You can probably find a little sling for that price. An LP, G pulchripes or a rosie. Something along those lines.

Oh and I'll probably see you there!

Slings are cheap in most cases anyway, so yeah, $5 should get you a sling, but it'll also depend on if the sellers take them there. I didn't see many slings at the Arlington reptile expo. But I did get a 1" M. balfouri for $85.

Blame Tapatalk + "smart" phone for the typos kthnx

I think they charge you $5 at the door to get in.
Admission at the Repticon tomorrow is $10. I'll be there tomorrow or Sunday. :)



I got a G rosea female for $8 from a dealer. If you ask, I'm certain they'll do $5. Just don't expect it to be the most well-behaved spider in the world. Wild-caught G rosea in my experience like to bite everything. Good luck tomorrow and have fun! You'll see all kinds of cool stuff!

Well we can't tell you if they will give it to you, but like Osmo said t's like a flea market. You can barter. Last time I went there were a few reptile breeders that had a handful of LP slings they were pawning off pretty cheap.

How many T's have you kept int he past? How old are you? OBTs can be vicious little buggers.
