It's one person's opinion. I'm on tarantula boards all the time, and I have ONE tarantula. Then again, I have no life, but that's besides the point. Tarantula keeping is a hobby, and just because it's unique doesn't make you a nerd or geek. (hey, look at that, it rhymed)

I think G. pulchra is way up there as far as lifespan for females.

I know people who are older and still play Pokemon. Given, they are either nerds or losers, but they still count :) . People who play Pokemon are often looking to relive the past. Although, besides the new Pokemon released that are desperate attempts at being original, the improvements in each...

Well, doesn't that narrow it down much >_> . I meant, OTHER THAN THAT, if there was anything in particular he was looking for. Arboreal or terrestrial? Any specific colors? Adult size preferred?

I agree. :} Show us some pics!

Well, since I've seen this thread countless times and I have favoritism toward my own tarantula, I guess I'll just throw in a random name. G. pulchra There's a lot of tarantulas to choose from, and it would better help our recommendations if you gave a list or gave us a more specific idea of...

That is the cutest thing I've ever seen! Cuter than my poodle pup when I got him at 3 months old.

If I were you I'd wait and get all three, but the one that I'd pick first, or mainly the best option, would be G. pulchra. I admit to favoritism because I have one myself, but they're really awesome. Good luck with your decision!

Amen to that. It's always business, and it's not going to stop happening. But when something like that happens, it really makes you wonder what would happen if you weren't there, and if someone else is making such a bad mistake. Staff is hardly ever helpful, and the problem is just that pet...

LOL! But anyways, the point of this thread isn't to start a mob against pet stores for them to stop selling a certain animal- their store would go empty! I'm just saying that I wish tarantulas weren't sold at pet stores. It's not like I can do anything about that.

I triple that. Deserts are definitely easier.

Hey, 5 tarantulas is already 4 more than I have. All your T's are very beautiful, and good luck with your decision.

Becker? I guess that guy's still getting business (and soon, too). It just goes to show, prices trump all else. Well, I'm not here to talk you out of your decision, so I wouldn't put much substrate for the GBB. It'll just end up webbing itself so much that the substrate will hardly be visible...

Not really. It's very difficult to search for them locally, and when I finally find something it turns out to have Miracle-Grow. Ordering online is my thing, but that's just me.

I'm sure this discussion is probably over by now, but I'd like to add that this was probably a thought-out (if not thought-out well) plan. The snake looks very similar to the one in the photo, although it's clear that they are different snakes.

Very nice molt! Congratulations!!!

I am so sorry for your loss.

My friend had a Rosie who would heavily burrow. But other than his T, I've never seen a different Rosie burrow.

They're definitely not as moody as Rosies. My friend has one who is a bit skittish, but never even attempted to run away. Have fun with your GBB!

Congrats on finally making your decision. Honestly, congrats- I'm the exact same way about these things. Probably why I've had 1 tarantula for almost 2 years now, and I'm still pondering over which one to get next.
