I met a guy today at a reptile store. He sold me a cobalt(4' female), a togo starburst( about 5.5' female), a blood leg(Male, 3'), 5 petpals(Good size), some substrate, and a burger(Half of his lunch) for a whole $10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The man keeps reptiles, and knows almost nothing about them. His wife bought the spiders(From someone, I dont know) and he said that he didnt want anything to do with spiders. And his shop is closing(Awesome sell out!)

The ol store going under deal...

Kinda reminds me of a steal I got several years back. There was this guy who had some coin mommy and daddy gave him so he opened up a pet shop near here. Less than half a year later he was bailing and I wound up with 30 baby burms ( two were albino and 3 green albino ), 12 columbian boas, 4 rosy boas, and 3 brand new 75 gallon lizard lounges for 200 bucks. :) At the time just one lizard lounge went for around 600 ish retail so needless to say I snatched them up and was quite pleased. Coolest part was the guy called me when he was going under and made me the offer before anyone else jumped on it. Didn't have to haggle or anything. :)

I live in North Highlands California. In Sacramento. The place is called Reptile outlet, I dont have a number. But the guy was really cool about it! Unless he was lieing, I sexed the spiders my self. So im pretty sure I got a good deal!

i don't mind getting males -- just go on a breeding loan and snag half an eggsac =D

but seriously man, good find!

close outs are the best!!!
