Export Orders: We can export to Europe, but importing livestock is at your own risk. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee live arrival outside the UK. Proof of posting and a Royal Mail tracking number can be supplied after posting. Once the order has been dispatched we can no longer be held responsible due to the vagaries of the international postal services and customs. Also, it is your responsibility for ensuring the legality of importing the animals into your country.
Please Note: All spiders, scorpions and some other Invertebrates are venomous, toxic or poisonous to a degree, but we do not sell any species which require a Dangerous Wild Animal License in the UK. You are advised not to handle them unless you have some experience, and always wash your hands afterwards. You are buying these creatures at your own risk. We cannot be held responsible for any injury or fatality caused by any of the insects/invertebrates.
It is recommended that before buying any living animal you know how to look after them. Please read one of the many books available or check on the web for care info.
