I just....have no words for this. Wow.
They were banned for a long time though.You know, living in a nation like mine, where the keeping/breeding/trade of arachnids is regulated by law, has only one positive side: You aren't forced to see such crap.
How have they not chewed their way out yet? Those mantis / butterfly mesh habitats are in no way secure.
Also! "I used it in a tank with tarantulas" and "it's brand new"
Their asking price is quite reasonable, I'm just not about to pay that much for a t that could already have sustained fall damage. I feel so bad for it though because I can tell it's very stressed, it doesn't even have a hide and I'd bet money they handle it often and probably just release a dozen feeders at a time.People seem to think they can get all their money back. That's not the way it works. It looks like a Zoo Med 12x12x18 which usually costs about $100.
Yeah, If I purchased that package, it would be more for the enclosure than the tarantula. For a few bucks more, you could get a brand new Zoo Med terrarium in a pet store, without paying a shipping charge.Their asking price is quite reasonable, I'm just not about to pay that much for a t that could already have sustained fall damage.

That was part of why I wanted it, but more because of the poor state of that beautiful species looking so clearly stressed out. But they were offended by my low balling them so it ain't gonna happen now, lol.Yeah, If I purchased that package, it would be more for the enclosure than the tarantula.

what is an “obese g. pulchra” tarantulas get fat sometimes, i’ve seen very fat tarantulas in the wild. its normalWe’ve all seen them on Craigslist, Ebay, FB market place etc.
People selling Obese G.Pulchra’s in a fish tank with 1inch of rainbow gravel and a pale yellow spider plant in the corner or $150 for P.Metallica’s who ‘like being stroked’.
So here’s a thread to post all the awful ads you find on these online marketplaces.
I’ll begin, (this is from @Scarabyte)

very sketchy. i work in a lab and you can’t publish your work unless you know exactly where the inverts were collected from. this is definitely some sketchy seller trying to get scorpions and tarantulas for a cheap price so he can resell them at a veryyy high price.Sounds sketchy...
