Kris, a passionate arachnid enthusiast with almost two decades of experience, whose love for these eight-legged wonders began in his childhood in Latvia. In 2020, he took a bold leap into the world of tarantulas by acquiring his first Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens (GBB) from a Birmingham pet shop. This ignited a thrilling expedition that would lead him to a collection of over 150 spiders within just three months!

As Kris shared his journey on social media, he not only documented his own experiences but also inspired countless others in their quest for knowledge about invertebrates. By 2023, his collection blossomed, and he began designing and crafting unique enclosures and accessories, each one a testament to his dedication and love for this hobby.

In a serendipitous twist, Kris met Ling through social media. With two decades of spider-keeping under her belt, they quickly became inseparable and started doing YouTube lives together in June 2023, sharing live copulations to new and current hobbyists alike, blending their shared passion for arachnids. While Kris brings enthusiasm and creativity, Ling’s scientific approach adds depth to their streams, offering a well-rounded perspective on this enchanting hobby. Together, they've created a vibrant community where hobbyists can engage and learn!

As 2024 unfolded, Kris delved into the world of 3D printing, meticulously crafting parts for custom Zoo on Wheels enclosures. What started as a passion project soon escalated into creating accessories and essentials that cater to every arachnid lover's needs. Meanwhile, Ling embarked on her journey into taxidermy in early 2025, infusing her macabre art into their collaborative projects, making Zoo on Wheels a diverse haven for all.
