Simple question.. What are true Emps going for these days? I never got around to getting one before the ban here in the U.S. I know they skyrocketed, and i don't know if i should invest in one or not.
They weren't even Pandinus, they were Heterometrus. I told them as much but they continued to sell them as emps anyway.I saw a "Backwater Reptiles" selling slings for $25. But if i recall correctly, ive heard bad things about them.
Yea I figured they would pull some sketchy shit like that.They weren't even Pandinus, they were Heterometrus. I told them as much but they continued to sell them as emps anyway.
Well I'm a reptile breeder morso than arachnidsIf a vendor has "reptile" in their name, don't trust their identification skills when it comes to arachnids, IMO. Especially Pandinus vs Heterometrus.
I'm more so referring to large importers/dealers, not going to name names, but you get the idea lolWell I'm a reptile breeder morso than arachnids
I have a silly dream of opening a sanctuary for breeding animals that are becoming extinct.. XDIt's amazing that I could get P imperator for $5-$10 way back when. I guess over collecting really decimated their numbers. Another reason why captive breeding is oh so important.
I remember when they were $14.99 at Petco. Sometime a sale would be 2 for $25.00 or something.Idealistically I don't think they should ever have been sold for less that $45 but supply and demand dictates that. Imo, around $70 is a fair price, I mean look at those things. But the price is what people will pay of course.
