[QUOTE="pokie99, post: 41686, member: 3501"] One thing about pet stores: if you're lucky enough, you may make a good deal. Most pet stores have no idea what they're selling so you may find something on a much lower cost than from a dealer. That's how I got my sub - adult female G. pulchra for about $25. They had no idea of the species, gender and the difference between male and female. Probably someone who didn't want a tarantula anymore gave it to them. The bad thing was that it had a small wound on its abdomen but it molted successfully and now everything's ok. The thing you've got to watch out in the pet stores is the health, age of the T and the fact that it may be WC. You need to be experienced enough to know what you are looking for (but you can't know if it's WC). P.S. G. pulchras are more expensive now because their export from Brazil has been banned and the hobby now relies only on the captive population. [/QUOTE]
