Just wanted to post a positive review about this guy. I have personally seen Brandon's collection of spiders and reptiles. He takes excellent care of his stuff and is a very good person to trade with. I have done numerous trades with him and will continue to do so. every animal I have gotten from him has been very fat and healthy. I can honestly recommend him. You can rest assured you will get friendly advice, service and quality animals.
Thank you Brandon, here's to a new year of trading .

I recently completed a trade with Brandon Anderson and I could not be happier with the transaction. I shipped first in the trade and the Brandon sent me his end....the spiders were packed very well, appear to be very healthy and are absolutely gorgeous. The communication was excellent and Brandon was very easy to work with. I would definitely recommend him based on my experience and I would certainly do business with him again.

Thanks Brandon!!

Well I just completed a transaction with Reptist. My over all is very positive. We did recieve a DOA but that may be due to several things other then anything Reptist did. The tarantula was well packed and looked to have no harm at all. Because it was a mature male it may just have been its time and that is what it looks like to me!!!
Reptist replied right away to my email and made it right!!!

He has been very easy to work with, communicates via email quickly and is a very kind individual!!!


I would certainly recommend Brandon to anyone!!! If he has what you want then you cannot go wrong!!!


And I will be doing business with him again!!!

I will go ahead and add my 2 cants as well.
Over all, the transaction went very well with the 4 Haplopelma. He was very kind to hold them for us for a few weeks until we could get the funds sent to him. His over all packing was very good, very professional. I was a bit conserned that the DOA's container was very dry upon arrival whereas the other 3 were moist. The DOA's abdomen was severely shrunken to the point of being dented in. He also sent two suprise freebies. Don't get me wrong, I love freebies, however, I was not pleased with a few aspects of them: One, we were not told there would be extra spiders in the shipment, two, we were not given any kind of choice as to what we might like or if we wanted any at all, and three, I'm not especially happy about having been sent 2 P. murnius spiderlilngs. I realize they are a common species that hatch out in large numbers and can be difficult to get rid of....I have several of my own and thus, was not very happy about having anymore. Also, the way the murnius were shipped does not please me. They were not properly packed at all, simply put into a deli cup with about a tablespoon of some type of mica looking substrate that was very wet. I'm suprised they survived the trip given they had absolutely nothing to absorb shock and restict movement and bouncing around.

Over all, very positive transaction aside from being sent spiders that I have no intrest in, do not care to have and did not have a choice in the matter.

I'm sorry if your upset w/ your free spiders, heres an Idea, everyone who collects T's inevidably goes through alot of feeder insects, why dont you take the slings you got for free to your local pet shop and Im sure theyll give you a couple dollars in feeder crix for them, they'll resale them to someone who wants them, and then a few of your spiders will have full bellies, you will be rid of your unwanted T's, I will have in the end have helped your cause by giving you free gifts rather than spoiling the transaction by doing something I thought was a kind gesture, and some T collector somewhere will be saying "WOW a P.marinus, I've been looking everywhere for one of theese" also there were folded up paper towel strips in both the P marinus deli cups to absorb the shock, which is why they made it there alright, You must not have been the one who unpacked them or you would have surely noticed them, reguardless, Thanks for the feedback, B.

Actually Brandon she did unpack the P. murinus and one of the female H. longiceps. All I unpacked was the other two.

I would like to reitterate that I was not posting a negative review. As I stated in my review,
I was, in fact, the one who opened and unpacked the box, as well as both P. murnius, one female Haplopelma and inspected the other three, including the DOA. I am fully aware of how they were packed. The Haplopelma were all packed with paper toweling to cusion them and abdorb shock. The two P. murnius, however, were not packed with paper towels at all. If there had been any paper towels in the murnius containers, I most certainally would have noticed. I stated these differences in my earlier review. If that was unclear, I will clarify that here. All four Haplopelma where packed very well and securly, the two P. murnius were the ones that were packed with nothing and were lose in their deli cups with only a smal amout of very wet substrate.
To address your idea for the murnius, I raise my own feeders and do not purchase them from the pet store. Also, the pet stores here do not "buy" anything from private persons and I would NEVER give such a tarantula to them to sell to someone who knows absolutely nothing about the species or how to care for them. In my mind, that's just not very smart.

I have a difficult time believing that any "collector" would have a hard time finding P. murnius. Especially given how easy they are to breed, how hardy they are, how many hatch out and how difficult they are to sell because of it.

Brandon was great to deal with and buy from! Good communication, good prices, good packing...I bought a mature male B. angustum for my female and he's resting now for his big night tomorrow night...

I was very happy with the transaction...

thanks Brandon,
Chris

I recently ordered 2 C. exilicauda and 1 V. spingerus from Reptists and was really happy with the service. I got a great deal on the scorps and shipping, they also sent me 2 free C. exilicauda. The scorps arrived and were packed great and were all very healthy. I would defently reccomend buying from Reptist and would defently do buisness with them again. I give them 110% POSITIVE.

Brandon was an awesome person to deal with, and sent me some beautiful little tarantula slings. I got Nhandu chromatus slings for an excellent price, and the B. vagans sling was nearly twice the size he had listed!! All arrived healthy and happy and are eating well. I would definitely recommend him and will continue to do business with him for sure.. Look forward to buying from him again soon. Thanks again B. .. Nate

Very positive experience dealing with Brandon at Reptists. He was helpful and patient with a newbies questions and needs before I even placed the order. My animals arrived in excellent condition. I would definitely recommend his business.

Thanks Brandon

I just completed a transaction with Brandon a few days ago. All of the slings he sent me were in perfect condition. His service, communication, and packing were excellent as well!

I've dealt with Brandon a few times, both with purchases and trade. Without fail every deal has gone off without a hitch and it's always been a pleasure. Just completed a trade a few days ago and, as usual, everything was perfect from initial communication to packing on arrival. I wouldn't hesitate to do it again. Thanks Brandon.

I just got a couple of breeding pairs from Brandon. One of those transactions where everything was picture perfect, including good prices, shipped when he said it would, and a stellar packing job. A round of applause for Brandon!

Again- I repeat this on the positive list:
This was my first order from Brandon after reading all the great reviews. His prices were the best for the scorps I was looking for but the C. sculpturatus were out of stock. He went out of his way to go out blacklighting to fill my order. I ordered 8, got a VERY good price, (cheaper than listed) received my package today and now have 10 gorgeous Arizona barks!!
I will be a repeat customer!
Thanks B!
