23 and just ordered 5 more
I've gotten all 14 of my T's, as well as my two snakes, from the same pet store. I bought what they told me was a t.blondi but ended up being a t.stirmi. The differences between them is kind of obvious once you know what you're looking for, which makes me wonder how much research these pet-stores put into selling live animals.Same here in South Africa, some try and pass off Theraposa stirmi as Theraposa Blondi.
Not much. Most of the pet industry trades using common names from importers and dealers. They usually are not qualified to keep them or make recommendations on care. I worked in that industry for a short while and people would be amazed at what goes on behind the curtains. Glad you have had some success with pet stores and were able to rescue 14!I've gotten all 14 of my T's, as well as my two snakes, from the same pet store.
