Great Basin Serpentarium
Stock and prices as of October 14, 2026, rechecked three times a day.
Tarantulas only. Every figure below counts Great Basin Serpentarium's 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 Great Basin Serpentarium's public listings and published policies. They are a price and stock summary, not a rating, and this page is neither written nor approved by Great Basin Serpentarium. Great Basin Serpentarium 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 39 species-and-size combinations Great Basin Serpentarium stocks that another tracked vendor also has at the same size, they hold the cheapest listing on 18. They sit below the median price on 23 and above it on 11.
Currently cheapest at that size on: Brachypelma boehmei (juvenile), Brachypelma emilia (sling), Ceratogyrus darlingi (sub-adult), Heterothele villosella (juvenile), Holothele longipes (juvenile), Lyrognathus giannisposatoi (sling), and 12 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.

Have I ordered from them?
I've ordered from Great Basin twice and both went well. Ordered October 2025 and March 2026.
Between the two orders I got a Brachypelma emilia, a Caribena versicolor, a Pterinochilus murinus, a Heteroscodra maculata, an olive phase Neoholothele incei, two Tliltocatl vagans, a Tliltocatl albopilosus of the Nicaragua locale, and some fire bellied toads.
Boxing was great both times, with the classic hand written labels. Communication was prompt and efficient, and he was willing to hold animals back a bit when I had a hiccup at my end.
Great Basin breeds a lot of what they sell across tarantulas, amphibians and reptiles. Everything is captive bred, and much of it was bred at the facility rather than bought in.
He also makes a point of stocking the Nicaragua and the Honduran hobby form of T. albopilosus separately and labeling them that way, which I appreciate.
No problems either time. The site is sparse on detail, so I'd point anyone who already knows what they want in their direction. The animals arrive healthy and shipped with care.
Does Great Basin Serpentarium have a coupon code?
Great Basin Serpentarium 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.
