Do your homework, look at reviews, check the BBB.I didn't do that,and will never be that ignorant again.Business in question-Backwater Reptiles.,DO NOT buy from them.,I did ,and all I can say is Thank God ,my T arrived alive,how, I will never know. It was packaged horribly, only some substrate in a deli cup, no airholes,no damp tissue, no cold pack,( very important in hot weather) It was supposed to be 3", it is about 1.5. Of course,they argued that fact.They are a third party business, located out not CA. They do not deal directly in their animals,and have no clue what they even look like. You cannot reach them by phone either if you have a problem.Always,always try to find out about tyour seller. I bought a sling from JAMIE'S TARANTULAS,they are great!!!!.I can't say anything about anyone else, but I hear Fear Not Tarantulas,and Palp Friction are good too. Thanks</blockquote>
