Hi

I'm getting ready to buy 4 1/2"-1" Lasiodora parahybana spiderlings from http://exopets.com/ @ $5.00 a piece and was wondering if this is a good price and a reputable dealer? I'll be dropping a money order in the mail for $50.00 tomorrow since the shipping is $30.00, and was having a moment of anxiety. I've emailed Paul several times now and he seems like such a sweetheart, but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask.

I'm so excited BTW!!!!!!!!

I've never dealt with the company, but as for the species, what a great purchase! I've had a parahybana sling since December (also $5). It was about the size of a nickel when I bought it, and now its about 2.5 inches. They eat and grow like mad!

Enjoy.

Oooo yes, order some, too so we can go through the excitement together! (That sounded bad, but, whatever, lol ) Really though, that'd be so cool.

Thanks for the feedback, I'm forging ahead with this. I'm so excited, I know they are small... and have a long road ahead of them, but I just love raising animals from tiny babies until adulthood. And I have a fabulous track record with it, too... just ask some of my babies, LOL Hopefully these guys will do well, too.
