Message: <blockquote data-quote="TNT" data-source="post: 54205" data-attributes="member: 4143">I am 2 years into the hobby and I have ordered from them only recently.   I ordered a tortoise and several tarantulas.  The tortoise had ripped halfway through it's bag and was caught with the bag around its "arms" and head.  It was horribly cold.  (No heat pack)  My tarantulas were shipped in deli cups of dirt with no protection.  One of them was stuck to what looked like a sponge.  They, too, we're cold and coated with dirt.  There were size discrepancies.  I ordered two large male pinktoes and one large female pinktoe.  The males were approximately two inches each...and one of them looks more female, and had taken off it's leg for what I can only assume was an injury.  The large female was oddly "wooly" looking and when it finally relaxed enough to stretch out, was larger than my hand.  I have no idea what particular kind of pinktoe she is.  She is a she, though.The two rosehair males I ordered are a fair size, and seemed to be just fine, despite the thick coating of dirt in their hair.All of this was packed in the box, lined with the proper Styrofoam insulation, but there was no heat, and these dirt cups were just thrown in on top of that poor tortoise.  No news paper, nothing.  The tortoise has just been staring at the window and not eating.  When the weather gets warmer I'm hoping a nice trip outside with our other tortoise will help her more.The prices and variety are alluring, however these are living beings.  I have a whole temp/humidity controlled room with a keyless entry lock, just for these sweeties and I love everyone of them.  I have to tell you though, I did feel guilty for buying them after that.</blockquote>
