My local exotic pet store has 2 "Brazilian red rump" tarantulas. They look like G. actaeon to me and the larger is about 5" and is selling for $50.
1. Do you think these are adult at 5", I hear these get pretty large. The abdomens were pretty red, but the rest of them was completely black. I know the red is supposed to fade as they age but I was hoping that they were adult and hence easily sexable (they did not have hooks).
2. I don't see these for sale often on the boards (one 2.5" was selling for $65 from Xenesthis), does $50 sound like a good deal?
