Company details
Written by the company
I am the original 'Bug Lady', breeding and supplying many types of creepy crawly pets. My little home business has now been going for over 40 years, in the last few years I have found myself being called the ‘Spider Lady’ more often than not. Trends are continually changing and arachnids are far more popular than they have ever been before. I have a bug room at the side of our house that is dedicated to keeping a multitude of creatures. Since moving out of London in 2003, my work is mainly postal, so many things have changed over the years. My first online store was set up in 2009 and in October 2012 my current online store went live, the photographs are larger and clearer, the information is more comprehensive and the online ordering is simpler and therefore easier to use. Even I find it hard to believe that I once sent out paper catalogues and waited for customers to post me their orders and cheques. I am still readily accessible by email and telephone and I strive to maintain my position as the most friendly and reliable bug supplier!

Heterometrus Loaticus Adult female
I needed a female Heterometrus Loaticus for a communal I'm doing as I have had a adult male for 2 years now, and now I have a mature female and sub adult female to go into the communal.
Very nicely packed and delivered promptly and a very healthy large female, couldn't be happier. Thanks Virginia Cheesman 😉😎👍

10/10 Service by Virginia.
Virginia's communication was outstanding and the delivery was prompt. Royal Mail delayed my delivery by a day ( Through no fault of Virginia!) All livestock was sprightly and vibrant with 0 death upon arrival! You can see the quality and care that has gone into these animals. You have a new customer! I will be back. Thank you for your competitive pricing and outstanding delivery service.
