1) Two young adult Tlitocatl vagans females - both are exceptional proven breeders - $700 (for both girls).
These girls are by far the most fertile I have ever worked with. T. vagans #5 is her first year breeding, and T vagans #2 is her second year. T vagans #5 produced 909 slings this month; and T vagans #2 produced another large egg sac on 6-11-20. Last year she produced 1215 slings and expect at least that this year from the size of her sac. For comparison my average sling count with previous breeding projects with T. vagans was around 300 – these two girls produce the same number of slings on average that a group of seven female T. vagans can.
For those interested in getting into breeding to support their addiction to this hobby, this is a great species for a novice breeder - they are easy to care for, long lived, easy to breed compared to other species, and males are easy and cheap to find when you’re ready to breed.
FYI: I usually wholesaling my slings for a $1 apiece. When wholesaling, other than having to count them out, the buyer pays for shipping (in one single bulk container), so no hassle of individually housing them before selling. Over the past year, between these two girls, I’ve made $2100 and will collect around $1200 more next month when the last sac matures to 2i.
