Awesome New Addition (and a newbie to the hobby)

[Arborealis]

So, yesterday I took my friends to get his first tarantula.:clap: We went to a nice reptile place and the guys (or at least one of them) seemed really knowledgeable about the Ts. So we got my friend a nice little cb A. avicularia.

There was also a really big, beautiful G. aureostriata there and I kept looking at her, debating on whether or not to buy. They pulled her out for me and I handled her for a bit, very sweet girl, (at least they said it was a girl) haven't been able to get a ventral pic yet. They offered to give her to me setup and all for $50. She's about 6 1/2+".

Today I broke down and went back and bought her. Here she is in all her stripey glory.

$60 is a smokin deal for a confirmed female of that size. Plus it came with a setup to boot ! Man I wish I could deals like that were I live.

You hit a great deal. Welcome to the wonderful world of tarantulas.

I'd give $60 for her any day.

I think you guys misunderstood. She's number 20 for me. My friend is the newbie.

Very nice Chaco! I got a big female aureo in May. For me it is one of the gems to have in a collection. Huge spider as gentle as a lamb. I love her

Nice find. I love my Chacos but they're much smaller than that.
