Black widow farmer web site?

[AphonopelmaTX]

Hello all!

Can some one point me to the web site of the so-called "black widow farmer" who raises thousands of black widows, "milks" their venom, and sells it to other companies to produce antivenin? I could swear I have seen this company's web site before but I can't find it after searching these forums and Google.

Thanks in advance!
