🚨ATTENTION FELLOW BREEDERS 🚨 Do Not Do Business With This Person! He is attempting to acquire jumpers for the sole purpose of making jewelry out of them. He did not ask if I had any jumpers that had passed away, He was looking for live jumpers to make jewelry out of. He started to ask questions to which the answer was obvious or I had previously answered, which is where the screenshot shot begins.

Moving forward, Instagram & tiktok will solely be used for posting content. I will no longer process adoptions through Instagram. In order to adopt one of these adorable web puppies, contact me via FB MESSENGER or EMAIL ME at [email protected]

If you're interested in a specific jumper or there is a limited quantity available the adoption fee is due immediately otherwise, your Inquiry message is your online cart....Just like Target or Walmart, if you leave an item in your cart for too long someone else can purchase your item. The jumper is not yours until the adoption process is completed.

I can't offer holds or partial payment reservations. I will not accept an adoption fee more than 3-4 days before pick up or shipping. Shipping orders completed after Wednesdays are the exception. If you're adopting a 'specific' jumper or limited quantity is available, the adoption fee is due immediately to reserve that jumper. Otherwise, the adoption fee can be paid in person if picking up.

A lot of the messages breeders receive don't result in adoption. Sometimes, people just have questions, and in most instances, those questions are easily found via a quick internet search.

A breeders job is to provide you with a seamless adoption process & a healthy spood. You should be doing extensive research on proper husbandry before you adopt any new pet.

Yes, we are here to help with any questions (IF) you cannot find the answer on your own, but Google, Bing, Firefox, and Safari should be the first places you look for answers about care for your jumpers.

Following suit with other breeders, I will start offering paid consultations for anyone who has questions or concerns about jumping spider care.

I will be writing an updated care sheet soon to be posted for everyone to use. I will also be sending out care sheets to first-time jumping spider owners with their orders.

Thank you for understanding, I apologize for any inconvenience - Friendly Fangz ❣️🕷❣️

Everyone can bash me without the facts, but I can't defend myself? Why am I being bashed on several posts but my post gets removed? I posted this is the jumping spider group & it was removed immediately because "it causes unnecessary drama", But when I asked an admin to ask people to stop coming to my page harassing me she said she couldn't do that, but they removed my post explaining my side...I will be deleting this page today & conducting business solely via Instagram.
------------------------------------------------
If one persons lies can turn people against me then I don't want those people as customers anyway!

I never felt accepted in these groups which is why I stopped posting in any of the jumping spider groups. None of you ever liked me, you tolerated me! Almost every time I posted someone would say something negative in the comments. I watched as other African American members got much less engagement on their Posts than any other races. I watched as my post that didn't show my skin tone got so much more engagement than the pictures that did. That is why I change my profile picture to a spider only for a long time, So people would see the spider instead of my caramel skin!

I didn't asked to be on the Vetted breeders list, I was messaged & asked to be on it because I was doing so well on my own. I will continue to do well on my own! I don't want to be apart of a group that would treat me this way because of one mistake that was made, created from ignorance of knowledge not done maliciously.

Valeria Ramos Garcia messaged me to buy a female Soroa on a buy 1 get 1 free deal. Within one to two hours of our initial conversation (before payment) I messaged her back letting her know I miscounted, but I had an Otiosus Juvenile available. She agreed to the unsexed Otiosus, only then did I work on her invoice, only then did she pay. So why is she making it seem as if I switched the species after she paid. If she didn't want an Otiosus she didn't have to get an Otiosus, I didn't force her to get the Otiosus. She had a choice & CHOSE to get it before she paid.

There WAS a delay in shipping, but that's all she tells you. Not that my Uncle who I was very close to died on Tuesday, which is shipping day & I was too distraught to get shipping boxes together. I posted on my page for everyone to see that I had a family emergency therefore I couldn't ship. I messaged each customer individually giving them details on why I wasn't able to ship. Valeria sent her condolences & agreed to wait!

Why make grievances against things that you agreed to?

