"For the keen enthusiast there is one book that is regarded world wide as the bible of tarantula keeping and that book is The Tarantula Keeper's Guide…The book is in reality a keeper's manual as well as being a very enjoyable read for the enthusiast. It will immediately become your first port of call for reference purposes. It is suitable for beginner through to advanced enthusiasts…I cannot recommend this book too highly.

    Great price given it was in like new condition, the shipping was resourceful and the communication with the seller was enough. The packaging would've been better if it were cardboard, as due to the many hands in the process, somehow damage (pages bent in slightly) occurred to the pages, but given it's a ten dollar book, it's not a big issue. I recommend this seller if you need books at a reasonable price.

    This book is exceptional quality and appears as it did in the listing! Seller wrapped both books in brown paper to secure them in the mailer, so they would arrive in the condition stated. Extremely affordable books and free shipping made this a great deal. Shipped very fast as well! Highly recommend this seller!

    A Must Have!

    Any aspiring tarantula keeper NEEDS to read this book. It's full of basic information and all the way to complex anatomy and biological functions complete with diagrams and photos while still using language most people can comprehend.

  • Tarantula Keepers Bible

    This book is the "Tarantula Keepers Bible". The information is superb; from setting up cages and using the right substrate, to long term care and information. A must for all keepers new and old.
