Message: <blockquote data-quote="Underclock" data-source="post: 87021" data-attributes="member: 5743">I recently bought an A. francki from Casey. The experience was as you'd expect from reading her reviews.She was in constant communication the entire time, which was nice. The turn around on the spider was also pretty good, I've dealt with users that can take up to two weeks to get an order to you from first communication.The packaging was good, very secure, and she shipped a cool pack in with the spider at no additional charge. The spider was in a very secure medicine bottle type container, with ample airholes, wrapped in a damp paper towel. I'd have no fear of a spider dying if the shipping company got delayed a few days.As for the spider herself, she's gorgeous. Her rump is nice and fat, she's clearly well fed. I'd also like to mention the availability of this species of spider. It's not a tarantula, it's a true spider, or some evolutionary stepping stone between the two, which is why I was interested in it. I'd never seen another one listed for sale, though I'll admit I haven't been looking very hard, and I haven't been in the hobby that long, it's still an interesting specimine to have, and I'm glad we have users like Casey here in the community with such a large stock of interesting and unusual animals.And since I brought availability up, I'd like to mention the price point. I caught her free shipping deal in July of '16, which helped convince me, but the original price was usd 65. To me at least, this is an unusual specimine, and I'm sure at a reptile show at least, something like this could go for much much more. I wasn't specifically looking for this species, so the price is really what sold me on it. I didn't comparison shop, but it seemed like it was at least a price within reason, and I'm happy with it.Over all, I'm happy I got to buy a spider from Casey, and hopefully I'll be able to deal with her again</blockquote>