Valeria received her package Thursday, she messaged me Friday & let me know everyone arrived safely. She received them Thursday, The entire weekend passed, then Monday she sent a message saying "Hey sorry to bother you, I have" Instagram only allows the first 5 words before you open a message. I receive tons of messages literally around the clock so I only respond to messages once a week, that info is posted several times on my IG & FB. So at no point in time was I ignoring her message, there was no urgency in the message so I assumed she had a run of the mill question & was going to respond on schedule, that Friday. Also, again, my uncle died days before so I would think that she could give me time to grieve! That Thursday I received a text from PayPal stating someone opened a claim against me for $30 on a $42 order. When I opened the claim I saw the pictures & I was livid! I have NEVER had one spider with missing legs, not even from a bad molt. I have never had problems with any of my males being paralyzed. I had no idea other factors came into play because I had never experienced it & I did jump to conclusions & assume the worst because at the time I knew of no other way it could happen. I've already apologized to Valeria for that! Valeria received three spoods only one of which she paid for. The two free spiders are disputed, not the Otiosus. I don't understand how any of you think it's ok to request a refund on free items. Even if she was entitled to at least one which I would have gladly sent her had she not filed a claim for the extra, extra free spider as well. I sent a 3rd free spider out of the kindness of my heart & she requested a refund on that one as well. BUT with all those factors in play, I had no business posting about a private matter, I admit that! I had no business sending her name to the two breeders who asked, and I definitely shouldn't have made the statement that I thought she may have pulled leg off, I admit my wrongdoing in that & Valeria I again apologize for that as well... I will say it was not done maliciously it was done ignorantly with good intent. I've never experienced the things that were in the pictures and all of my other customers that week had no issues with their spoods so at the time I felt like I was being scammed. I should have consultated with the admins on what to do, but I was just trying to get ahead of the situation before it blew up but ended up causing the blow up myself. I admit & agree I should have reacted differently handled things differently from the start, but can you walk in my shoes for a min? Your uncle dies on your great grandmothers birthday who passed away the previous year, you were VERY close to both people. You're very emotional, you weren't able to collect your bearings enough to prepare shipping boxes yet you still find enough strength to create a post & message everyone individually. Everyone happily agrees to wait & sends their condolences.( After the fact you find out they're messaging other breeders asking about your reputation & if they think you'd scam them because you didn't respond two days before shipping) Days go buy & you ship on schedule. Everyone received healthy spoods confirmed via message. After the weekend they send one message & one message only with the statement "Hey, sorry to bother you. I have", It didn't sound urgent, You planned to respond soon & you're still grieving from your Uncle's death so you decide to respond when you get it together. A couple days later you receive a text from PayPal stating someone opened a case against you. The description given was "Not As Described" "Both spiders keep missing legs". You knew you didn't send them like that, you knew none of your spoods ever had missing legs or paralyzed legs and on top of that both spiders were FREE. You then check your messages & the buyer deleted the message about the spoods being alive & well. You're confused as to how FREE can be refund, you see pictures of butchered spoods the person telling you it's your fault even though they've had the spoods for 4-5 days. You let them know a refund on free items is not possible, They then say they just want to be reimbursed for some of the funds they spent on the enclosures. At which point you really think it's a scam & you escalate the case to a PayPal claim yourself. Would you not see those factors & think you're being scammed? You submit no additional information other than the message between you & the buyer...based solely off the buyers words PayPal ruled in my favor & closed the case. Again the allegations I made against Valeria were not done with malicious intent, at the time I knew of no other reason for legs to just come off & the only reason I knew for legs to be paralyzed is from chemicals & pesticides, Alix corrected me & I should have taken my post down after that! I accept my responsibility for posting about out private business dispute, I accept my responsibility for my false allegations against Valeria & the harm it may have caused her! BUT I owe no one else an apology, if you want to have posts bashing me in the group that's fine, but what you're not going to keep doing is coming to my page harassing in the comment section trying to ruin my reputation for one mistake that I have taken responsibility for.

