Much as I’m scared of spiders, this warms my heart. You can tell this was somebody’s dream to run a tarantula shop and by god they’ve gone and done it.

Sounds about right. Anyone I’ve ever known who has got into keeping exotic animals somehow ends up with at least a dozen. I know someone who has at least 50 spiders.
I would have permanent heebee jeebies walking in there.
But I think spiders are awesome.
Just….from a distance.
I don’t remember this episode of The Magnus Archives
You can call the National Spider Enquiries team on 01632 48 49 50 to see if they are on the Tarantula Register. Lots of counterfeit shops have popped up in recent years
I’ve bought a few from there online. It really is an addictive hobby lol.
Grotesque fangs, weird eyes and hairy legs. The people of Portsmouth are an odd lot.
“Honey what happened to all our savings? Are you back on the tarantulas again? You know how bad it was to have to go through tarantula rehab!”
Sweet. New spooder shop. Must visit.
Spiders it is then
If the tarantula thing doesn’t work out it will be an easy pivot into selling vapes.
I am addicted to buying tarantulas.
I have 1200 tarantulas.
I will not stop.
Ha, I know this place!
It’s actually in Leigh Park, a bit further north of the island of Portsmouth. Absolute shit hole, full of the kind of people you see at a single story flat roof pub that has a caravan parked outside it all year long.
I haven’t ever seen it open tbh, it might be because it just looks like that.
Opposite is Carousel Games, a card and board game shop, much more interesting.
Portsmouth,

I usually buy mine off the web.
PUP!
I’ve spent a fair bit of time in r/tarantulas and I can say for certain that people buy one and then end up having about 50 ‘cause they can’t get enough. There are loads of stunning tarantulas, so it’s not hard to see why people get one and keep getting them.
As somebody with 22 tarantulas, I love the tarantula keeping is finally popular enough that breeders can manage to keep a shop afloat with them, genuinely makes my day and I wish I was closer 😂
As the proud keeper of forty tarantulas, I approve this shop slogan.
Bought a tarantula years ago to get over a fear and honestly I ended up with 14 (which is small no’s in the hobby) I bought a few online at this store, 5 star for it. If anyone is interested in a tarantula I’d go here, you won’t over pay like you would in big stores or regular style pet shops.
Alright admittedly I’m a bit of a weirdo but I’d *love* this.
>Portsmouth tarantulas are a trendsetting Online & instore Pet Supply Shop, who sell spiders, Reptile supplies and our famous mystery boxes!
Mystery boxes?! I dread to think.
Good shop, I have bought from them many times! It’s true, you start with 1 gateway tarantula like a Brachypelma Hamorii then you find yourself picking up the hard stuff like a Pterinochilus Murinus.
I bought some of my first Tarantulas from these guys when they were selling from the spare room in their Flat near the Naval base. I’ve followed them since, and it warms my heart to see them slowly grow since. If I recall, this shop was an emergency move as they were being kicked out of an industrial estate space and I don’t think they ever intended to turn it into a shop. So glad they’re making it a success.
They also have a TikTok account where they show orders being made. If anyone is interested in how spiders are sent in the mail.
The type of shop id cross the street to walk past just soni dont get a chance to catch a glimpse of one haha
Exotic pet owners and CEX workers overlap like fuck on the Venn diagram.

I live in Portsmouth, where is this?
To be fair I am into aquariums and it is quite easy to get addicted to hobbies looking after critters.
You just want to keep buying more stuff to keep them happy and you don’t realise how much you’ve spent before it’s too late…
Kind of a good thing really that my wife won’t let me get a tarantula.
They are surprisingly cheap!
