Just want to help you out. Ive been in the hobby over 35 years there are certain species that are on the cheap side due to over breeding and being easy to obtain. A.Chalcodes, B.vagans, A. Avic and A. metallica are often given away because they dont sell. Thats why Petsmarts/petcos all over the country sell these Ts. They are all great to learn to breed from but big money Ts are gonna be more profitable.(if thats your angle) I don't want you to get overwhelmed with 500 Chalcodes slings that you are stuck caring for. They are also slow growing so large ones are more in demand...many people dont want to wait 7-8 years to have a mature T. Just a little info...the last expo I was at in August  had 1/2" Chalcodes slings 10 for $20.00 They can have huge eggsacks...something to really consider. Again I'm not trying to discourage you, just sharing with a fellow T enthusiast. Good luck<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
