[QUOTE="Tortoise Tom, post: 132261, member: 27883"] I've read hours of vendor reviews, but wanted to invite more specific comment. Being sort of new to the hobby as it exists now, I don't want to make beginner mistakes. One of the biggest mistakes I see over on the tortoise forum is being buying from the wrong source. It can lead to disaster. Rather than ask all of their new friends, so many people do an on-line search and end up buying from a big seller with a nice website, but a terrible track record and reputation. For father's day my daughter and I are going to sit down and order some new spiders together. I've bought from Casey twice and was totally happy, but she doesn't currently have the species I'm looking for. Seven Wonders Reptiles sent me a nice bunch, but they also don't have the species I'm now looking to acquire. I've bought from Jamie's in the past, but I've been reading mixed reviews about them now. Fear Not Tarantulas seems to have good reviews. I also like buying from individual breeders, but that's harder to do when trying to buy several species and keeping shipping costs down. Maybe this is species specific? Here are some of the ones I'm after: B alibiceps B auratum E cyanognathus G iheringi G pulchripes H pulchripes L klugi L parahybana M robustum M balfouri P sazimai T stirmi X intermedia Thanks for reading and looking forward to your thoughts.
