Zookeepers is the most kick tail arachnid store around for many states with what knowledge I have. If you watch them often, you can find anything legal. The manager has been studying and researching local tarantula species forever. The owner, the managers, and the couple "workers", are all hard core invert or reptile keepers/collectors/breeders. They have amazing selection. Good prices on most things. (They always seem to have tarantula slings for $3-$8.) They don't mislabel. They tell people what they are getting and how to actually care for them. You can get info for trips from them. They do a lot of rescue, and education type stuff. They have a sloth on display. I think she is an adult. Amazing. They usually have 10+ dart frog species, (bred by a friend)
, and golly gee, what else could I say? I mean sure, they aren't perfect in every way, shape, and form, everyday all day. But as far as "pet" stores go... For arachnids anyway, you don't get better. I mean, they have vinagaroon slings right now. They get solpugids. They have local centipede slings, I forget what they are, but they can get 10", are black with red heads? something "castineps", anyway, they have 2"-3" for $8 right now I think. Oh, I really do think, for arachnids, you don't get much better, at least Anywhere around here. Zoo keepers is awesome. A benefit to the hobby. If you make it here, I'll take you over there.
