New Purchase!

[Richard_uk]

On a routine trip to my local pet store to buy crickets, I came across this little guy and couldn't resist.

It was labelled as an Aphonopelma, but i'm 99% certain it's B. emilia. Whatever it is it's as calm as can be!

whoa!

I think you just got yourself a sweet deal! Although someone does need to put the crack pipe down in that store, its still cool to get an emilia. I want one some day when I have more spidey space. (They're all in my bedroom )

NICE!!! I'm going to get myself one of those eventually.

Heck, does it matter? If a guy can get an emelia at an Aphonopelma price, he's doing great!!! That is so sweet!!! Some people just have ALL the luck.

Yup, definately is an emilia, looks just like my little girl. I hope you got a good deal, I paid $100 for mine at a petstore.

Nope, captive bred. My local supplier have a breeder who supply them with all their spiders.

Keep checking the BTS bulliten board but your best bet would be to go to the BTS show in May. They may have some for sale there.
