E. campestratus question

[HydraShok]

My PZB cost 73.00 (48.00 for the spider) including shipping from e-spiderworld. I asked one of the people there how old it was. He said at 3.5 inches it was probably 5yrs old! Wonder how long it will take to reach adulthood? Probably another 4-5 yrs. Got a Chaco Golden Knee on the top of my list now. Probably buy the 6" they have, because I hate waiting.

wait. is that in $CDN or something?
i'm confused...

Hope so...he has 4" PZBs for $50 right now including shipping...

A few months ago I paid the about same amount for a sexed female though.

$73 US was what I paid. The spider is listed as a 3.5 inch PZB it is a guaranteed female for $48 on the site, but that does not include overnight shipping.

I have a 1/4 inch Chaco sling who looks like she's about to molt. I guess by the time she'll have reached adulthood, I'll probably be heading for retirement.

Yeah, um I have one too. A 5.5 inch female pzb, CB. She's a real sweet tempered T- no aggression whatsoever

i know i can get an inexpensive G. pulchra sling, but i don't want another baby! WAH!!!!

i want a larger, more handleable T. (sniffle)

i know, i can't help but be whiny. i got spoiled by the 1 1/2" SWEETIE curly hair i got.

i want more biggish Ts.

-whine-

I believe I saw that one of our certified arachnodealers has some captive bred adults for sell around $100... I can't remember who it was that had them though. They sure are sweet Ts, or you can check the ads and you might find one that way too, maybe a juv that is larger but has a way left to grow.

see, i hate to say this...but i will never spend over $50 on a T. with the risk of it being male it is just NOT worth the money.

birds, yes. reptiles, yes. Ts, i just can't bring myself to do it. especially when i worry about getting a possibly moody T that i couldn't handle.

i've bought all my other animals in person except for two cresteds which are sweet anyway so i knew i could handle them.

i am leary about getting internet Ts and then risking the fact that they won't be handleable. to me, that's why i wanted them in the first place.

sincerely,
former arachnophobe

hey skadi -

i think the more you get into this, the more you won't mind getting a male ( i think )

once you get satiated from the "bigger T" itch, i think you'll realise breeding deals are great!!

you get half an eggsac back and then you've got tons more little slings!!!

i understand though (about wanting a bigger T now)... maybe save up and shoot for a pulchra!

i bet you could talk someone down $10 or $15 =D
