I doubt iits a kid. If you think that's crazy, there is a guy on Faunaclassifieds.com that is selling Dwarf American Alligators. Bad enough they don't exist but the guy is based in Brooklyn. He can't buy any snake over 6 Feet but I can sell Alligators! I understand you can buy almost anything online but are people that stupid, he could have at least said he lived in New Jersey or something.


You can't fix stupid!

Give the guy a break. No one here has heard about Aphonopelma goldbricki?
When they molt, the inside of the exavium is lined with precious gold leaf. You people need to use the search function:rolleyes:

The grammar of the post gives the impression the seller is not from America. It is most likely a scam; a bad scam.
Also the item given for scale appears to be a business card. Typical business cards have a width of 2". How can they say the T is 4"? I posted a question for the seller, let's see what comes back.

Wow cool. :rolleyes:

It's not that hard to harness-train tarantulas; it's keeping the neightbor's cat off of it while your walking her that's the problem. Darned hawk scooped up my B.smithi two weeks ago. :liar:{D
