It's just how they give them to you for the car ride home (not that that's much better). They're like pet carriers. They do have smaller boxes that they should've used though. My boyfriend had to specifically ask for the smallest box they had when he bought our A. seemanni, and the woman who packaged her was pretty hesitant to put her in something that small.They sell Theraphosids in a cardboard box at petco?
I believe they just use the box for transportation purposes. Unless you want your new tarantula buckled up and riding shotgunThey sell Theraphosids in a cardboard box at petco?

The 'blow up' soil is probably a brick of coco peat I imagine, you put it in a bucket and add water and it swells to fill the bucket. That's the most commonly used substrate.

That would certainly be the better option. But that would require that Petco actually care about their animals, and *gasp* spend money to make the proper adjustments!I know that it's for transport only.
If you buy spiders here, they pack them in plastic boxes, hence my response
Cardboard+fangs is not a good idea, they can easily strike straight through that or even make their escape by biting a hole in it.
I've never seen OWs there. Usually it's standard NW wild-caughts. A. avicularia, G. porteri, and A. seemanni are what I see the most. Back when they had the "tarantula huts", they had more options available as slings, but still nothing rare and still no OWs. B. albopilosum, B. vagans, N. chromatus and the like.
You do realize that you need to catch her back out again if you're going to change the enclosure immediately...
That would be the urticating hair patch. Don't touch it, and give her space if she appears to 'scratch her butt', she's kicking the hairs up.
There have been reports and posts about a large petstore chain selling OW, even under NW names. Not sure which chain that was again, but i think if you enter 'petstore OW' you should get appropriate results
I know right - that's the most useless attempt at transporting a tarantula I've ever seen.They sell Theraphosids in a cardboard box at petco?
< Petco hang your heads in shame!
Cephalothorax - She's a stunning specimen for sure, she looks like Nicaraguan form due to how white the setae are, hobby form are more drab looking, my 1" sling is supposedly from the same locality, time will tell, yeah in another 4-5 years.
Just in time for you to take your T out. You need to make sure the distance from the sub floor to the lid is only 1.5X the Ts diagonal leg span (DLS). Otherwise your T will fall from the top of your tank and go splat and die.
That is pretty <edit> that they put the T in a cardboard box with no sub... I'm hoping they only put it in that after you bought her...
Before the whole "tarantula hut" idea (which was supposed to include a selection of OWs before the folks here petitioned for that to not occur and Petco removed them, only offering NWs after that, though the packaging still listed both), Cobalt Blue Tarantulas were available. I think that was the only OW on the list. Never saw one in-store, but it was available for special order. After the tarantula hut troubles, I've seen only sub-adult curly hairs in my local store and haven't inquired as to what else is available.
Good to know they're still complying with the arachnohobby considering not selling OW. I half expected they would lay low until the commotion went away and going right back to business.
They had probably the idea after eating a 'Salumi Cone' in 'Salumeria Boccalone', located in Frisco (CA one), Ferry Terminal buildingThey sell Theraphosids in a cardboard box at petco?
