Local exotic pet shop near where I live, sells some Tarantula's. I am hoping to get one, as to why I asked for advice on my previous thread: http://arachnoboards.com/threads/first-tarantula-for-a-beginner.286691/
Its taking a while to get one, albeit longer than I wanted. But regardless onto my main point my dudes. This pet shop owner, was insisting that if I ever want to buy a tarantula, that I would like to handle its got to be a Chilean rose tarantula.
He already said to me beforehand, he doesn't like tarantulas in general but the one that does well with being docile and being held is a Chilean rose tarantula.
He also said, that because of the Mexican Red Knee's [brachypelma smithi] population in danger it is now harder to get hold of them and as such they are more expensive. [They don't use Latin/scientific names at this pet shop]
Am I getting played? I would really like to know if this guy is trying to lie to me to get more money. Is he? IMO, I think he is. I haven't seen the price of Brachypelma smithi dip at all online. HELP, I NEED SOMEBODY!
