Okay, so I am going to go off on a rant for a minute here.
Two of my local pet shops sell lots of tarantulas. They say they have people who are "reptile and arachnid people" to answer questions on them but they have no idea what they are talking about. Also, at both of these pet shops, they sell Old World tarantulas.
First of all.. What the hell?! If you can't even get your **** straight to be selling simple New Worlds, then what makes them think it is at all okay to be selling Old Worlds?! I have seen things such as Pokies, OBTs and Stout Leg baboons for sale at both of these.
Second of all, people go in there and want spiders just to show off to their friends while they are drunk. So un-educated bull****ters are going to be going in there wanting a spider and picking out the brightest prettiest ones in there not knowing **** about them. They are going to end up getting bit, hurting themselves, and or the tarantula. So that again pisses me off.
And the guy selling them had care sheets for these more "abnormal" species to give to the people who buy them.
Sorry but if you think they need a care sheet, then obviously they don't know what they are doing enough to be owning these species.
I believe that you should only be able to get these species at expos. If you are educated enough to be getting them then you are educated enough to know you shouldn't be getting them from a damn pet store who is gonna end up killing them and or selling them to uneducated asssholes who have no business owning them.
ERGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!
Anyone else see this happening around them?!
They should do background checks to see you are capable of caring for them lol
