Watch After Pink Toe

Hello everyone I bought a Pink toed Tarantula back in the beginning of December and my Mom told me that I would not be able to bring it home. I am going to be in college until May so I was wondering if for the Summer if someone in the Middle GA area would be able to keep my spider. I know it sounds stupid but my parents are being strict even though I'm 20. Thanks for reading.

My two cents :)
1. Go with Arachnoclown offer, it is amazing. You have a professional breeder offering you to care for your Pink Toe. Your little one will pampered and spoiled. The shipping back and forth will cost you more than the cash value of your spider but this is when you have to decide if you love your criter or if it was just for entertainment.
2. I know it is frustrating that your parents won’t let you have the T when you are with them, but if you are under their roof and they are paying the bills it is their call. My son and I are collecting and have a lot of Ts and other critters but my wife’s name is also on the mortgage and she is paying half the bills so we have to respect her choice and only have a bearded dragon, a praying mantis, 3 scorpions and a tarantula in the house (in my son’s room) and 97 more Ts in our detached garage :D

It is all about compromise, you are very lucky Arachnoclown made you a very generous offer, jump on it. Work hard in school and soon enough you’ll have a nice job and your own place where you’ll be able to extend your 8 legged family.

Cheers.

Thank you! How would I ship the spider without it getting jumbled around in the mail?
This guy has a pretty good video on how to pack tarantulas. I can send you all the supplies to ship it.

Hopefully you can find someone locally to watch it. Shipping will be kinda expensive...your looking at around $100 round trip.
