RESOURCES - DEALERS - SUPPLIERS
the tarantula hobby is a new and growing community and many things are still left to be learned and discovered about keeping these species in captivity. To provide the best level of care, it is a great idea to learn from the experiences of many keepers, not just one. The broader our base of understanding, the higher our point of success as keepers. These are links to some of, in my opinion, the best and most trusted sources for sales, supplies, husbandry, care, and information regarding tarantulas, scorpions and other invertebrates. There are many more, but these are the people I turn to first when researching and encourage you to do the same as well.

We are still learning every single day. Things are always changing in the tarantula world. We are family owned and operated. We attend a lot of the local Repticon Expos here in Florida and have even been a vendor at the National Reptile Breeders Expo in Daytona. We have grown in such a short period of time from just having 1 table to now having 4 tables as often as we can. We pride ourselves in bringing the public a large variety of tarantulas to choose from at the expos. Our goal is to make sure there are tarantulas available to go along with all the Ball Pythons, Geckos and Monitors found at the expos.

Podcasts
Tom’s Big Spiders
A podcast devoted to the proper care and upkeep of tarantulas and other inverts. After keeping a G. porteri for over 16 years, I decided that I wanted to add another tarantula to my collection. Several years later, I now keep over 100 specimens and 90+ different species. It’s safe to say that I am now completely addicted to the hobby. I’m NOT an expert, and I’m currently still learning about keeping these fascinating creatures. However, this is an ever-evolving hobby, so I implore anyone interested in keeping these animals to use whatever they find here as a springboard for further research on techniques or species-specific care.
