For only the cover price of $10.95 and $2.90 shipping (in the USA, additional charges for international orders) you can have an author inscribed copy on your bookshelf.

AVAILABLE TARANTULAS

NOTE: Tarantula sizes are approximate and are stretched diagonal legspans. Scorpion and centipede sizes are approximate and are total lengths. Wild-caught animals are denoted with "WC" - all other animals are captive bred. All are sold as "unsexed" (i.e., undetermined gender) unless otherwise specified. We choose spiders to pack for your order randomly based on health, vigor, size, color and time within a molt cycle. You have an equal chance of obtaining a male or female. Many customers take advantage of our 3-lot and 6-lot pricing to raise a group of a species to increase the chances that a pair or at least one female is acquired.

Continental US sales ONLY! We ship only on Wednesday for arrival Thursday morning with live arrival guaranteed. Please click here to view shipping information and here for live arrival guarantee terms. This information (and much more) can also be found in the right sidebar of this page and in detail within our Order Info page.

NEW ARRIVALS We just purchased a small group of large juvenile/subadult tarantulas including Grammostola pulchra, Brachypelma emilia and Brachypelma boehmei. If you have an interest drop me an email.
