This is a color mutation of Armadillo officinalis, a medium-sized species from the Mediterranean and western Black Sea coasts. The species is notable for their stridulating behavior which creates an audible hissing sound. Unlike most other conglobating species, they tend to conglobate even at rest and not only when disturbed.

This species is known for its prolific breeding and ease of cultivation. They can adapt to a wide range of ventilation conditions, however, maintaining humidity and soil moisture is crucial because dry conditions can be fatal. It usually thrives in medium ventilation and semi-moist conditions, but excessive moisture with improper ventilation can lead to higher mortality rates.

Shipping

Shipping method:

Shipping is offered throughout the continental US (48 states) through FedEx Priority Overnight. Shipments are dropped off on Tuesdays or Wednesdays for next-day arrival and required to be picked up in person at your closest FedEx Ship Center. 

We offer expo pick-up and DFW local meet-up options so you can save on shipping. See Expo Schedule for details. 

What to expect after placing an order:

After you place an order on our website, we will contact you within 12 hours to let you know the delivery date and FedEx pick-up location. Please respond and let us know if that works for you. The package will NOT be shipped until we have your confirmation. A tracking number will be provided on the day of shipment.

There will be times when shipping must be delayed due to weather, our schedule, or if a tarantula you ordered has recently molted or appears to be about to molt. You will be notified if that happens, and we will work out another date. 

Carrier delays happen, so please ensure you or someone you know will be available to pick up your package, even if it's 1-3 days late. 

Live Arrival Guarantee (LAG):

Buddha Bugs offers LAG but ONLY when the below conditions are met:

  • "Freebies" are not covered by LAG.
  • For the safety of the animals and to ensure the best chance of live arrival, orders must be shipped to your nearest authorized FedEx Ship Center and held for pickup.

  • Package must be picked up from FedEx within 4 hours of arrival. Please bring a valid ID with you.

  • In the unlikely event of a DOA, we require notice and evidence within 1 hour of delivery/pick up. You must provide a clear photo/video of the deceased specimen. Refunds will not include shipping costs, and replacements may not always be available. 

  • ANY DEVIATION OF THIS CAN RESULT IN LAG VOID

We can offer home delivery upon request, but LAG cannot be guaranteed due to the unpredictability of this shipping method. 

If a carrier delay causes your animals to arrive on a day other than originally scheduled, we will still honor the LAG if the delay does not exceed (3) days past the originally scheduled delivery day. 

Please remember that FedEx DOES NOT reimburse Buddha Bugs for lost packages or the loss of any live animals. We take as many precautions as we possibly can to ensure your new pets arrive safely.
