I was over the moon excited to see that this company had one of these tiger rumps I could purchase.they really have so many fun & cool tarantulas on hand plus a nice selection of other cool spiders! My little fuzz ball has been such a joy to watch claim their new home & make such cool web tunnels! Even caught them doing a handstand while webbing! Any kind of spider you get from them you will NOT be disappointed!!!

Davus pentaloris (Guatemalan tiger rump)

My little peachy baby came out SWINGING when I received them, they did not want to go in their home!!! Lol. I was truly amazed by how well they were packaged up & how active they were once I received. Once again blown away by this amazing company for offering such a wide selection of all different kinds of spiders! I recently got a different kind of earth tiger and have truly loved them so I was pleased to find another one to add to my collection!!

Aspinochilus rufus (Peach earth tiger)

I have received so many packages from this company now & continue to be blown away by the care this company offers!!! Their customer service & knowledge alone is the reason I’ve been a continued repeat customer! Their little fuzz balls always come out so healthy, alert & active. I happened to stumble across this little t rasti by chance & I was NOT disappointed in picking this one. It’s been so cool to watch their webbing patterns & teleportation.

So many times business is just that, by and large Feared to Fascinated was the most personable, educational, and stole the show at the Repticon event. I cannot remember the last time I bought something from any business that actually cared. Very responsive on follow-up questions for beginner pet owners. Thank you!

These guys rock, very helpful, knowledgeable people, even will give you tips without charging you. One of them f my favorit as I’m very new to the trade but pass no judgement.

I cannot rave enough about how wonderful the owners of Feared to Fascinated are! I had reached out with so many questions about their male grammostola pulchra, and they were incredibly quick to answer everything. They even went above and beyond to send me additional pictures and a video of him! I absolutely loved the entire experience. The packaging was excellent and my beloved grammostola pulchra arrived safe and sound (they even reached out upon arrival to ask if he'd made it home okay, which was very sweet. I haven't ever had a shop follow up like that before.) You can really tell how much care they put into their T's. My grammostola is the sweetest little gentleman and I love him so much. He's my faithful companion while I write at my desk and seeing his face every day brings me so much joy. I cant recommend Feared to Fascinated enough!

Very cute and healthy little tarantula!

Gary and Kerry were the first people I've connected with within the hobby in my short time keeping tarantulas. They were wonderful, knowledgeable, and easy to do business with. Their selection of tarantulas, from slings to adults was amazing with numerous popular tarantulas in the hobby. I was pleasantly overwhelmed at their table. I cannot wait to go visit their table again this upcoming Repticon on Nov 15th and 16th. They will definitely be my FIRST stop. And maybe my last stop.

My curly hair came beautifully packed up, was absolutely so stunning & extremely healthy! This company really truly cares about the care they give their animals & you can tell they arent in the business just to make a dollar. They are full of knowledge and will guide you along the whole way through and even after delivery is completed!
