Yeah a local pet store in my town gave me a free H. Lividium as well. I was there to get crickets and it was a new pet store who got her b/c they thought she looked pretty. I was standing there waiting for my crickets to be put in the little bag by the pet store worker and noticed it. I was suprised to see an H. Lividium and asked him about it. He said that they were afraid to sell it b/c they were scared that someone would get injured by it after they bought it and they would be the ones in trouble for it. The guy just wanted to get rid of her so I took him up on his offer. the thing is she is one of the most calm lividium that I've ever seen. she doesn't get pissed when I do something in her cage or anything. And she only burrows for about half the day so I see her all the time.

When I bought a Brachypelma albopilosum I got a Poecilotheria pederseni with an Exo-Terra 30x30x45 enclosure. Pretty decent because I bought the B. albo + enclosure for 400 Swedish kronor(~60 USD).

Freebie P. metallica !!!!!!!!!!

Because of a minor mistake last summer : I got a FREE P. metallica !!!!


Last summer, Marc at Next Years Reptiles threw in a wild caught Rosie, because the larger A. seemani I had picked out the day before ( and put aside ) had been sold on me. Well, the Rosie dropped a sack, and I traded the fertile eggs sack ( Marc incubated and housed them for me ) for a P. Metallica, and three housed rosie slings !

I ordered one a.seemani female from a seller here that was leaving the hobby, only to find out later that he also threw in:
another 0.1 a.seemani; 0.1 g.rosea; 0.0.1 aphonopelma sp. (I think hentzi); and 0.1 h.lividum. All of them are adults except for the smaller aphonopelma sp. I got all of those for only $30!!!
Then just recently a spider arrived DoA on me, so one of my friends on here sent me two p.murinus slings as a sympathy present. :)
And, another friend sent me a starter colony of b.dubia roaches for free, I only had to pay shipping but that's an excellent deal! :clap:
It's hard to choose which is my favorite but right now I'm really loving my slings, they're so cute and tiny, and yet ferocious!
