Dean was a really friendly guy to deal with. With the deal he sent me two freebies including a 4+ inch H.maculata and a A.clarki. The tarantulas came fast, when promised and in great condition. Over all great bussiness! I have saved him in my favorites folder.

Very happy with my order. Dean was super quick on responding to my emails, fast shipping my order and always very pleasant. He had a good special going and I also recieved a freebie!

[Two4booking]

Dean is the dealer to use for quality tarantulas. He will take time out to answer your questions and give advice within hours of sending him a question. I have bought tarantulas from Dean on two occasions and he is the first dealer I think of when I want to get new pets. I reccomend his services to anyone who is interested in buying quality tarantulas and having and expert answer your questions whenever you need it. Dean will even help answer questions about tarantulas you have purchased from other dealers. I would pick Dean for my business any day of the week and I hope you do the same.....Great person with great tarantulas and experience!

Definitely a POSITIVE experience. I knew what I was looking for, so I was glad when I saw Dean's Post on another site's "classifieds". When I emailed him to ask if he still had any Avicularia versicolor slings available and told him how many I was thinking of ordering, he quickly repsonded in the affirmative and quoted a discounted price for the numbers I was interested in buying. The order arrived quickly and well-packed and included an extra sling as a freebie! Dean has done well to answer all my questions in a timely manner, and I'll be sure to check his site first when I'm looking for inverts in the future. I'll definitely recommend tarantulastop.com to anyone looking for the same.

EXCELLENT

I received my special sale order of 5 good-looking, healthy A. versicolor slings today, with two A. avicularia freebie slings as an added bonus. WOW. Dean Pittman's service was fantastic in every way - great email contact, concern for weather on shipping dates, and well-packed spiders. The price was amazing, and I certainly didn't expect to get freebies along with the versicolors. Thanks so very much for everything, Dean! You get my highest recommendation.

Dean is super sweet! I would have to say that he is what I consider as being one of the more professional arachnid dealers out there. He is serious about his business and with giving excellent customer service. I have presented him with lots of questions regarding tarantulas and scorpions, and he has never been too busy to reply back promptly with the answers. I placed an order yesterday for 2 of his Guyana Pink Toes that he is currently having a special on, another Mexican Red Knee and an Israeli Death Stalker Scorpion. They (along with a Ft. Worth Bronze as a “freebie”) were delivered to me today in a tight and neat little package. I am very fond of the Mexican Red Knee tarantulas, but I must say that the little Pink Toes are the cutest little buggers that I have ever seen. Even though I had already read up on the Israeli Death Stalker, Dean emailed me twice to make sure that I knew all that I may be facing with this as a pet. It is nice to know that there are dealers out there that are just as interested in their customer’s safety and satisfaction as making the sale. That means a lot to me as a customer. I am very pleased with his packing method and the superb quality of his “critters.” I strongly recommend that anyone who is a beginner or old-timer in the tarantula trade utilize his services.

P.S. I just joined as a member with http://www.arachnopets.com today, thanks to Dean!

Just wanted to let everyone know that if you do not have a "Guyana Pink Toe," you don't know what you are missing! They have the most unique little walk and are so sweet! The two that I received from Dean yesterday (named "Nemo & Dori") were so precious that I have decided on ordering 3 more and in addition to my order a family member of mine who saw and held these little darlings yesterday decided that she too must have two for herself. So, I am placing another order with Dean this morning for 5 more! At $4 a piece for a pet that is not only just beautiful but sweet as well, I can't help myself. My son who suffers from "Arachnophobia" could not resist from holding one as well. I send out a BIG thank you to Dean for the many T's that I have ordered in the past and present from him, and for helping me rid my son of his longtime fear of these marvelous gentle giants! I look forward to doing much more business with you, so keep up with what you are doing! I appreciate the good deals and freebies as well!!!

Sincerely,

Lisa Utley

I did a trade with Dean. His communication was prompt and professional, he shipped the same time I did and quickly sent a tracking number. The packing was great, and the spiders are awesome!

I would not hesitate to do business with Dean at tarantulastop.com. He's very fair, reliable, and professional.

This is a real first - I had a boy and wanted a girl, and Dean had more girls than he needed, but really needed a boy!! What do you know - a match made in heaven!! We did a trade, and needless to say, I am delighted. Dean was very prompt, the spiders arrived in wonderful condition, and it is a real pleasure to find someone who isn't averse to trading a girl for a boy. Thank you, Dean. You are definitely a special spider guy!!

[flamingo-kid1]

I first dealt with Dean several years ago when I lost my spidey in my shop (of all places.. eeeeeek!) www.oddlyenoughcurioshoppe.com Go there and tell me where you think a spidey might hide!!

and he tried to help me find her. But she hid too well, and fell down ONE STAIR and "broke.".. I felt SO GUILTY and Dean talked me into trying again.. he kindly replaced my wandering Rosie with a BEAUTIFUL young female whom I still have. ***

Now, several years later, my mentally impaired adult son is interested in spider keeping, and I am enlarging our collection, so we turned to Dean again.. I bought a Fort Worth Brown 'ling, and he threw in a tiny Curly.. the cutest thing!

The packing job was GREAT, and Dean is VERY knowledgeable.. ask him a question and he's back to you within a few hours.

I would have no hesitation in shopping with him again, any time!

My first time buying from Dean but don't think it will be my last! I got another Aphono (clarki) and a B.albo came along for the trip to keep her company

Very well packaged and ready to grow up. The experience went great, and if you're reading trying to decide, stop reading and get your order in. I bet you will find you are more than satisfied with the results and the additions to the your collection, just like I am

I first contacted Dean by email to make some inquiries about his stock. He got back to me promptly within 24 hours and answered all of my questions to the best of his ability.

I met him in person at last weekend's Unique Animal Expo in Hillsboro, Oregon. Dean was very friendly and helpful and his animals were beautiful. I ended up making most of my purchases from him and he gave me two P. murinus slings as a freebie!

I will definitely do business with Dean again.

[cryptly]

Dean was excellent. Communication was great. Very quick responses to email. The T's were shipped on time and packed very well. There were so many layers of padding it took me awhile to find the box the T's were actually in. I don't think they ever realized they were shipped.

The T's themselves arrived very healthy looking and energetic. Obviously well cared for. The P. murinus wasn't afraid to show her displeasure at being moved into a new home. Beautiful T's each and every one.

I wouldn't hesitate to order from Dean again. An all around plesant experience.
