US Wanted: Phrixotrichus scrofa

[Bananahead]

Hi all,

As the title states, have been looking for one of these guys (or girls) forever with no luck.

I'd be interested in slings or juveniles or AF.

Thanks!

I did spot one for sale at https://backwaterreptiles.com/tarantulas/chilean-copper-tarantula-for-sale.html under the old name but I don't think they have a very good reputation.

Thanks for looking! I saw that too but it looks to be out of stock, and backwater gets awful reviews

 

[Bananahead]

Bump - if you are looking to sell or know of any for sale.

Thanks!

I have used them once a year ago. They ship with loose substrate. The 2 I purchased from them are alive and well.

I got my Hamorii female from them before I knew better. two years later and she's doing great, but she had a rough ride to me and was packed horribly. She was stressed out of their mind too
