At the moment yes they are hard to get. But wait till mid spring and I bet there will be more egg sacs and that means more young for sale. From last year to this year the price took a nice nose dive, although they won't get much cheaper then 100-150 for a small sling I don't think.

*sigh* mine always just looks blackish, even at 4". I think it must be my horrible lighting. :(

Maybe you got the black morph. Those are really nice too.

Mine stays very blue until they are about to molt. Then they are brownish.
