The word “snake” is your first clue.

Also, I guess that Kingsnake.com isn't what it used to be. That used to be the goto place for info forum wise and a good classifieds section.

Sounds wild caught.

Wouldn't that mean if it's wild caught that it is more likely to be a nic over a honduran?

Either variant could be wild caught. I mean they are unsure what they have. If the seller bred them they would know.

Why would someone go through the hassle of getting a T albo wild caught when there’s so many available in the hobby and their prices aren’t exactly desireable to be worth the hassle? As clown said more like just doesn’t know. We have a few sling albos that we just don’t know the locality of. I can assure you they aren’t wild caught

Never purchased from them. Alot of reptile
I doubt that...no money in importing them. I just did a deal a few months ago and got 50 Nicaraguan slings for $100/trade. Captive bred from a well known breeder. Basically i sell them for $5 each or give them away. Theres no money in that breed.

There are lots and lots of wc albopilosum where I live. Pet stores tack em on to their orders. Or breeders import them to diversify breeding stock. May be different in your neck of the woods
Plus we pay out the arse in Canada for tarantulas so when it costs $100 for a 3-4" albo there is definitely money there. Slings not so much. Dime a dozen lol.

Just shows the difference in prices in different countries. In the UK, people practically give albos away, yet you guys are stuck paying those sort of prices.

Sheesh! I only paid $20 for my 1 1/2 inch. Larger ones about that big are like $30-$40 at reptile shows.

Our prices are insane! And congrats on the T!
It just says curly hair. Nothing about wild caught. Surely it's cheaper to get a T from America and import it to Canada? Just shows a lack of intelligence to me
