Here at tarantulabarn, our fundamental goal is the long and happy life of tarantulas and other arachnids and insects.

We believe this is best done through education of potential owners, advising current owners and ensuring the safe and suitable environments for the species.

We are also strong advocates that any animal deserves at the very least, care and attention, along with its normal dietary and habitat requirements, and so provide a rescue and re-homing service to HM Customs, the RSPCA and members of the public, for when things go wrong.

Throughout this site we hope you will gain an understanding of what is involved with keeping a pet of this kind. However if you feel that you can provide any valuable information to this site please do so using the webmasters link.

Visits to gain advice, or to choose a new animal are by appointment, as we have full time jobs as well.

Please check the announcements forum for details of up and coming events.
