About Us

Welcome to Franksbuggin661!  We’re so glad you’re here.  Who are we? We are Frank and Gloria Chavez, owners of Franksbuggin661.  Our journey in this hobby began in March of 2019 when Gloria suggested we get a pet tarantula. I have always been a big fan of tarantulas, but never owned one as a pet.  We started out with two different species, a T. Albo (Curly Hair) and an Avic Avic (Pink Toe).  It wasn’t long before I fell in love with these amazing creatures that I decided to take my passion to the next level.  Over time, I’ve added more species to our collection to learn as much as I could about proper husbandry and breeding.  Now, we have more than 1000 tarantulas, including new world and old world!

In addition to Tarantulas themselves, I’m passionate about education!  My goal is to show the world how beautiful and misunderstood these creatures really are. If you’re one of the millions of people who struggle with the fear of spiders, come check out my TikTok channel, Franksbuggin661, where we host LIVE feeding, breeding, rehousing and much more!  Come hang out, meet some AMAZING people and ask as many questions as you want.  We believe education is the key to showing the world that Tarantulas are to be loved not feared. 

When you order from us you are helping our dream of making this our full-time business a reality.  You will also get the unique opportunity to watch your spider be packed LIVE on TikTok.  Thank you for checking us out and welcome to the “Buggin Family.”
