I got very good prices. Very communicative, and everything went pretty good except the way the poor spiders were shipped. Unfortunately they were all willy nilly in an oversized box 2 of the containers opened and two of the T's were fighting and possibly cause it it one of them lost a leg, that I am hoping will grow back. Fingers crossed. I probably wouldn't buy from this seller again because of the shipping but everything else was fine. So just so you know I got 6 spiders. I didn't think nor did I know I would be buying more so quickly.

I got 2 Avicularia Avicularia, 2 Tliltocatl albopilosus, and 2 Aphonopelma Seemani. The are pretty much sub adult, the 2 semani being the largest. I got the whole lot shipped for 116$ and that is why I went with this seller. I bought 2 of each hoping that I would wind up with a female, still waiting for molts. Fingers crossed.

Adding a few more pics including the possible result of the bad packing, as after examination I am pretty sure this scuffle resulted in the spider losing a leg….was very upset at the “first experience” of it all and the fact that it happened to the poor spiders, bad enough we shipping them around in boxes…regardless though can’t beat the prices…I basically wound up with 6 sub adult spiders

Which 2 scuffled? One of the pics looks as though the T. albopilosus & A. seemanni? Just curious... Either way thats horrible .. hope they are both doing ok especially the one that lost its leg and I hope you had a conversation with the seller thats just heartbreaking .. Good luck they are beautiful Ts.

Yeah you can see in the pic it was the T. Also and A Semani, ziggy(T Albo) is on top of Dusty(a semani) sadly though Dusty has lost a leg since. Initiall I took the both of them and put them in an ICU to make sure they weren’t bleeding/leaking fluid. They appeared to be fine but Dusty has been in burrow since being housed and I just recently noticed he has lost a leg. I am pretty sure it was from the scuffle even though I was watching them like a hawk for 2-3days in ICU. Other than that they are both fine. Hopefully in a molt or 2 that leg will be back like new.

Just imagine your excitement as you first ever tarantula and encounter and initially when I opened the box I took the pic not realizing there was a spider under another spider. I thought it was just one spider. When I went to move them to get it in a catch cup the T Albo literally jumped almost a foot away. The Semani just stood up. It was my first interaction ever with a t
