Tim B (Triprion)

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!

Ordered several centipedes that were shipped quickly. One species I've never gotten from someone before that I was pleased to find for a great price. Extremely well packaged, all the animals arrived in great shape. Communication was speedy and the purchase was easy. Would order again without hesitation. Thank you!

Purchased some Paraphrynus mexicanus and Vaejovis deboreae. The animals arrived healthy and were well packed.

V. deboreae is the first scorpion I acquired after I asked for a recommendation for a good small "starter" scorpion. It was an excellent choice.

I would buy from again and plan to in the future.

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.

Tim was fantastic to deal with. He has spiders no one else has. He was very professional and courteous. Just a pleasure to work with. Spiders arrived healthy and well packaged. I’ll definitely buy more aphonopelma from him in the future!

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!

This is my third purchase from Tim. Always great communication and beautiful healthy animals — thank you!

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!

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.

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.

Excellent transaction. Will definitely be purchasing more in the future. Highly recommend.

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.

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.

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.

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!
