help needed

Hi all,
Just got a huge salmon pink so I have to let my smaller one go.........want to get a king baboon but have to keep Mrs. sweet with the number of spids I have.
What sort of price does the smaller one (first one ) go for?It has just shed and is looking sweet.
paul
small one followed by the monster

As its unsexed and I've seen a few AF's recently for around £30-£40 I belive I'd say around £20 or so + postage would be a good price to sell.

sounds good...thanks

Your welcome Paul

yeah was gonna say roughly 20 odd quid...but you may do better. that's a nice specimen!
the obvious docility is a selling point, some can be right skittish so-and-so's!
although saying that, they have a reputation for changing their personalities from moult to moult

Keep both?

and get rid of the Mrs lol

thats an idea
here is a better piccy of the bigun.
Have to play fair with the Mrs.....she hates spiders and so far I have 7 t's and an emp....all in the last 3 weeks.......need a king baboon so the little one has to go
this one is as tame as the smaller one too

I don't understand why you bought the new one or 'have' to get a C.Crawshayi at the expense of the L.Para you have now?

beacuse I have one L.Para now.....and want something different.....can't see the point of having 2.......I only have 4 P.Fasciata because they were communal and living together when bought at the BTS
Because snakes are my main thing......and I am limited to the number of spids I can get....would rather have different T's.#
Also....you say at the expense of the L.Para......but it will only be going to a good home.....otherwise I will keep it.

Why did you buy the new one?

The expense means, buying it for it to be sold off in a short space of time.

Me and many many people I know have a lot more than 1 spider of a certain sp, plenty of point if you like em, are looking at potentially breeding in the future etc.

At some time in the future....I would love to get into breeding but......with all the time I spend on the mutt......snakes......and everyday life....time is limited....
I bought the new one because it is huge.....always wanted a very big spider since I was a kid....got one now
paul
ps....I don't understand what you mean by this...

The one you have would get as large as the one you have now, given time.

That you bought it and are getting rid of it in a short period of time because you have something new.

I agree....
I will probably end up keeping it....it is a better looking spid than the big one....thats for sure.
Just have to think where I could hide a king b. in the house without the mrs. sussing me out

Thats the great thing about Crawshayi, it will just look like a tub of mud, they are prolific burrowers and will spend nearly all their time in the burrow.

very true......be ok as long as she don't open the tub of "mud" to see what's in there because those things will make my pokies look like angels
paul

Pet hole city lol

Have a large exo for an adult king b. but what is the smallest glass viv I could get a juvy king in...the one I am looking at id 3-4 inch legspan.....the pet shop want £50 for it.....is that ok or a bit steep
paul

thats a bit pricey if you ask me. I wouldn't buy anything from a pet shop neither.

you don't see may kings around though...this is the first one I have seen...been looking for s few weeks as well
paul

your not looking in the right places. they are about on the net and cheaper than £50

can you give some pionters please....checked all the forums I know and nothing.....al I have seen is an orange bitey thing......don't really fancy one of those

virginia cheeseman has small ones for 15 and large for 25

thank you
paul
