Yeah, not only are you brown bagging (smuggling)...but bringing a CITES controlled genus (Brachypelma) across country borders is another major violation unto its self. On top of that, they would have to be declared and only imported to specific ports.

Get out of the fiasco asap and order from someone here in the states before you have customs agents at your door, a date with a lawyer and a court date.

There's a reason none of us buy our ts from Europe.
this is my third time buying from Europe and there's no problem

Here's the most baffling thing...you are willing to take a massive chance smuggling, and you aren't even getting species that aren't available here...everything you are getting is readily available locally...it just makes absolutely no sense to risk this over ts we see every day here in the states. Its like smuggling in a black lab.

My bad man, I'm new to to this hobbi, I didn't know it was illegal to buy t's from other countries, saw a really good price and hop on it real quick without knowing about the consequences

Hey, I get that...a ton of us have had that same idea at one point...then we realize the true costs and risks...totally 100% not worth it.

I wasn't trying to get on you, I was trying to inform you and stop you from making a bad mistake again. This hobby is great enough without the risk of fines and jail time for a few spiders.

I'd recommend sticking to arachnid only dealers. Most reptile dealers suck with tarantulas.

I think he's the guy that lives near me....he used to sell reptiles, he now focuses on arachnids and actually hasn't sold reps in a while.

But also keep in mind that most dealers do a great job packing...heck many, if not most of the experienced breeders pack exceptionally well, too.

Yep, that's the guy.. Sometimes he has super prices on certain ts. He had P. met slings for like $30 earlier this summer. Do you also know Quentin?
