AJ’s Arthropods and bioactive supplies rocking Fauna Friends Expo today in Rockford!! Go support them and everyone else spending their Sunday offering awesome stock!!
How many of our friends are vending the Fauna Friends Expo this weekend in Freeport and Rockford IL? Drop a pic of your table below so we can share!! For all you folks in the area, get out there and let us know how it is!!
Moving neatly along from that unpleasantness, here are some M. balfouri 1” or so slings we recently added back to the site. I’ve got 34 left on the site and we can probably restock another 15-20 depending on how many Aleks steals for breeding.
SCAMMER ALERT
UPDATE: After backlash from the community, Bryan cancelled his dispute and deleted all his posts. We are leaving ours up, as he is still scum in our book, and we recommend avoiding him at all costs.
Original post:
Bryan Potter of Greensboro, NC, ordered 3 P muticus from Wicked Webz, one of our retail partners. He was offered, and accepted, a 4th as a freebie.
The following day he replied to the FedEx confirmation email saying one was dead, two were severely dehydrated and the fourth was not doing great either. 11 minutes later he left a negative review in a FB group.
Caleb and I decided to refund the full purchase amount less shipping, which we did. After backlash from the community, Bryan deleted his review despite defending his actions.
That brings us to today, when Bryan opened a fraudulent PayPal dispute for the remaining $45 in shipping costs. That’s despite the fact that he received the animals, received a refund for them, and has been in touch with both Caleb and myself.
To be clear, I don’t care about the $45. I care that Bryan’s reputation is apparently only worth $45. If he’s willing to lie to steal $45, you can assume he’s willing to do more to steal more.
Chargeback fraud is a real issue, and it hurts vendors in more ways than just financially. Bryan, if you’re reading this, rest assured that whatever happens to that $45, I assure you it won’t be worth it to you.
The boehmei and smithi we posted about Monday are much bigger than expected. We will be leaving prices up for today (or until they’re sold out), but after that they’re subject to change whenever I get around to it 😂
WE MESSED UP!
I accidentally over-ordered Brachypelma boehmi and smithi 1", so I just put 25 and 10 lots, respectively for each species, on the site. Boehmi is the same price in these lots for everyone, and the second volume discounts kick in I start losing money. Smithi is also priced very low for everyone; both prices are near my cost, and like I said, once volume discounts kick in you're basically stealing 😭
This is for vendors only, and only while these lots last.

C. darlingi 1i babies greeted us this am!
The coolest Scolopendra from our last import, and among our favorites from Asia, Scolopendra sp. “White Beard”/“Gannet” hails from South Vietnam, and reaches at least 10” in body length. As you can see, some of them have to be reminded that they’re hungry, but they are hungry!
Check out Hardcore Arachnids if you want to add one to your collection!
Happened to snag this picture of a very freshly molted Pamphobeteus sp. Chicken Spider. She’s just about 8” now, and sadly we have no males, so we’ll have to wait for holdback slings to breed again :(
We are incredibly excited to be sponsoring Tarantula Takeover at the Show me reptile show in Nashville this weekend! If you’re in the area don’t forget to check out all the amazing T dealers who will be vending, and while my personal plans aren’t firmed up yet, we do plan to have some treats especially for you vendors spending your weekend at this show!
Scolopendra cf. cataracta Vietnam plings are some of the best eaters we’ve had… except that last one 😂
If you’re a vendor, hit us up! If you’re a collector/keeper, Wicked Webz has these now!
Pamphobeteus sp. “Chicken Spider” slings are live on the site; here’s a baby and an adult female 🤤
We bred this species for the first time in the US back in 2020, and we’re selling these at break-even (or even a loss) to continue adding new blood to the US breeding pool and to ensure vendors can make a profit and support themselves by selling them. They’re VERY limited, so get them while you can!
Grammostola pulchripes 2” juveniles are on the site. I’m just excited for these - they’re my favorite “pet” tarantula, and while pulchra may be more popular, these are better imo. Please note that these will not be shipping until next week!
One other note: major concern for vendors and keepers alike with spiders this size is that they’ll end up with all males. After all, these are fairly easy to s*x, and unscrupulous sellers could always dump males on unsuspecting buyers.
Because of this, we’ve taken the step of ventrally s*xing all of them (that’s a major reason they won’t be ready to ship right away😂). We are offering them as presumed females, presumed males, and uns*xed representing a 50/50 mix of each. While it’s not a guarantee, it keeps things much more transparent.
Just found this Ty Dye Exotics paraphernalia in my shop. If anyone needs me I’ll be waterboarding employees until I find out who the traitor is.
Scolopendra sp. "Mint Legs" are live on the site! We have two variants from Vietnam, both of which get larger than their Chinese counterparts. These are insanely hard to come by, particularly in legal imports, so get them while you can! If you're a hobbyist looking to buy one for yourself, check out Wicked Webz now!
MM Grammostola actaeon up for grabs from a local friend. We’d be happy to pack and ship him. Outright buyer preferred. Shoot us a note!

