Ok you all like this one the best (don’t mind the pink I’m just playing around) but what I need yall to tell me now is which do yall like best as far as my business names placement?

I kinda like C the best because it’s minimal, and blends in pretty well, but it still shows like hey this is my design and business 😅😂

PSA please do not tag ANY groups, spider groups or not.. to my followers in the comment sections.. There are many groups made strictly for sc_amming purposes lately in the arachnid Facebook world.. and if I don’t personally say I endorse or trust the group or post about it myself, yall do not join it unless it’s on your own will. I want to protect yall, and do not agree with utilizing my business page for your gain unless it is agreed upon prior! We work hard here, and our customers are like family to us. We would be devastated to have one of yalls hard earned money be taken because of something like this.. so just as a rule, please no tagging or linking of ANY groups 🙏🏼

In the meantime here are a few spood groups I personally moderate for, or am comfortable knowing they’re legit to share.

OnlySpoods
Jumping Spider Adoptions
Jumping Spider Newbies

Scammer shoutout part 2…

So all of the admins of that group are more than likely one person using multiple fake accounts. I have been sent proof showing they have stolen photos from all of my friends as well, Super Spood Jumpers, Georgia Jumper Dude, Heathers Hidesway just to name a few… and I was shown a conversation with William Churchill where the customer asked him for reviews and references… and he said “William Churchill is my best buyer!” — 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣 when the scammer must have forgotten they were under that exact account at that time saying this!! 🤣 not only are they thieves, they’re not the brightest bulb.

Just stay away from these names. And please report any photo theft, or scam activity to someone you trust. We do our very best to protect the community and all customers in it, and even other br33ders we may not know.. because it’s flat out wrong!

Emmi May Sparks
William Churchill
Bryan Statham
Drew Nicorn
Dylans Tarantulas

If yall know more please add them.

Again, the group is Tarantula and Jumping Spider Community - it’s going on 600 members which is insane for a scam group! Block all of those individual, report the group, report the posts, and leave the group! 🫶🏻💕 It kills me to think, people so lazy, think they can just take from hard working people.. and when they do this.. they take from us authentic br33ders and also from the custom3rs 😭😞

SCAMMER SHOUTOUT - the admin of ‘tarantula and jumping spider community’ who’s name is Bryan Statham… is a FRAUD!!! Bryan Statham You not only stole my photo of my gorgeous Sicily, you also directly copied and pasted the EXACT verbiage I used when announcing her here to my followers! People like you give me the ick and deserved to be called out. We work HARD at what we do and take it extremely seriously… Please yall, do NOT join this group.. tell all of your friends.. make others aware! For all we know, this guy is stealing the identity of someone else too! Which is more than likely the case. Do not buy from anyone you can’t trust. If you feel somethings wrong in your gut… no matter how good of a price, no matter how gorgeous.. RUNN!!! Make the seller VIDEO record themselves with the spider if you have to!! Your money is precious!!

What is pasted below is copied from Super Spood Jumpers post where they shared about this scammer as well! It has a lot more helpful options with links etc! 💕🫶🏻 together we can take these dummies down!

⚠️ Scam Warning 🚨

The group "Tarantula And Jumping Spider Community" is run by admin accounts that are stealing photos from multiple people/pages within the hobby (including me) and trying to scam people with them. They do not have the jumpers, enclosures, or tarantulas in their posts. It seems they are even copying the initial verbiage that was made by the OPs (see my arm hair comment on the toast photos 😅).

This is not the first time something like this has happened. Scam groups pop up fairly often for most hobbies. We are lucky enough with jumpers to usually catch them fairly quickly, but it is important to take action so fewer people are taken advantage of.

⭐What can you do to help?⭐
-Please report the group and any posts by admins within it. FB will respond much faster if reports are filed by multiple people. You may have to join the group to see posts and report.
-LEAVE the group after you are done. It's important that we don't boost the group numbers. Higher group numbers make the group more likely to show up for others who love jumping spiders. We want positive change not more harm 🙏🏼.
-Share this post to any jumper groups you are a part of, and check the group members to make sure the admin from the scam groups are not in your groups. Ask your admins to ban them if they are in the group.
-If you are a professional page, I highly recommend blocking all of the admin accounts from the scam group. This will make it harder for your photos to be stolen and will keep them from leaving negative reviews on your page.

