Its a Cobalt Blue (Haplopelma lividum).We have it at the store I work at. I'm the only person out of all the people that work there that has held it so far. It is extremely aggressive but its a beautiful tarantula. Who wants to send me $50? {D

50 is about what you would pay online.

30 + 20shipping.

so its not a good deal or a bad one. Atleast you get to see what you are getting.

and my 30% off that $50 brings that down to $35. I'm highly considering it now. I'd still rather get her for free.

Whenever you're showing it to prospective customer, play up the bad traits and scare them so it remains unsold, and you can get it just to make room! :p

All I can think of when I look at that picture is how easily it could become startled and dart off your hand to fall all that way to a hard linoleum floor.

Reminds me of a story Becca told about some pet store guy who just had to take out a rosie to show her, she didn't want him to. He did it anyway and it darted off his hand and splatted onto the floor.

If you were smart about it you would find a way up the anty, and sell it to someone. Give them a proprer intro on it, give care details, and then send em here.....= P The more inverts you sell, the more theyll give towards your order on inverts....Just a lil' deathco insight. They do orders every week right?

yes they do. but heres the thing, me and my manager are real tight and if i want something she'll order it for me. im having her order me a thai tiger (Cyriopagopus paganus) this weekend, they only go for $15 there.

but back to the cobalt. shes going to be mine here soon, we get these coupons called jacks bucks for making quota for the quarter and what not, i get $20 dollars worth this weekend, $15 out of my own pocket wont be too bad. :D

Just do it!

I think for a sexable H. lividum that you can work with barehanded and that you have seen eat for weeks is a bargain at $50 and a steal at $35. Plus, consider that you would also, in a small way, help support one of the rare pet store out there that offer decent Ts. Hopefully that is worth something to you.

Is it very mellow?
I also would be worried that it would shoot off my hand, or give me a nice chomp:eek:
