Default How much would you expect to pay?

I got my salmon pink birdeater sling yesterday for 4pound. At the moment none of my shops do the goliath birdeater or pinktoe goliath slings. Only one shop can get a pinktoe goliath, and its 100pound for a grown on one.
What can i expect to pay for a sling of either of these species?

Could you also get hold of a salmon pink birdeater sling? My sis wants one and they only had one in store yesterday.
Where would you get them? Do you live far from me?

I bought my goliath sling for £30, but that was from a pet shop. He'd have been about 2-3cm at the time.

Yeah, a Goliath Birdeater (Theraposa Blondi (sp?))

It seems a lot, but they aren't that common, and sell for £100+ as adults.

You'd prob be looking at £25 from somewhere on the net.

I had mine from Webs & Legs in Bristol

Lee at the spidershop had pink toe goliaths (not blondi, Theraphosa apophysis) for about £30 a spiderling i think?

Definately don't pay petshop prices!

I do believe the pink foot goliath (Theraphosa apophysis) is quite rare. Think lee has some good prices.

Theraphosa blondi is little less rare, i think aqlot of people have them, but not many around for sale at the moment.
