Hey so as some of you know, i am in the market for a true Theraphosa Blondi I am finding it really hard to find. I have found a few website that are selling Blondi's but they are wild caught imported from South America. I have read many times to stay away from wild caught tarantulas but i am starting to realize i am not going to have a choice. There are a few goliath Stirmi captive breeds, but i want an Blondi or an apophysis. if any of you guys can help me out to find a breeder or website that sells CB blondi's id appreciate it.
ALSO the main reason for starting this thread is i want to know if buying a wild caught T really is all that bad?
Do they really have that hard of a time acclimatising to a tank?
Do they have a difference in temperament and confidence? like do WC T's hide more often or will they explore like CB.
Do they differ in color/luster?
i know they are kinda rugged looking and have bald spots upon arrival, especially on their legs and body, but does this go away with a molt and end up looking like a CB??
What are some things i need to know specifically about buying a WC T?
I would really appreciate some feedback. I have searched the Forum and there are a few threads in the regard, however my questions are kind of specific and not all answered and i don't know if it applies to ALL tarantulas or if it varies from species to species specifically Theraphosa's. If you have ever or currently own a WC tarantula please let me know your experience!
Thank you!!
