Researching and gaining knowledge is part of the fun of keeping tarantulas. Make sure you research the seller. There are a lot of good ones out there as well as some unscrupulous ones and some in between. Check for reviews here and elsewhere online. maybe go to a show, such as a reptile show, where often there are tarantula dealers just to get an idea of what is available. When buying online, unless you or someone else is going to pick up the tarantula, there will be shipping charges and many send tarantulas by FedEx overnight, which can cost $50 or so.</blockquote>
