Wise and true.
Many online retailers, and many in the classifieds. The only absolutely NEVER BUY from site, is Blackwater...aka Slackwater, aka "Burning your money gives one more enjoyment"..NEVER EVER buy from them.
I try to keep things in perspective.
Yeah I saw that in someone's signature. I am curious, what exactly do they do? Corporate conglomerate type of stuff?
Not sure what you meant
Mmmm, Like . . . a corrupt business with no care for anything but money and how to make it.
They do everything wrong, from poor shipping, to mis-identified species to sending the wrong sex. Most places you would order from are really good, this one is the black eye of the tarantula dealers. Regardless of who you buy from, always check their review page...everyone selling here in the AB classifieds is required to have a review page...this allows you to buy with confidence...we have a ton of very good sellers here, way too many to mention.
Yeah, thanks for the heads-up. So-far I can tell this is probably my best bet for buying a tarantula online. Very friendly atmosphere here and you can tell the people care about what they're doing.
Absolutely...best option for both selection and prices.
I still think I've got a ways to go before I purchase a tarantula either way. I'm not sure if I'll be able to get one any time soon, however I will remain interested and seeking knowledge.
ForEVER. You just start making sense of one genus when WHAM! They rename them!
Lmao, seems like that's pretty common in science tbh. Scientific naming is gonna be no different.ForEVER. You just start making sense of one genus when WHAM! They rename them!
Wait a second. A kitten is an exotic pet?!?!?!?!?!?!
Depends on the species of feline, but yes, a kitten can be an exotic pet.Wait a second. A kitten is an exotic pet?!?!?!?!?!?!
You seem to be over-thinking this. Yes, it is VERY important to do research before buying a T. You want to make sure you're getting an appropriate level T, and that you know how to take care of it. But it seems you have done all that. Find one that is beginner-friendly and appeals to you, and then jump in.
I probably am a little bit to be honest, I tend to do that. Part of it is also money, something I don't have a whole lot of. I go to school too so there's those expenses. I just wanna make sure I touch all the bases however, I don't want to improperly care for the Tarantula. However, mainly the issue is just money.
Ah, well yeah... that's a different story haha.
Also, I seem to have a tendency to sometimes go all out on something too quickly and then get very bored of that thing. I wanna make sure that this is something I really want to do. It would be unfair to the tarantula if I wasn't really passionate about this.
It's a hard knock life, for us both then. I'm a student at a technical college, so money is sparse.
Yeah, I wouldn't mind owning a sling, I live in Washington state as well for the moment. I'm mostly thinking about the long game, where I will be at in a few years, done with school and living with my soon-to-be-fiance, and convincing her to let me have one, lmao. She's has arachnophobia, I'm trying to explain to her that they're not scary at all and I almost got her there. So far she's agreed to let me have them as long as they're not in the house. Which I could do, I was thinking about building a sort of "shed" or "shop" to keep them in. Obviously with insulation, heating, electricity, etc.
As children, I think most of us probably handled just about any and everything we could get our hands on.
