IMG_20191120_184434.jpg and my friend guessed this guy might be opistophthalmus sp.

Theres no return address or anything, my address but different name on the box. Nothing is labelled, they showed up nearly frozen to death, all the tubs loose or open, and one of the heterometerus loose in the box


....help?
My poor neighbour got to it first and almost died of a heart attack.

Well that’s a new one. Maybe you could contact the postal service? If there’s a label to scan they might be able to give you more information on where on earth they came from.

Could be a gift. Someone is in love with you, it seems.

Why doesn't something like this happen to me? :(

That never happens to me. :(

Sounds like it might have been a private sale with the wrong address.

Yeah, no pro I've bought from would ever send improperly secured animals. Not if they wanted people to continue buying from them. In fact the only time I ever received loose animals was a private seller, guy sent me some true spider slings in a deli cup with one air hole that was too large. he sent 14 - after searching the box and newspaper that was inside I found 8. Good thing they were a harmless species.
