My local 'mom and pop' pet store stocks tarantulas on a pretty regular basis- usually loads of rosehairs and then a handful of other assorted species. Right now they've got a B. Smithi sling that's maybe .75 inches, and it's going for a hundred bucks. Is that... normal for pet shops? It seems like at that price it's just going to sit there until it grows up; someone casually interested in Ts would shy away from the pricetag and go for the ol' cheap standby G Rosea, and a collector/enthusiast would know enough to find one of similar size online for much cheaper. At least, I can't imagine spending so much when I know I can get the same thing for a lot less... even taking into consideration shipping, waiting, and the risk of DOA. I dunno, kinda weird *shrug*
