Scott was AWSOME, he communicated every step of the way. He was professional and the spider came in perfect health, relaxed, and on time. His packaging was the best we have ever seen, extremely protected and secured with perfect heat.
Will be returning to Scott for all future purchases. This is a great person to trust.

Purchased a P Rufilata and C Versicolor. Was patient and constant communication waiting for AZ Temps to drop. As soon as it was safe to ship he clearly spent a great deal of time packing the girls safely. 2 beautiful and healthy spide4s arrived safely. Already stalking listings to order more from him.

Would HIGHLY recommend.

Thank you!!!

I purchased several slings from Scott. He kept great communication throughout the whole process. Even though Fedex delayed the package, all the slings arrived safe and healthy due to how well they were packed. He also included a freebie! Do not hesitate to purchase from Scott as you will be very pleased!

I bought my first tarantula from Scott, a 3" female Caribena Versicolor. I had planned on getting this species as a second or third tarantula, but I'd never seen a juvenile for such a good price. I had to purchase it and have no regrets.

Scott was willing to hold the spider whilst I acquired all the necessary materials to care for it. This process ended up taking about 2.5 weeks, and when I was ready he shipped it.

The spider arrived packaged very well. It was snugly enclosed in styrofoam and newspapers. He also put a heat pack inside. The spider was wrapped in paper towels and placed inside of a small AMAC box. The spider arrived healthy. No complaints here.

Throughout the process, Scott was very communicative and kind. I am grateful that my first experience buying a tarantula online went so well. I would definitely purchase from him again.

Pros
  • Exceptionally responsive to the buyer, thorough question answering, attentive to details, competent, joy to talk to, nice prices, nice animals. Holds more value in buyer seller relationship and his animals than making the buck.
Cons
  • (Minor Issue) Packaging (Will Elaborate in the main body of this review)
I've never dealt with this seller and after one bad scam transaction with different seller on arachnoboards, I definitely wanted to deal with someone that had a more well known, positive reputation.
This seller had that AND conversing with Scott was a great joy. His answers were competent, thoughtful, complete and very friendly. Out of all the sellers I've dealt with and I've dealt with some really nice people thankfully, he has to be on the top 5 of my list in terms of responsiveness to his buyers. He made me trust in the buyer seller relationship more. Yes, prices are nice as well, but I value our back and forth conversation even more.

His animals came healthy and he even checked up on me during and after.

Would I purchase from him again? Most definitely and I would highly recommend him. I am looking forward to the next time



CONS: One minor issue because I'm nitpicky is the packaging. I bought multiple same species T from him and he split them half half, so two containers. I'm actually okay with that as we both knew the kinda Ts they are (communal when slings). However, the issue came when taking them out and multiple slings are in one container, especially when they're considered one of the fastest Ts in the hobby and some even consider them one of the fastest for OW Ts. I'm just glad I only had one sling in the bunch that had the ability to teleport. If they were all to decide to make a break for it, being that they're dwarf species and super fast, I'd have no chance. HOWEVER, the positive side to THAT was the containers he shipped them in is nice enough that I'm using them both for my C. Elegan dwarf T slings right now! Did I tell you that Scott was a great and thoughtful guy? Lol!

Thanks man.

(Vial creatures/Scott) just purchased my holy grail of tarantulas I've been looking for since 2014 MF or close to it Poecilotheria Subfusca Highland. Found her from TarantulaForums post last week, and Scott was patient with me, while I came up with the $. The 2 hour drive was well worth the reward, he also added 2 versi slings for the drive. He's definitely got a nice collection. I will definitely be buying more Ts from him in the near future. Thank you again bud.

This was my second time buying from Scott/MobBurrow.

Last year I got a 3 pack of Ybyrapora diversipes and they were all in excellent shape, so I made another purchase. I bought the 10 lot of 1" versicolor because the price was great. Scott was great about keeping in touch with me. The shipping date had to change by a day, but he contacted me and it worked for my schedule. He sent me 12 and mentioned that he was before I got the package, which I appreciate because putting together arboreal sling enclosures takes a little more effort than a terrestrial. Everyone arrived lively. Shipping price was low for me because he's in my general region. Would definitely recommend and purchase from again. This is the only person who seems to have ybyrapora on a regular basis right now. You won't be disappointed.

I purchased 5 M balfouri slings from Scott and had a great experience. He gave very useful advice, the spiders arrived healthy, the packaging was incredibly intricate and somehow made rehousing 5 small OWs a breeze. He is very friendly and I felt it was clear that his main priority is the well-being of the spiders. Would definitely buy from him again!

Purchased several T's from him, and he was extremely proactive about communicating shipping windows, delays, and resolving a very minor issue with one of the specimens he discovered as he was packing it up to ship.

Absolutely great experience and would recommend to anybody.

Echoing what everyone else has written, Scott was excellent to work with and has great slings! Ordered 3 C. Versicolor slings 4 months ago, they came very healthy and still going strong (2 molts since arrival). Would definitely buy from him again.

One of the best experiences I’ve had purchasing T’s. Great communicator and felt confident through the entire experience that purchasing from Scott was a good decision.

Packaging is beyond meticulous and one of the easiest by far to unpack the T. You literally have to see it in person, no joke how painstakingly precise each piece of tissue was folded in a box the size of a thumbnail with a vibrant healthy T happily secured inside. The shipping box was virtually bomb proof.

I can’t recommend Scott enough. It was a pleasure doing business with him.

I've done business before with this person and there's never been an issue. He's on of the best out there. Always very fair prices, perfect shipping/packaging.

On this particular order the tiny slings had not quite molted yet. Average dealers would drop them in a vial and ship. Seller always makes sure Ts are not going to molt, and feeds after a molt to make sure all is OK.

Due to weather and molting it took a few weeks to get here- seller always gave me updates.

This is one of my "trusted sellers" from the classifieds. Will continue to buy again and again.
