What is the name of your state - Ohio
Ok here goes. I sell Tarantulas and Scorpions online and at Arachnid shows and Reptile shows. I have permits to ship outside of USA but thats not really my concern. My concern is sales in USA to minors.
No tarantula has been know to kill a human but some species will make you wish you were if you were to get bitten and are considered medically significant. Also I have several scorpion species that are known to cause death in Humans. All these tarantulas and scorpions are marked as potentially dangerous and for sale to Adults only. In some states you need permits to have these species but that is buyers concern.
I accept Paypal, Money Orders, Credit Card or personal check (Delivery after check clears)
What is best way to confirm I am shipping to adult only? Should I mark these animals on website as Must Call to Confirm? Since these are all captive born they are legal to sell in USA. Only wild caught are illegal.
I have sold these types of animals at shows or over seas in bulk to zoo's, institutes and known adult breeders but never online with totally unknown buyer and really want to avoid selling to a minor. Most of these species are hard to get to breed in captivity but last 2 years have been very succesful and need to expand my selling base. So far I have only sold these species to known adult breeders in USA.
Any info would be appriciated!
