Haven't measured her yet, my best guess is over 7" since the molt was over 6". From what ive read they have relatively small sacks, especially since its young female and theraphosas are in high demand, a few for me, a bunch to give away to friends leaves a couple dozen to sell, $25 each should move them fast. I'm more interested in the breeding and the slings id keep. I have a breedable LP but there's no way I'm dealing with those numbers
I havent seen stirmi slings for sale here for less than £35 here in england.
when you say a few bucks and freebies I assume you mean the Lp. stirmis im sure are worth more in the states.
No, I'm definitely talking about stirmis. I see them for sale for around $15 (often less) as slings, but when you make a big order of other spiders, your freebies tend to be either albos or stirmis.
What??? I've never seen T. stirmi slings go anywhere near that cheap...I've also never once heard of them being offered as freebies.
What. I have NEVER seen a stirmi sling even remotely that cheap, in fact I just bought mine for more than quadruple that price, because it was the first I had seen available in a very long time. That's wild.
If I decide to mate her I'll get one of those. Got my female from them. Ordered a juvi unsexed ~3" for £49 and asked for a female if possible. Got a 6" female. Was over the moon. I think they were selling those for £75 at the time
Freebies for spending how much? I'm guessing it's must be large purchases of several hundred dollars or more. And they are certainly not the normal "give away" species like B. albos or LPs. I've seen larger "unsexed" specimens for sale for relatively cheap, but the slings are usually $50+ from what I've seen. Perhaps someone had some to unload and didn't mind letting them go cheap at a show, but to say they're a few dollars here? No way. Could someone be selling them for that cheap? Maybe. But it's certainly NOT a common price for them.
I don't know any of the tubers but I watch the videos, I also don't feel comfortable taking someone elses male as I'm inexperienced with breeding and would feel awful if I have to call and say oops your guys dead. I have had little issues with TB my self in the last while. Never heard of Brett's exotic pets.
Check out brett's exotic pets and wild tarantulas on facebook. Also people recommend Martin Goss tarantulas.
She just molted so if I am breeding her ill be doing it in October, in the meantime im waiting on an H incei female from TB to breed with my recently matured male.
