I marked the packaging as a con, but all 3 tarantulas did arrive alive and well with no visible issues, so it wasn't that bad. Arranged shipping on the day that worked for me and the tarantulas were as advertised.
I think he was more asking to make sure you have the right species and not cross breeding blondi and apophysis. I may have assumed wrong, but that's what I thought he was asking for.
So I have been reading The Tarantula Keepers Guide and in a few places it is mentioned that frequent handling (or at least being handled while growing up) will result in a T becoming used to being handled. I have also read a thread on here about the general feeling is that Ts have little to no...
I don't remember the brand name of my container but it is that type and they don't seem to be able to climb very well but the little ones do sometimes get up on the walls.
All you have to do as a safety net is put a ring around the inside with packing tape so the shiny surface of the tape...

On the pet thing though....it is only exotic pets and there isn't so much 'second hand' exotic...
I was just reading the bill HERE and it seems to apply only to non-native species of exotic pets, so all we need to do is reclassify ALL tarantula species under the Aphonopelma Genus and tell them they are all native to the southwest! :wicked:
I know how we can solve this substrate issue.... We can all build little trampolines so when the T falls they just bounce off and have a good time too! {D
As far as the temperment issue, it just depends on the day sometimes. I have a Red Knee that is kind and gentle one day and a few days later it will bite first and ask questions later. You just need to make sure of the Ts "mood" before you interact too much that day.
