Beautiful spider who arrived in excellent condition! My family and I are very happy with the professional and honorable service we received from this business. As such, we would like to recommend them to other potential customers.
Love my grossa! Such a beautiful species, and I have zero complaints about Big Zs tarantulas! They really are one of the best, from packaging to making sure you have everything you need for your new addition, including enclosures and clean up crew. I couldn’t be happier and will definitely be purchasing from again.
Unfortunately arrive dead but was packaged very nicely and seller kindly helped me with what to do next. Unfortunate events mostly due to weather, but otherwise will be buying from again.

Seller was super happy to communicate with me, and even offered to answer questions I may have in the future. The shipping price was very reasonable for the kind that’s required for these kind of items. Packaging was great; there was a cooling gel and everything else required to keep it safe. Item as described and would do business with them again!
