[QUOTE="MassExodus, post: 52623, member: 4086"] I've gotten a few from pet stores, never had an issue. That said, I've gotten a whole lot from forum classifieds and independent sellers/breeders. I like to think it helps our hobby out the most to buy from one of these guys. The best deals I've gotten have been from individuals on forum classifieds, but you'll find the best selection from the big online dealers, like Swifts and netbug and Kenthebugguy. All of these are likely a much better place to buy spiders, because they're captive bred most of the time, and it supports the hobby, and the people involved in it. But you can still have a good experience in a pet store, mostly mom and pop places, but the big stores like petco and petsmart sometimes have decent care for them, if not ideal..just depends on the person working in the reptile department. They're not all idiots, and some will even listen and change their care habits if you talk with them. I'm glad you're going back for the hurt Avic, Good luck ! [/QUOTE]
