarantulas.

You won't find better pricing, and definitely not from someone as knowledgeable or trustworthy. Very important when it comes for having a special interest in a genus like Aphonopelma!

Very grateful and looking forward to more!!

All of my critters arrived in excellent condition. The packing was a bit different than expected I can't argue against it's effectiveness.

Communication was above par. During periods of spotty Communication he made sure to keep me in the loop.

Wonderful experience, and I am grateful that local pickup was offered. I bought a jaw dropping AF A. Chalcodes and a B. Hamorii sling. I can't wait to do business again!

Purchased a Scolopendra heros "blotched" — excellent communication throughout and the animal arrived happy and healthy. Thanks again!

Tim was incredibly generous and patient with me while I ordered. The heros "blotched" he sold me were incredible and I cant wait to see them fully grown! Thanks again!

Communication was great and pede came in stellar condition. Price was awesome, I haven’t seen too many heros heros for sale the price was definitely very good for what I’ve seen

I got two scolopendra heros plings from him and he was really nice and helpful. I had never bought anything off arachnoboards before so his helpfulness was very appreciated. Both centipedes came in perfect and I would 100% buy from him again, and probably will.

This is my second time ordering and both times I’ve had a great experience! He’s always quick to respond and to ship. He’s super helpful in all aspects. I’ll definitely be purchasing again and I’m always recommending him!

I had been looking for some Scolopendra heros “blotched” for quite some time, and I saw that Tim had some for sale and decided to jump on em since I haven’t seen any for sale anywhere else. Tim was very quick to reply and was happy to answer any and all questions I had. We quickly got a shipping day setup and within no time I received my package. both heros came in healthy & active, and I could not be more happy! I would definitely purchase from this seller again. Thanks again Tim!!

Nice, healthy, colorful Tarantula's. Trustworthy guy. Really knows his stuff. This is a guy to check in with once or twice a year. I got andult female A. Marxi, female A. Santa Catalina Mtn, female A. Eutylenum and an unsexed A. Moderatum They all looked fantastic. Highly recommended.

Bought 2.2 vachoni and 1,2 hadrurus, also ended up getting an extra 2.0 coahuilae. Communication was stellar, animals are all very healthy and eating well. First time doing business, only regret is that I didn’t buy more, definitely will buy from again.

I contacted Tim for a group buy with the Invertebrate Club of Southern California; this is our second club group buy, and as expected everything went smoothly and great! The prices were good as usual, I received quick responses to any questions, and everything went smoothly in general. Even before I paid, Tim was preparing my order and reserved what we were going to purchase. When the package arrived, there was great insulation and everything was packaged beautifully. Nothing was dead, and he even included a freebie scorpion! I'm looking forward to purchasing with him again!
