Most I've ever spent was $115 for my female L.parahybana as a 2" sexed juvinile and that was when i was only 3 Ts into the hobby and didn't know much. I've got a few adult/sub adult Ts that were $100 or less over the years but other then that everthing else was bought as slings and juviniles for around the $50 range, and I've got really lucky with that. My B.smithi(hamorii) and G.pulchra were $50 as 3/4" slings and both turned out to be female, and at least 10 others that I've got as slings are all female as well. My collection is definitely worth way more then i paid for it. So when buying slings the outcome is well worth the wait, even if they turn out to be male, you still get a few years in raising it and some can be pretty cool looking as well.</p></blockquote><p></p>
