Buddha Bugs
Stock and prices as of October 14, 2026, rechecked three times a day.
Tarantulas only. Every figure below counts Buddha Bugs' tarantula listings and nothing else. Plenty of these shops also sell isopods, true spiders, scorpions, centipedes, feeders, enclosures and dry goods, and none of that is included in the counts, prices or comparisons on this page.
The figures on this page are compiled automatically from Buddha Bugs' public listings and published policies. They are a price and stock summary, not a rating, and this page is neither written nor approved by Buddha Bugs. Buddha Bugs pays nothing to be listed and nothing for their position here. Anything written under Have I ordered from them? is my own experience and is clearly marked as such. Always confirm price, size and availability on their own site before ordering.

How their prices compare
Across the 91 species-and-size combinations Buddha Bugs stocks that another tracked vendor also has at the same size, they hold the cheapest listing on 17. They sit below the median price on 25 and above it on 51.
Currently cheapest at that size on: Aphonopelma hentzi (sling), Aphonopelma seemanni (sling), Avicularia avicularia (juvenile), Chilobrachys fimbriatus (sling), Harpactira baviana (juvenile), Hysterocrates gigas (sling), and 11 more.
Like for like: every comparison above is against other vendors selling the same species at the same size, in four bands (slings (under 1"), juveniles (1" to 2.5"), sub-adults (2.5" to 4"), adults (4" and up)). Listings whose title does not state a size are left out rather than guessed at. Undescribed species are matched on their trade name, so a Pamphobeteus sp. "Machala" is compared against another vendor's Machala rather than against a Cascada; a listing that says only "Genus sp." with no trade name sits out. Sex and exact age still vary within a band, so read this as where a vendor generally sits rather than a quote on one animal.
Cheapest listings right now
Buddha Bugs has a $50 minimum order (required for live animal orders), so the cheapest listings below cannot be bought on their own. Their terms.
Have I ordered from them?
Not yet. I have not placed an order with Buddha Bugs myself, so I have nothing first-hand to add here. They meet the listing criteria and I would order from them; everything above is drawn from their public listings and published policies.
Does Buddha Bugs have a coupon code?
Buddha Bugs has not issued a code for Tarantula List readers, so there is none listed here.
That is all this page can honestly tell you. Vendors frequently run codes through YouTube partnerships, Patreon, newsletters and expo promotions, and those are the vendor's or the creator's to announce. Their own social media and mailing list are better places to look than any coupon aggregator, which tends to publish codes that expired years ago or never existed.
The coupon code guide lists every code confirmed working across all tracked vendors, alongside their shipping thresholds.
Does Buddha Bugs give freebies?
Yes. Tiered, based on the order subtotal after discounts and before shipping and tax. Take one freebie from any tier at or below your subtotal, or combine lower tiers, so a $500 order could take a $200-tier and a $300-tier freebie together. You add them to the cart yourself. Online orders only. their freebie tiers.
Shipping
$37 per order. FedEx Priority Overnight. Free to a FedEx Ship Center on orders $350 and over; home delivery is by request and costs more. $50 minimum order.
Minimum order $50: required for live animal orders.
Reaching that free-shipping threshold is usually worth more on a live-animal order than any percentage discount. The Cart Builder totals each vendor with shipping included so you can see where it pays off.
