Some people!!!!
I was hanging out with my friend today and we decided to check out the local pet store. In the reptile section they had a young texas tan tarantula (2" I suppose? Maybe a bit smaller) but the manager and one of the employees came out with a group of leopard geckos that were going to be put on display. We were awwing over the geckos and all as they were complaining there was no room to put the geckos. The manager suggested they just kill the spider since no one had bought it and it was an 'ugly brown thing'
After a bit of a rant to the manager the tarantula is now in my possession(free of charge btw! Since he was going to just kill it anyway)
So.. looks like I got my tarantula after all. At least temporarily! Nathan doesn't know yet.
I'm not sure how to sex it. I'll put some pictures up later tonight when I get a chance. It's SO cute. I also got a couple small roaches after my little argument with the owners(they were in the cage with the tarantula), so I have food for a little bit, or at least a snack for the frog if they end up growing too big for the spider.
