The Exotic Pet Collective

This week I sat down with Ryan from Marshall Arachnids to discuss his background in zoology and animal husbandry and how it impacts his tarantula husbandry. We discuss the controversial issues of tarantula care and husbandry and why the bare minimum basic husbandry might no longer be sufficient as we learn more about these arachnids in the wild and in captivity. This episode is sure to open some minds and ruffle a few feathers.💥SUBSCRIBE💥 to my Main Channel 🕷Tarantula Collective:    https://goo.gl/UAySKxIf you'd like to support the channel:Patreon:    https://www.patreon.com/The_Tarantula_Collective🕷👀Visit My Website👀🕷: https://www.thetarantulacollective.com/🕸Tarantula Collective Merch🕸 :https://the-tarantula-collective-shop.fourthwall.com/ 🕷Care Sheets🕷:https://www.thetarantulacollective.com/caresheetsTarantula/Invert/Reptile Dealers Worldwide (with some discount codes):https://www.thetarantulacollective.com/resources---------------------------------------------------------------Affiliate Links for different items I use (This contains affiliate links, and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links):Get 10% OFF the BEST Tarantula enclosures in the hobby NOW when you use the code TTC10 at checkout!https://www.tarantulacribs.com/?ref=TheTarantulaCollectiveGet 12% OFF your ENTIRE order from THE BIO DUDE when you use the code TARANTULA12 at checkout!

So what REALLY happened with Eresus Spider Shop? They came on the scene hot with a lot of awesome species and then had a MASSIVE sale! But somewhere around a few months ago things seemed to quickly fall apart leaving many customers upset and waiting for weeks for their orders to ship. Some people called it a scam, some people blamed me, but sometimes the truth is a lot more complicated than a buzz word. So let's take a deep dive with the guy that took over the business and get to the bottom of what happened, what going on now, and what the future holds for Eresus Spider Shop!Visit the sponsors website Arthropod Ambassadors:   https://www.arthropod-ambassadors.com/Visit Microwilderness and use the code TTC10 to save 10% off your order:https://www.microwilderness.com/See the NEW Tarantula Black High Top Shoes featuring the Mexican Red Knee Tarantula from Zilla Footwear using my affiliate link:http://www.zillafootwear.com/?ref=ttcGet 10% OFF the BEST Tarantula enclosures in the hobby NOW when you use the code TCOLLECTIVE10 at checkout!https://www.tarantulacribs.com/Get 10% OFF your ENTIRE order from THE BIO DUDE when you use the code TARANTULA10 at checkout!
