I need help with finding reputable breeders to buy from. I would really appreciate your suggestions. Thank you.

Hi my name is Taraspatula "Hi, Taraspatula". I too am a newbie but have become a Tarantulaholic. It went from 1 to 8 in 2 months and I can definitely say that these guys sitting around us in this forum have helped me with my addiction. WELCOME

Do not, do not ,I repeat,do not buy from Backwater Reptiles.!
Jamie's Tarantulas are great! Always do your research on who you are buying from!

I got my b hamorii from them. When I was choosing sizes I chose 3-4” minimum, when it got to my house it was 2.5”.

Edit: it was also catatonic

Search your area for reptile expo. In my area you can find at least one per month within a 1 or 2 hour drive.

Welcome to the forum!

I ordered my GBB from Fear Not Tarantulas and recommend them for sure!. Great communication... They are always happy to answer questions and give advice if you email them. They are located in Virginia Beach, VA.

Best of luck!

Paula there are several reputable online vendors, but I suggest the classifieds here, and on that other site. Check reviews, there are lots of knowledgable breeders and sellers, and they all advertise on the forums. Good luck!
