My 7 year old who used to be afraid of my T.s would now like one of her own. She said she wanted a female and that she wanted to pick it out.So on line we went to look at some pics . After looking at a lot of photos she kept coming back to Brachypelma boehmei. Kids got good taste ! Anyone got one for sale ? Thanks for the info, I am currently on the trail of a 2 inch female for 80.00. I am presently working out the details with the seller.There's usually quite a few in FS/T here. Generally speaking, you can get a 1" for $35, 2" for about $45-$60, and 3" are generally $90+. If you want anything bigger than that you're looking to spend well over $100, especially for a female. I think a 2" would probably be a good way to go because by that point they're starting to show adult coloration and can take larger food items. However, you usually won't find a guaranteed female of that size. If you look hard enough, though, you might. Good luck!
BTW, I have one, and NO YOU CAN'T HAVE HER!!!
If it was unsexed I would agree...but if the seller is sure it's a female, it's not a terrible deal. I would see if I could weasel them down a little more, though.for 2 inch u should ask him for 60-75 shipped... 80 is a little high...
Doesn't hurt to try! Just be warned also: (in case no one else mentioned this) they do like to flick hairs at the slightest provocation so handling isn't really recommended. Not sure if your girl is wanting to cuddle with it or not, but I wouldn't suggest it with a boehmei.I have heard that they are hair flickers. In fact I have 3 other brachys already and the only one that does not flick hairs is the B. Albop..If it was unsexed I would agree...but if the seller is sure it's a female, it's not a terrible deal. I would see if I could weasel them down a little more, though.
She sure has, I have a 4.5 inch female G. Aureo. that is very easy to handle,as well as a mellow 5 inch rosea.
