Pet Store T Blondie Help!

[david200mph]

Alright i am having one of those moments right now. Only a beginner T collector staring at a T Blondi at a pet store in orange co. Been watching it for 3 weeks. Checking her out and seems like it has lost most of if not all of its smallest bristles on 4 forward legs. About a week ago i noticed some bugs crawling around the water dih. The kid here tells me that the smallest brown bristles are gone because its about to molt. Is this true?
Someone stop me cause im about to rescue a T Blondi.

A few questions:

How much are they charging for said T. blondi?

The picture is a little fuzzy so really hard to i.d.

As most avid collectors know, the T. blondi is getting to be extremely rare. Most blondi's that are advertised in pet shops are actually stermi's. Nothing wrong with that but going back to point A, make sure you are getting what you pay for.

The pet store has it listed as a Haitan Goliath Birdeater. Seems to match the pics in Schultz Keepers Guide i just purchased. They have it listed for $44.99
Im just a newbe but watching it for a while, looks like its gonna get big.

At $44.99, I am betting it is not a blondi. If I am wrong, you win big! Not a bad price even for a stermi. Resuce that poor thing.

That pic looks like a Phormictopus can cancerides (Haitian). Good species to own.
