The only one is an Usumbara that might be in a petstore.

If you are worried about seing the specimen, there is ways to set up your tank so the burrow makes the T Visible. As far as agressive T's that arent burrowers and would easily find in a pet store...

Why cant you order?

i donno.....just a bit scared on "doa" dead on arrival, even if they'll replace it that would still suck and a good T will die, any names that u can give me that i might be able to find in the pet store?

How about an Acanthoscurria Geniculata? They are stunning, get quite large, make GREAT display Ts, and are usually not very cuddly at all. They also have great appetites and grow rapidly.

Usembara baboons (P murinus) don't have to burrow you can keep them as aboreals which is what I do they spin huge webs to live in up off the ground. I have never seen P murinus dig a burrow it'self but will tahe to one if allready there. In most cases with murinus if left to it's self they prefer to spin big webs up off the ground.

My P. Murinus has dug its-self a hole (I wouldnt call it a burrow because its not too big....) but my does tend to keep its-self above ground in its huge web! their amazing T's and I would recommend them to anyone thats after an aggressive T,

Good luck!

Pet Store T's

Have you considered looking at online dealers instead of pet stores? You will find a plethora of species, info, and decent prices. If I may, suggest the following dealers:
1) www.spiderpatch.com
2) www.swiftinverts.com
3) www.tarantulaspiders.com
I have several "nasty" non-burrowers for sale, let me know!

I would suggest getting a Lasiodora parahybana. They are fairly common in pet stores. They get big, are always out in the open and wont run scared into the corner. IMO they are about halfway between really agressive and docile.

Lasiodora Parahybana

Yes, an L. parahybana would be an ideal T. Watch out for the urticating hairs!
