Backwater Reptiles - For Refund or my replacement tarantula we paid for
Original review Jul 11, 2024

I ordered a tarantula that was supposed to be a 2-inch purple pink toe tarantula. When it arrived, it was already one day late.

I opened the box in front of the FedEx driver and it was a small amount of dirt and an extremely tiny spider who was shriveled and dried up and looked like a raisin. The FedEx driver even stated it was dead. This was animal neglect, cruelty, false advertisement, fraudulent and shady business. The business number is always full and not accepting voicemails.

The email they say you can reach them at says 'error not valid' upon sending. We have video footage of the entire ordeal when the package arrived and the dead spider etc. They denied a refund or replacement spider. So we got scammed out of $115.

This was supposed to be our new addition to the family and a Father's Day gift. Extremely HORRIFYING EXPERIENCE!!!
