So im addicted to tarantula collecting now and have found a seller on Morph Market and who has their own website both of which will be posted here at the end and i was wondering what everyone thought. i have no idea if these are edited images because of the varieties of tarantulas out there which are real and exhibit traits like metallic blue. some will say oh those are absolutely edited etc however after ebing a plant breeder and knowing theres a variety of phenotype expressions in plants i had to wonder are these just rare and expressing brighter traits or will i get a normal looking tarantula etc. also what do you think about the prices? $1000 for an LSD Earth Tiger seems steep as hell. i also included a video he sent me. i will be buying one of the tarantulas regardless and let everyone know the results with pictures here. also has anone bought from westsidetarantulas/westsidereptiles before? thanks

All his photos are edited. I would never buy from him his prices are ripping people off. I think he is a joke to the hobby and only in it for the money preying on noobs.

easiest way to find out is visit his location to see them with your own eyes
not a bad idea at all. i could fly there i used to live all over the LA area see some friends stop by his shop once the fires are out and the air clear though of course

Any thoughts on MorphMarket in general? There must be some legit sellers on it. I keep getting MorphMarket ads, so the Google algorithms must be reading my mind.

Yes- There are legit sellers of herps on there. I’ve met sellers at herp shows. One of the biggest names in high end ball pythons is on it, among others.

Its like any site, quality and crap sellers.
