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.

I use them for all my spiders, from tiny slings to massive adults, and they make rehousings a breeze. Use my link below or use code TTC10 to save 10% on the best enclosures in the hobby.
