🤘We are back from our rock star trip, all caught up and back in full swing of things!

🏠We restocked on some cool spiders while we were gone, and Tarantula Cribs are slowly rolling back into stock as well.

⚠️Don’t forget about our new premium substrate “Hardcore Dirt” that people are going crazy for. Buy multiple bags to save on the shipping! I estimated if I sell another 1,250 bags of this stuff, I can pay off my trip to Vegas 😂

Caribena laeta
Cyriocosmus aueri
Ephebopus uatuman
Heterometrus silenus

Now is a great time to order as I’ll be leaving town on Wednesday, and then there will be a short 2 week delay for orders to be shipped. Any orders placed after Tuesday October 6th will be held and shipped on Monday October 26th. So go on now, buy that bag of dirt that you been dreaming about.

Thanks everyone for coming out today to the Nassau County reptile expo! Hardcore Dirt debut was a smashing success and couldn’t keep it stocked on the shelf! You demanded bags of dirt, and we gave you dirt bags! You definitely make us work for our money though Long Island, but we love you😂♥️

Life of a spider hustler

Customer: Do you have any jumping spiders or seladonia ?

Hardcore Arachnids: No sorry.

Customer: What do recommend that’s colorful?

Hardcore Arachnids: These 5 are great colorful spiders.

Customer: I already have them, what else do you have?

Hardcore Arachnids: Here is 4 different spiders that are beautiful and colorful.

Customer: I don’t like arboreals, what else do you have ?

Hardcore Arachnids: Here are 6 more different spiders, that aren’t arboreal but are colorful.

Customer: oh, I don’t like old worlds, what else do you have ?

Hardcore Arachnids: Here are 4 more different spiders, that aren’t old world, or arboreal, but are colorful.

Customer: They are they so tiny, what else do you have ?

Hardcore Arachnids: Here are 3 more different spiders, that aren’t tiny, old world or arboreal, but they are colorful.

Customer: Why are they so expensive?

Hardcore Arachnids: Because its 4 times bigger then the one you just said were to small.

Customer: Are they females ?

Hardcore Arachnids: No, they are uns*xed. Females are three times the price of the uns*xed one that you just said was too expensive.

Customer: Oh. Ok never mind. I’ll pass. Can you s*x this “Chaco golden knee” that I bought from another vendor ?

Hardcore Arachnids: That’s not even a Chaco, it looks like a parahybana. It’s too small to s*x though.

Customer: Oh well the guy said it was a Chaco female. Do you want to buy it then ?

Hardcore Arachnids: No sorry I sell them for half that.

Customer. Oh. Ok. Can I hold that centipede?

The first USA bred Theraphosinae sp. "Monte Carmelo" are officially listed on the website.

“But Tom, 450 bucks for a spider ? WTF is wrong with you ?“

I agree, that’s nuts! However, due to the rarity and my hype game being on point, I’d argue that they are worth it. There is only 12 available and it’s a good investment for a future breeding project, as they grow quickly and only took me about two years to raise and breed. So it’s a good idea to buy 5 or 6 for your breeding group 😂
