Breeding and where to sell excess slings and how to ship questions

[KezyGLA]

P. sazimai is the plural term for P. sazimai

And I've never heard of someone using 'excess' slings as feeders or the term 'excess slings' in general.

Sadly, you can't sell animals on Facebook or Craigslist. So I may just try to sell them on here.

Yeah you can, there are entire groups dedicated to it on FB, when you post an ad in the group you should do it under "Start discussion" rather than "Sell something" though.

I usually sell MM tarantulas or excess roaches through FB.

There's a guy on CL had a sac of Lps, why bred have NO idea. S/he puts up about 6 adverts/day, they will be adults by the time they are all sold, for a penny!

Thanks for all of the help everyone! I see I need to do a lot more research if I ever plan to breed. I'm sure I'll get there someday. I do have one last question though. If I do start breeding and plan on shipping, what are shipping rates like for Fedex and UPS?

You CANNOT use UPS.

Rates are dependent on location, destination and origin... For example, I am in California and overnight shipping across the US is 90$+. Closer states can be less... 70$ ish to Arizona, 40-50$ ish within California. Two-day shipping is cheaper... we have shipped/received Ts via two-day for 30-50$.

Some folks have business accounts that offer flat rate overnight (40-50$), but I don't know what is entailed in obtaining those type of accounts.

Okay, thanks! While researching I found a site called shipyourreptiles.com and they work with fedex. It's 30% off shipping fees and from Indiana to California is like $70 for overnight and $30 for 2 day.

I mentioned them in my post lol also ReptilesExpress. The buyer is responsible for shipping costs. You have to decide what LAG (live arrival guarantee) terms you'll ship under, as well as refund/replacement/etc contingencies should something go wrong.
