Inquiry on Todd Gearheart

Hi guys,

Am I seeing something weird here.

http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/show...rs.com)/page21

Check out the order of the last three or four positive reviews in the link. They are in the exact same order here just copied and pasted. Did someone open accounts for these people to post them in this thread?

This may be a coincidence, but it really is strange.

Nothing particularly unusual. Many people participate on more than one forum, and it certainly wouldn't be the first time people joined here to defend somebody)

Its just kinda weird, I understand he may have contacted them and asked them to post their reviews from the arachno forum in this amphibian and reptile forum. But 4 reviews all in the same order, all copied and pasted.

Comments: I have to say that my dealing with Todd and his animals has been spot on and a great experience. Todd was able to change around the shipping when I had a last minute issue and would not be available for the original date. Everytime I emailed Todd, I received an answer in no longer than 2 hours. I will do business again with Todd and would recommend him to any others.

Comments : I was excited to see the species I've been wanting offered at such a great price -- especially for a sexed adult pair! I feared it may be too good to be true but based on positive reviews and his prompt replies to my inquiries, I decided to make the purchase!

Todd was both flexible and informative when it came to when and how to ship the tarantulas. Then when an unexpected problem arose (due to an idiot at my local shipping store), he was on the problem and called me right away, which really impressed me.

I picked up my spiders yesterday and both are gorgeous and seem in great health and I couldn't be more pleased!

Comments : Wonderful, clear and concise customer service! They put the priority of the animal's health before anything, and answered all questions I had throughout.
Great looking animals, perfectly healthy and settled right in without any issues. Both spiders were alert and packaged securely and warmly. I purchased 2 tarantulas, (1) /Euathlus truculentus/ \"Chilean Beautiful\"/sub-adult/ Female/ $25 and
(1) Heteroscodra maculata/\"Ornamental Baboon\"/juvenile- 3.25\"/ unsexed / $25. We put off shipping for a few days to wait for warmer temperatures, and the seller kept in contact with me the whole time, so I knew where my spiders were in the process at all times. I picked up the spiders from the Fedex shipping center closest to my house, unboxed them, and the E. Truculentus crawled right out onto my hand immediately, then into her cage without any trouble. The H. Maculata hung around in her cup within her cage long enough to get some pics, then she went off as well, and both have been building webs all over their enclosures even in the short time I've had them.

Great communication, healthy animals, good temperaments, beautiful spiders!

Comments : Todd was very patient with me and always replys in a timely manner, his website specified the phonutria boliviensis were unsexed and when I asked if their was a pair he positively identified them and I received a great pair that immediately began to thrive! I have a fairly popular venomous/exotic Instagram page and recommended him there. If you want to look then be my guest at @thewildhanbury
