Hola,

First time ordering with Scott and I dare say I look forward to being a repeat customer. I ordered 0.0.3, 2.5" Poecilotheria rufilata to shore up my collection against what I see as a looming ban on interstate Pokie sales. From the start, I could tell Scott was as a devoted and knowledgable breeder/dealer/collector as I've ever had the pleasure of communicating with, and his prices deeply reflect his love of the hobby over his love of profits. His attention to detail as far as the methods of shipping and proper packaging materials proved his equal dedication to the well being of the individual specimens as well. All communication, from initial interest, to ordering, to shipment was exceptional and detailed. My order was hassle free, shipped overnight via FedEx and held for pickup as is my preference. The packaging and insulation was above and beyond. The heat pack was still warm and the inside of the box probed at 72.3 degrees, despite the temperatures here never going above freezing. I'm happy to report that their were no DOA's, thanks in no small part to Scott's aforementioned shipping skills. The T's were individually packaged in small AMAC style containers (I was a little surprised to find that they were all packed head last and each one was potentially a loaded Pokie cannon pointing at me lol). The unpack went smooth, each specimen gently climbed out of their paper towel rolls with gentle prodding and no explosions of movement (It was quite refreshing as a shipment of P. metallica I acquired the previous week were all tong climbers lol). All have begun feeding and customizing their juvenile enclosures to their liking. The whole experience with Scott was amazing and I look forward to repeating it in the future.

Thanks,
--Matt

  • Perfect and smooth transaction
Cons
  • None, nada
Positive review for Scott!! I inquired about the mm he posted on classified, and we both agreed on a fair trade. It was pretty cold on both our end but his packaging skills made it certain that the ts will arrive safe and sound. Perfect packaging skill & a very professional dealer.. know you’re in good hands when dealing with him. Highly recommended. This is my first time dealing with Scott and will definety come back again. Thank you very much! :)

I bought a 0.1 Hapalopus sp. colombia, and every part of the transaction went smoothly. Seller was very communicative and easy to work with. The T was well packed in an insulated box, and arrived in perfect condition. She appears healthy and has been very active, and easy to care for. I'm very happy with my purchase.

  • Great prices, great packing and great communication!
Cons

After reading all of the good reviews on this site, I decided to pull the trigger on some slings. Can’t say enough good things about the whole process. Communication was great throughout. The animals arrived on time and were packed amazingly well. Every sling was active and VERY healthy looking (fat as hell!). The fact that my entire experience with Scott was this satisfactory the WEEK AFTER Christmas is definitely a testament to how much he cares about both his customers and his animals.

I will definitely be ordering again soon.

Pros
  • Excellent: communication, shipping, selection of healthy Ts and a cool seller name!
Cons
  • Doesn't live in California...lol
Scott made a FS post that included C. versicolor slings. I hit him up immediately (I've had bad luck acquiring them at a reasonable price). When it was all said and done, I ended up with the following:

1x Hapalopus sp columbia LG 2.5"
2x Caribena versicolor 1.5"
1x Lasiodora parahybana 4.75"
a freebie - Y. diversipes

The shipping cost was a little more than I'm normally willing to pay, but as they say "You get what you paid for". Sent payment and he provided me with a tracking number the next day. We did have a minor issue with the shipping, but that's more of a USPS issue...which was easily resolved. The packaging was excellent, especially the small amac style containers that the Ts came in. That alone makes the shipping worth the price. All the Ts seem happy and healthy...which overall is the most important requirement.

I wouldn't hesitate to buy from Scott in the near future, and you shouldn't either!

  • Good variety, great prices for the size, and excellent communication
This was a great purchase -- I'd love to buy from Scott again. He was an incredibly quick and clear communicator, and he worked with me around some shipping date constraints. His prices were excellent for the generously sized slings, and my spiders arrived healthy and alert, well packaged with insulation and a cool pack. The spiders were also easy to remove and rehouse. Very happy overall!

  • Great communication Reasonable prices Phenomenal packing All around everything you can ask for in a T dealer
Cons

Just purchased and received my P. Subfusca highland sling and I am over the moon impressed. Great communication throughout and he makes you feel really comfortable throughout like you two are friends. The packing was great, the sling was super secure and was not going anywhere. To further prove this point she had just recently molted and she was 100!% fine. I honestly can't ask for anything more, thanks again! Will be buying again without hesitation!!

Pros
  • Secure packing, well fed slings
Our transaction was originally supposed to be Scott purchasing our MM H mac, but we ended up working out a trade instead. He offered us a P. subfusca HL sling plus a sling of our choice from a few different species - we chose P. rufilata.
Communication was a little scattered/confusing, but in the end both sides of the trade were shipped on the same day.
Our slings arrived on time, well packed and safe. Scott also included a free P. regalis! The slings are well fed and lively.
Overall, a satisfactory transaction.

I had two MMs that MobBurrow had on his need list so I contacted him. We worked out a trade for some stuff on his for sale list.

Communication was great. We both sent our packages on the same day and recieved the following day. Packing was awesome. I’m looking forward to doing business with MobBurrow again!