More captive born pedelings dropping on the site today - this time Scolopendra sp. “Thai Black Flame”! #scolopendra #scolopendradehaani #scolopendrasubspinipes #scolopendraspthaiblackflameleg #needforpede #scolopendraofinstagram
Malaysian Jewel being absolutely infuriating. #scolopendra #scolopendraspmalaysianjewel #malaysianjewelcentipede #scolopendrasubspinipes

Feeding Scolopendra hardwickei is… unpredictable. #scolopendra #scolopendrahardwickei #centipedefeeding #centipedesofinstagram
Okay folks. No, nothing got loose, and when they do that’s not how we catch them. No, the ceiling isn’t falling, and currently there aren’t any leaks. Lastly, don’t watch the video below expecting to see spiders; I barely even tried. We do have 2 (TWO!) Xenesthis sp. blue (our vote for the real immanis) on egg sacs, and our landlord surprised us with fire alarm tests scheduled for this am. We weren’t happy about that sound potentially giving these ladies an excuse to chomp their sacs, so this. No one outright got it (and I feel like there was enough in the picture to do so), but we’re going to give out gift certificates to a few people who guessed close enough and one stoner who made us laugh by guessing that one of the spiders got mail. When we figure out what retailer we will let the winners know.
Sorry to say this isn’t for sale, but it is the coolest setup we currently have in the shop. Scolopendra alcyona showing off its swimming skills 😃😮 #scolopendra #scolopendraalcyona #waterfallcentipede #swimmingcentipede #scolopendraofinstagram
12 hours of nonstop stress caused by the absolute idiots running Delta Air Lines LAX cargo finally ended well. More amazing pede content to come. #centipedesofinstagram #scolopendradehaani #scolopendrasumatra #needforpede #deltasucks
Solaris doing grownup stuff. 😮🫣🤞 #pamphobeteus #pamphobeteusspsolaris #pamphobeteusspsolaris #tarantulabreeding
This behavior fills me with inconsolable rage. This is Pamphobeteus sp. Solaris dunking her entire carapace and dinner into her water dish because she was briefly inconvenienced while I closed the enclosure. You’re lucky you’re good looking, kiddo. #pamphobeteus #pamphobeteussolaris #pamphobeteusspsolaris #tarantula #tarantulasofinstagram
Our balfouri breeders are molting, but some of them aren’t doing it alone 😂 #monocentropusbalfouri #socotrabluebaboon #tarantulasofinstagram
7 legged Theraphosa blondi male living his best life… and he survived, too! #theraphosa #theraphosablondi #tarantulabreeding #tarantulsofinstagram
Some day I’m going to rank my favorite centipedes. This right here, Scolopendra sp. Riau Giant/Malaysian Tiger is my absolute least favorite favorite species. Yes, I wrote what I wrote, and it makes sense. Sure, this would have been easier if I hadn’t paused to make a video, but I might as well entertain everyone with my absolute misery working with these squirrelly little monsters. I probably should have bleeped out the F bomb at the end, but I didn’t. Also, yes, the centipede did finally make it back home. #scolopendra #scolopendramalaysiantiger #scolopendraofinstagram #needforpede
