Unfortunately my New Theraphosa Apophysis Did Not make it and died. Do not buy from 'Blackwater Reptiles" . They are not reputable and you should not do business with them under any circumstances . Whenever something like this happens we must remember that things like this can and do happen and that it wasnt My fault or our community. I should have consulted our fellow Peers here first. I got excited because i found a unusual T and just had to have one. But as EVERY misfortune that happens in life , We must Move on.Now i Have a Empty Tank that needs a T to go into it. IF you would, are there any People that sell T's that are honest and that you would give ann endorsement to? Also, please make a suggestion for a New T that i might find interesting. I would like something that gets Large, a great eater and is unusual in that it isn't common. I have "intermediate" skill Levels. I dont want to handle it. If it was aggressive that's fine but i am not into the African Variety's . I have the Financial resources to get the husbandry correct and want a Female. Also, My Name in this Forum is just a stupid name and doesnt mean or refer to any sinister intent on my part so don't take offense. I have no love for the ****'s nor am German but i think the more Mature members of our forum might agree that not Every single **** was evil. It was after all a Political Party. General George Patton, arguably the greatest of American Generals of World war 2 said as much. Thank you all . God bless

Terrible news Doc...Good reputable breeders and sellers : Jaimies Tarantulas, Netbug, Kenthebugguy, Swifts invertebrates, I just ordered from Invertebrates Unlimited, highly recommended by another member, my order will be here tomorrow. They don't have a huge selection yet but they do have some nice spiders, and future breeding projects for Pamphobeteus species :D ..and Stamps Tarantulas, petcenter usa...there's a few more but I have a terrible memory. I would suggest the classifieds here and on other tarantula based forums, you'll often find good deals..That's where half of my spiders came from.

I have only ever bought from Jamiestarantula.com but it was always pleasant. I even had a DOA GBB from her and she made it right.

I'm so very sorry to hear you lost your T, that's never a good thing.
As far as ordering I have only ordered from Jamies thus far. (still new to the hobby)
As far as a name, we ran a gaming clan for years, (many years,)
to me names are just a whim of the moment, they don't generally mean anything, I for one took no offence.
