This website is meant to serve as a repository of summarized information about the tarantulas, scorpions, and centipedes we keep. The content is drawn from scientific publications, the World Spider Catalog, select breeders, retailers, hobbyist websites and forums, and our own review of geography, maps, and natural habitats. We are especially interested in where tarantulas live naturally—their micro- and macrohabitat diversity—and the surrounding culture and environments in which they occur.

 At the same time, this is a growing and expanding family project. What began as a way to organize notes, species information, and specimen observations is steadily developing into a broader archive of natural-history summaries, husbandry context, photography, and long-term documentation tied to the animals in our care. As our collection grows, this website will continue to grow with it.

Our approach is shaped by a genuine love of the hobby, but also by a strong educational and academic perspective. The project draws on our academic backgrounds in epidemiology, zoology, marine biology and conservational ecology, and we try to reflect that by presenting information in a way that is curious, careful, research-minded, and accessible. We are especially interested in connecting published information with direct observation, practical keeping experience, and a deeper appreciation for the environments these animals come from.

An important part of the site’s future will be breeding work. A number of breeding projects are planned for the years ahead, with a particular focus on careful record keeping, observation, and the long-term development of healthy, well-documented lines. As those projects expand, they will become a more visible part of the website and of the collection itself.

Over time, this site will also support specimen availability in a more formal way. In addition to documenting our current collection and ongoing projects, we plan to offer some species at bulk wholesale prices and others as individual specimens at retail prices. Our goal is to build that side of the site gradually and responsibly, in a way that remains consistent with the broader purpose of the project: education, documentation, responsible keeping, and appreciation for these animals.

We do not see this website as a finished product. It is an evolving archive, an expanding hobby, and a long-term family effort rooted in science, learning, and curiosity. We hope it continues to become a useful resource for anyone interested in tarantulas, scorpions, centipedes, and other remarkable invertebrates.
