How about $20 plus shipping. The store wanted $100, but I got it for $50...so deduct some for the sake of being a nice guy and there you go. I live in Texas, so if you're far away overnight shipping is going to be a serious pain. Email me your address and any further questions or cancellation...

Can someone tell me how to package a tarantula (not a sling) for shipping? I need to sell one of mine, but I have no clue how to pack it. If any of you all want to buy it, be my guest. Here's a picture of it.

I was busy this weekend, but I think I make it in on Thursday. If not, the guarantee still covers this weekend, so I'm not in a huge rush. I'll let you know what happens. I'm expecting more BS. I plan on going straight to James. If I can convince him, the manager will follow accordingly. I hope...

Thanks for your help Phillip. Great picture, too. I'll have see what my B. smithi thinks about ceph handling.

Re: Yes I'm holding it by the ceph. Sorry for the dumb question, but what happens if something touches it's feet? Does it latch on and scramble, or what? Thanks for your help. -LT

Phillip- When you took that first picture, are you just holding it on its cephalothorax? Never tried that, I thought it would get mad at me and decide to have another dinner. :? -LT

Re: Re: Re: She finally cooperated Well I made a phone call today. The woman (manager) at the other end asked how I knew that it was a male rather than female, and I gave her: 1. The epigastric furrow was a straight line between the anterior booklungs 2. The book lungs aren't angled...

Some people say you can, and others say you can't. I've read some stories where it went wrong and the A. avic's ate each other. I wouldn't risk it, especially since they are so small right now, space isn't an issue. But what kind of avic's are you talking about? The whole cohabitat idea was for...

If I am not mistaken, public speaking is the most common phobia.

Re: She finally cooperated Thanks, that will help alot. I'll see what I can do. Stir up trouble, no doubt. ;) Thanks for everyone's help. -LT

Well I have a need for some good debate. I'll go back, see if they can lower the price, not because the price was unfair, but that it was sold under false pretenses. They may not have a female...this guy said that they were ALL female, that he got them all together from the same place, if I...

CM - I paid $50. Worth going back to the Petco to dispute? It's under a 15 day guarantee right now. -LT

Well I tried to take a better picture, I hope this helps.

This is my B. smithi, Akiko. I think it's a girl. Well at least that is what it was sold as (see my other thread ;) ). Atavuss, this will give you a better size reading than I ever could. Hope you enjoy her! -LT

I have read that it is possible to sex a tarantula from the underside. However, I am horribly inexperienced at this. The following picture is the underside of my B. smithi, which was sold to me as a female. Can anyone back that? Thanks atavuss for bringing to my attention that Petco has some...

Interesting...it was funny. I asked if he (the local petco "expert") knew what sex this Redknee was, and he said they were all female. He then attempted to tell me about tibal spurs, which if I am not mistaken, are not present on an immature tarantula, such as this one. This was supposed to be...

I'm horrible with estimating, so I'll post a pic of her with a ruler or something. But if I absolutely HAD to guess....since she's kinda hunched up...maybe 4"? As for the price. I picked her up from her tiny, dank hell hole at a Petco. It was $100, but when I went to the register to pay, the...

That's great. :D Already have her. They price was $100, but I got it for $50 instead. She's beautiful, but I can't wait until a post molt. Remember, I have no colorful tarantulas, so anything with something other than brown impresses me. ;) I'll take a picture of her later and post it in...

I am considering getting a B. smithi, but after reading that they kick often, and after reading about serious damage done by eye penetration, I am a little wary of the whole thing. I am not so much worried about myself; I am more worried about putting the other people in my house at risk over my...

That was my avatar for the first few months on the boards. ;) -LT
