I can see why.

I know hercules is on here already but he is the easiest of my smithis to photograph as he is always out and about. He is bigger and stripper now!

 

[harleyqueen]

And his little sister Saturn!

 

[harleyqueen]

No idea why she came out upside down!

Hamlet also bigger and stripier now, I think b smithis are so beautiful.

I <3 B.smithi's too! Haven't had any luck in finding on near here (unless you count the one that was online for $275...which was a tad out of my price range).

omg what a joke. I paid sixteen pound for my slings, I would never pay a lot of money for a big/old t when slings are so cheap. Hope you find a nice little one soon!

Rubbish picture of flamenco ( aka flame or menc or minxy) its a bad picture but I didn't want to leave her out as she is quite sweet and funny but I never get good pics of her.

Thanks! My son has fallen in love with B.smithi. I know they are slow growers, but I think we would both love to watch it grow up; so hopefully will find some slings close by or I will probably order online once the weather warms up.

Yeah that's to high for even a fully grown female.

Large smithis are around ninty pound in my area.

 

[Nada]

yeah, that's about right 90 pounds/$150

I would expect T's to be a bit more expensive here, as the hobby (and subsequent community) is very small....but $275 seemed outrageous to me, especially when I asked if it had been sexed and their response was "I don't think we'd know how to do that" lol.

That's not very professional. I think you would really love a b smithi sling they are very cute.

I definitely won't buy ANY T's from that store (actually won't even buy crix there now), they are housed in horrible conditions; that coupled with their lack of knowledge will make sure I steer very clear from that shop.

I don't know how they get away with it, should be shut down or blown up.
