Default Any good T pet shops in N. London?

As much as I like my local pet shop its starting to become inconvenient for me (and them) to go there. They dont sell anything T related and so everything has to come in especially for me and sometimes its not quite what I wanted..

So I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good place for T's in North London?

I've just come home from the petshop after buying some mice. They had a mexican red leg for sale at a staggering £75!
If you have a paypal account there are lots of fabulous online shops for T's, saves driving around...then again im just lazy!

most of my tarantulas come from online shops they tend to be much more reasonable than pet shop prices.

I know they mark up prices but £75 was a joke. They didn't even know the sex or age. I bought a friend the same T last year for £30, im starting to take a dislike to petshop prices!

have you got any links so I could check it out then please?

I'm a bit skeptical about ordering something living online, anything could happen in the process of it getting here and I read a post recently about someones T missing a leg..

I have used thespidershop on many occasions Lee is very well respected and his stock is always top quality in fact I dont think I have ever heard a complaint, it comes well packaged and on time. heres the link

Tarantulas - Suppliers of Arachnids and other quality Invertebrates

I have also used Tarantula-shop.com quite alot with no problems at all.

I also use thespidershop, all my scorpions and t's are from there, barring the emperors. All my inverts came well packed and in tip top shape. Can't praise Lee highly enough, does a great job. The other bonus is he accepts paypal too!

I looked for my first T last year some time and they had a Red Knee adult & little Gio enclosure in a garden center for £125, shocking