Please keep in mind that these accounts are probably not real people. They could even all be run by the same person. Attacking the admin accounts with messages or comments will not help. If the accounts were real at one point, usually they have been hacked before they become a part of something like this.

If you can spare the time, please report the scam group itself but also individual posts made by the admins.

Here are the admins and moderators of the group. Please share this to any jumper groups you are a part of to make sure admin can easily ban and or block these accounts.

🌵 Obsessed with my variegated opuntia ‘sunburst’ cacti aka Rare Variegated Opuntia Monocantha / Variegated prickly pear cactus 💜🩷🧡💛 I have grown these for almost a year now from Wittle beans, and I’m finally getting to see the sun stressed coloring on them 😭🙏🏼 es magnífico! ☀️ I will have 2-3 paddle props at the Murfreesboro expo Sept 7-8 make sure you come see us!!

These photos are taken at night as you can see, but in daylight the variegated portions are a much creamier light color like shown in the last two photos! 🪴

Wow……. Ugh my heart has always wanted a beardie so so soooooo badly but I’m terrified of their high maintenance. Although I have researched for YEARS and know I’d be a great home… I still just doubt myself 😭 then I see this absolutely GORGEOUS beardie and think…. Mayyyybe?! 🤣 show me your beardie babes and your chameleons!!

08/15/2024

I would like to try something different. If any br33ders are interested in swapping males, males of different species, or same species.. basically interested in swapping at all! Instead of having to go spend a fortune to have one that may not even take to the female… I’d love to collaborate with you!! Win win for everyone!

My sub adult Mystaceus boy and I’m not sure what the nikites genders or instars are but as soon as I know I will update! 🫶🏻 from Tiny Webbers 💜😻🤩

When you’re getting out of your truck and find a teeny baby hitchhiker and then question if it may be one of yours… or a wild stray….. and get home to find out yep…. Little dude just traveled with me for how long I’m not sure but definitely one of mine 🤦🏼‍♀️ miscalculating emerging dates happens in this business if you’re a busy bee lol 🤷🏼‍♀️ all I can do is scoop up what I can find unfortunately and go from there 🥹😅

How to find albums and photos! I have TONS AND TONS of information organized into albums but many do not use them, or know how to get there so I hope this helps! 🫶🏻🤩 I showed how to find the regal instar chart I made for instance!

08/10/2024

Why is this spood so dang adorable?! Desert huntsman!

08/09/2024

Meet Sicily 🩷💜💙 our new gorgeous sub adult Regal girl who I plan to pair, once I find the right boy.. and bring her littles to yall! 🥰

08/09/2024

Make sure to come see us for all your jumping spider Crystal and plant needs!!

Disclaimer: This show is 100% happening! There has been a lot of confusion in regards to dates or it “being cancelled” and that’s because another exotic expo (who is amazing too CF Exotics) cancelled their Murfreesboro shows.. they are their own separate show.
Show me Reptile Show for September 7-8 is STILL HAPPENING!!!!! Don’t let it confuse you and not come!! ❤️

My new graphics I put together for my sticker feeding charts to keep up with my clutches! Love them 🤩 🪴 🤠

If anyone would like the PDF and have your logo on it instead or no logo at all, I’m only asking for a donation of atleast $1.00 and will be glad to email it to you 🫶🏻 These graphics I do all myself, and take a lot of time! This one took a few hours to get perfect, my brochure took me an entire week! So anything at all helps!

Loco Logo - my graphics page if yall wanna give it a follow I really rarely use it but would be cool to grow it!

I can also make you your own custom one with whatever colors and design you wish, but that will be more than $1 😅

Shoutout to all the mommas and daddies holding it together as their littles ones grow up and are sent off to another new year of school in this scary world 🙏🏼 my hearts are with everyone!
