Hey everyone,
I was wondering why there is such a HUGE difference in prices when comparing spiders obtainable in the US and those in Europe. I just read a thread stating a GBB sling costs $30,-, while it's pretty easy to get them here for under €10,- (I bought my 2 slings for €8,-, which is about maybe $12,- or so...). Also, I recently read a little something on the different Sp. in the Theraphosa genus, and I noticed they are a lot cheaper here as well (slings go for around €30,- to €45,-(well, maybe the burgundy/spinipes at least)).
What causes this HUGE difference? Is it availability of spiders or something? Cause I can imagine there are a LOT more people in the US breeding spiders than we have here... Your thoughts?
