All California species come with county locality info upon purchase (make sure to ask). All specimens are collected with the goal of conserving each species and the habitat in mind, i.e I am not mass collecting from a single location, engaging in destructive collecting practices, etc. Please feel free to inquire about my methods and how I assess where and when to collect (or not to collect).

Minimum purchase price before shipping=$20.

All species not labeled "Hobby" pure as far as I can tell. Shipping runs anywhere from $12-$25 for 2-3 day (for Californians it is usually cheaper), though be aware of shipping delays. Spiders may need to be shipped via FedEx, terms discussed on a case-by-case basis.
LAG guaranteed if the temperature is in between 32F-90F and the package arrives within 4 days. Not responsible for delays caused by the weather/postal service/covid-19/et. al. Not responsible for deaths due to a package being left on the porch/in the mailbox/etc. Depending on temperatures you may need to pay for cool/heat packs ($4).
DOAs need to be reported within 12 hours of the package arriving and with clear photos and/or videos of the specimens still in the shipping containers, as well as on a white surface in a signature death pose (depends on species).

 

Reviews here, here, and here.

Thanks,

Responsive and efficient. I ordered and received everything in a well insulated box in great condition. My only regret is I did not inquire and purchase earlier (some other items were already on hold and sold). Recommend not hesitating on a purchase.
