O.K. so I was just at my local pet store and they have various tarantulas in from time to time. Well this time they had an adult P. murinus, a P. murinus sling, and a mature G. rosea all in separate 2.5 gallon tanks. Then in another 2.5 gallon tank they had three adult A. avicularia.
I am really seriously thinking about getting a pinktoe 'cause I've heard nothing but good things about them and I like their cute little pink toes. From what I've read in books and on here, they seem to be the perfect first arboreal.
I believe that this pet store only deals with wild caught tarantulas though. This makes me a little skeptical about buying one due to the possibility of parasites and what not. They were just hanging out on the sides of the glass and all looked to me to be in pretty good health.
The avics were priced at $18.00 each.
I just wanted to get a little feedback as to if this is a decent price for this species or not.
I figured I'd do a little research and if all seemed well I'd go back and buy one later.
Also I was wondering about keeping multiples in one tank. I've heard of this before but won't they kill each other. Or are they just that docile that they can be kept communally?
