A Journey Woven with Passion

Bringing the Magic of Tarantulas to Canadians Since 2012

Tangled in Webs began in 2012 with one simple dream: to introduce more Canadians to the fascinating world of tarantulas.

What started as a passion for these remarkable animals has grown into a trusted Canadian business built around education, responsible care and a genuine love for the arachnid hobby. Over the years, we have connected hobbyists with an incredible variety of captive-bred tarantulas while helping both new and experienced keepers develop the knowledge and confidence needed to succeed.

Our journey has also allowed us to work with exceptional breeders in Canada and around the world. Through these relationships, we have supported important breeding projects, helped make rare species more accessible and contributed to more sustainable practices within the hobby, including meaningful initiatives involving Mexican tarantula species.

Ethical sourcing, responsible breeding and the well-being of every animal remain at the heart of everything we do.

Strengthening the Hobby Through Local Stores

In 2025, Tangled in Webs began an important new chapter by expanding our wholesale partnerships and placing a greater focus on supporting independent Canadian retailers.

This direction allowed us to provide trusted stores with access to quality captive-bred tarantulas, invertebrates, plants and specialized products for naturalistic enclosures. Through INVERTA, we have also continued expanding our selection of bioactive supplies for arachnids, isopods and planted habitats.

Our partnerships help bring knowledgeable service and quality products closer to customers while strengthening the local businesses that make the Canadian hobby community so special.

We are proud to continue collaborating with the retailers who have supported us throughout the years, including our valued partnership with Monarch Reptile, which has helped us reach customers throughout Quebec and beyond. We are also proud to offer products from trusted industry partners, including Tarantula Cribs.

A Permanent Retail Home Arrives in September 2026

September 2026 marks another exciting milestone in our story.

For the first time, Tangled in Webs will have a permanent retail presence inside Tyrannosaurus Pets in Belleville, Ontario.

This new location will allow us to better serve customers throughout Belleville, Eastern Ontario and the surrounding region. Visitors will be able to explore select tarantulas, invertebrates, plants and supplies in person, ask questions and enjoy the confidence of shopping through a knowledgeable local pet store.

While this is an exciting expansion, it does not replace the trusted relationships that brought us here. We will continue working with the same retail partners we have collaborated with over the past several years, while welcoming new stores into our growing Canadian network.

Our wholesale partnerships remain an important part of our future, and our Belleville location gives the community another way to connect with us directly.

Education Will Always Be Part of Our Web

Tangled in Webs has always been about more than selling tarantulas.

Education remains one of the strongest threads in our story. We will continue sharing care information, species guides and practical resources through our website and blog. The Canadian Arachnid Community on Facebook will also remain a welcoming place where keepers can learn, connect and celebrate the hobby together.

Whether you purchase from one of our retail partners, visit us inside Tyrannosaurus Pets or follow our educational resources online, our goal is to help you feel supported throughout your journey.

Shop Local. Grow the Community.

When you shop through a local retailer, you support knowledgeable businesses, strengthen your community and often save the expense and stress of shipping live animals and delicate products.

We are incredibly grateful to every customer, breeder, store owner and community member who has helped Tangled in Webs grow since 2012.

The next chapter is only beginning, and we look forward to welcoming you to Belleville in September 2026.

Thank you for continuing to help us bring the magic of tarantulas closer to Canadians—one carefully woven connection at a time.
