@Phil I haven't tried or put up a listing. To be honest I've never shipped or packaged a T this big. I'd love to trade him out but wouldn't kno what to do
@SpiderDad61 yeah I don't ship adults as a rule and I am in the little ole UK so nowhere near some of the distances they need to travel in US. Generally once you have found someone reputable (there are some vendor reviews on here) you either agree the sale of the male to the person with the female, or agree a % of any slings the female produces. this is where you need to trust the owner of the female and hence the reputable bit above. With a loan, there is always the chance that the male could get eaten and if that's the case, then unfortunately that the end of any agreement obviously. I have yet to try breeding but I am building stock to do so (have a pair of T. Stirmi (about 8 inches each) that I am starting to introduce slowly to each other but as I own both, it is all my risk. It is a diffucult decision. keep him as he has probably been with you for so long, or see if his legacy can live on somewhere else. Glad not in your shoes!
