I went and picked up my Holothere Incei today frm Virginia Cheeseman. Beautiful little spider it is too! Very happy with it.

On the route back we stopped at our normal shop as we needed some supplies for other pets. I saw they had a Grammostola spiderling with the word 'Chaco' written on the top for £9.99 so i bought it. Will get some pics hopefully in the next couple of days

Yeah i'm hoping it IS a G.Pulchripes.

£9.99 is a bit cheap for these right? For some reason i thought they were a bit rare and should be more pricey?

Although the sling IS about 1cm :P

Well, I paid £16 (plus p+p) for a 3" specimen which is possibly female (althought the seller needed a quick sale). But I'm not really sure of their value to be honest.

Still either way it was less than a tenner and they are LOVELY spiders! You will love it when the gold starts coming through on the knees!

Just thought actually, for a pet shop price thats probably about right...they do tend to charge more than breeders/private sellers. But as said above, by the time you pay postage to a breeder/private seller you would probably pay near on a tenner anyway.

Good luck with the H incei. They are lovely little spiders and can knock up some great webs too.

I got 3 as freebies when buying a sub-adult T from a Rfuk member. Then when I thought I would buy some more for my friend, I got 5 for £10. So kept couple for myself and gave my friend the others

I have 5 little chaco slings, there lovely little things
