today i went to a pet store (one of the better ones i've ever seen) to buy crickets. i decided that i'd go check out the T selection, as they sometimes get them in at this place. this is what i found: 2 "rose hairs" selling for $30 a piece and a "stripe knee" selling for $35.
ok this may be a totally ignorant question, but what is the latin name for a "stripe knee"? it seems like they are just sticking a title on it because they dont know what it really is... or maybe i just have never heard of a "stripe knee." but that's all the label said. wouldnt it make sense to put the latin name because there are so many different common names for tarantulas.
one time i saw a small rose hair being sold for $35 but it was being sold as a "wooley tarantula." just for kicks, what is the most ridiculous pricing/labelling you've ever seen at a pet store?
