Need some info

[Bast]

So a guy (pretty sure he's local since that's what I posted in my ad) responded to me saying he's sitting on aversi sac and an m.balfori sac. I told him that I was definitely interested in some versi slings when the time comes (YAY YAY YAY), but I don't really know much about m.balfouri.

I've read some conflicting information while perusing the net (shocking right?) in regards to temperament, some places say they are shy, reclusive and others say they are reclusive, defensive.

I see that they are webbers and have the potential to burrow (so close to the same requirements as the obt?), and only get to around 4". So, any of you have any other pertinent info you can give me on these awesome spiders? Are they hard to raise as slings?

I have a couple Balfouri. Pricey little guys. They're very skittish, and pretty reclusive. I don't see much more than the legs of mine.
They do; do well in a communal set-up so that's a positive. But I keep mine seperate. Gorgeous as Adults.

M. balfori= expensive pet hole.

 

[Nada]

pretty much, but if you can get em for $75 a pop or less its not a bad price.

 

[Bast]

Awesome! Thanks for the info guys I'll see what price the guy is asking, and if it's a good deal I may just pick one up; if not I'll maybe wait on this species. I do love to look at my T's

I'd get a bunch of versi's in place of paying for one M.balfori, just me tho..

[Bast]

If his prices are good I will definitely be getting a versi or two

11, was suppose to pick up some at a reptile show today, but the guy never got back to me about his list of Ts, so I didnt go.
Gonna be ordering around 10 more in the next couple weeks. Just gotta get the vials and smaller containers for the slings, and a juvenile arboreal enclosure... Been lazy

 

[harleyqueen]

That's a shame he never got back to you. Good luck with your new ones when they arrive .

 

[Bast]

Good luck bast I hope you get some nice slings.

Thanks! The guy doesn't live right in Calgary, but he says he comes in to the city a lot so he'd be able to meet here once they're ready to go Now I just gotta keep my fingers crossed that the sacs are good and the price is right hehe