VALERIA, I APOLOGIZE TO YOU FOR ANYYTHING YOU FEEL I DID! If you only requested a refund for the one free spider that was apart of the deal I would have gladly sent you another...you can ask any customer I've had I rectify all issues out of my own pocket or give a credit if they ask for one. Even though my name has been slung through the mud I'm still willing to send you another spood because you did state you wouldn't have purchased if it weren't for the promotional sale. I was confused as to why you were seeking a refund for both when I gifted you the 3rd spider & when you said it was for the enclosure I was angry so I shut down & escalated to PayPal because I was dealing with enough after loosing a dear family member & didn't want the drama. Whether I named you or not, the post shouldn't have been made, It was never my intention to cause you harm... I truly believed I was being scammed at the time and did not have the knowledge that I have now on the subject about the spiders missing limbs. It was a confusing situation, I was emotional & grieving so I wasn't mentally prepared to handle that & I apologize. If you're interested in a replacement spood contact me via Fb messenger. I will cover the cost of shipping the only thing I ask that you pay is the price of the shipping box Because I did not charge you for a box on your 1st order.

But as for this group you have shown your true colors & I no longer want to be apart of it! And I still wish peace, love, & light for everyone one of you!

I will not be responding to ANYONE!

Edit: I do also want to apologise to Brittany for sharing her screenshot involving her in my drama!

2nd Edit: I do not want anyone to bash Valeria, I made this post to explain my side & hopefully come to a resolution with Valeria.

🔊SOUND ON...SHARING IS CARING! This is how I save time feeding juveniles. I don't use substrate for slings or juveniles because I mist twice a day to keep up humidity, Also I don't want their prey hiding from them in the substrate. I put about 5-10 mealworms at the bottom of their enclosure & keep track of their eating habits by counting the mealworms & looking at their abdomen. I move slings into this size enclosure around 4th-5th instar.

"IF" you have an IG account & you're looking to purchase please send a message via DM. For some reason I don't get all of my notifications for FB therefore many messages get lost & go unanswered. If you have an IG account please contact me there, it is much easier for me to keep track of messages on Instagram.

THANK YOU!!!🥰🕷🥰

I understand some don't have/want Instagram, so they cannot message there. Please bear with me while I figure things out!🙏🏽🧿

SPOOOODS!!

“REAL FRIENDS HAVE FANGS!”, It’s more than just a clever slogan I came up with for a small business fueled by my passion for jumping spiders. Truthfully, I didn’t start out with a love for spiders...in fact, I despised them. I hate that I felt this way, but the only option for a spider was the bottom of my shoe or raid bug spray! About a year ago, my dear Great-Grandfather, Alexander Horton Jones Jr. passed away. One of the many things I inherited from him was a gently used canon camera. I have always been amazing at photography, I'm never in pictures at events because I'm always the one taking the pictures.

(You're probably wondering where I'm going with this, there's a point I promise)

I started taking pictures every day of everything that I could. I then realized I had a macro lens, I bought some extension tubes and started taking macro photos in my backyard. One day there was a tiny fuzzy spider on my aloe vera with a big set of puppy dog eyes staring right back at me. He was a patient and willing model, we had several photoshoots over several days. One day he was just GONE, I couldn't find him anywhere. I searched for a week or two to no avail. I started doing research to find out exactly what type of spider I encountered, It was a Phidippus Audax jumping spider. I then started doing research on where to buy one because I was so intrigued by the little eight-legged guy who stole my heart.

My first jumpers were a bold orange, almost red female Phidippus Regius Soroa from Cuba (My daughter named her Crispy Bacon), And a bright yellow female Hyllus Diardi whom I name Bananas. Bananas was an adult when we got her and has unfortunately passed away since. Crispy Bacon is doing fine and her slings will be the first of many spoods sold by Friendly Fangz. Our mission is not only to provide the best eight-legged experience but also to rid the world of the irrational fear of these beautiful creatures. We cant wait to do business with you here at Friendy Fangz, and always remember, REAL FRIENDS, HAVE FANGS!!!
