Hey you guys sorry I haven't been up here I'm in college so I have classes and lots and lots of homework lol! But I wanted advice on continuing my hobby and I want to become more experienced so I was wondering if the baboon species was the way to go they are very pretty and I love their webbing and also what is a good burrowing tarantula I actually love pet holes lol and I think the burrows they build are so intriguing

I have a G. Pulchripes, Avicularia Urticans, P. Metallica and a P. Regalis
Ah, ok now I can make recommendations:

Harpactira Sp.
Ceratogyrus Sp.
Eucratoscelus pachypus

Here are what I am raising:

Harpactira dictator (x2) (both fresh off being mated)

Omg they are soooooo beautiful I want them lol how much does this species usually sell for?
It varies from seller to seller. I paid I think $300 for all three. It is very hard to come by E. pachypus slings and males for that matter. H. dictator are uncommon in any stage. @Austin S. would know more on the subject of pricing. As far as other Harpactira Sp. I can't say, again @Austin S. would know more. All I know H. pulchripes are expensive as slings. Ceratogyrus Sp. don't seem too expensive, I think I've seen C. darlingi slings for $30 or less

He has a few for sale ads in the classifieds, Here is one of them:

https://tarantulaforum.com/threads/updated-list-pairs-females-slings-wholesale.21598/#post-126111

Here is his review thread, only four right now, if you are familiar with ab, he has multiple pages worth of reviews:

https://tarantulaforum.com/threads/austin-s.10235/

I don't think he has anymore specimens similar to the three I pictured, the price estimates I made were based off of dealer sites (like swiftsinverts, jamiestarantulas, netbug, etc.... And other ads from other members of this forum and ab.

Regalia that I need so I can breed my femAle and I wanted to know if anybody ordered from them before I do because I don't want to be ripped off because it has happen to me before and I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau so if you haven't ordered from them but you know somebody who has please let me know

NOOO!!!!!!! They are the worst place to even consider ordering from. I have never ordered from them nor will I. I'd sooner give my money to the GOP, before I would backwater (AKA slackwater reptiles), the reviews they have were supposedly written by the owner to draw in people, who don't know any better. They are drop shippers from what I hear, in other words they do not have the actual animal that they are advertising, they have shipped dead and dying animals, wrong genders, mature males as unsexed, wrong species, let's see what else have they done.....hmmmm, when asking for a refund they all of a sudden go mia. Drop me a PM and I will send you some links to reliable sites.

Click on a members name, a box will appear showing the members details (post count etc...), it will give options to follow, unfollow (you are following me I believe), start conversation (this is the one you want), etc...
