So I dropped into my local Petco to get some cage furniture and the reptile guy started chatting. He got a spider out that he has had for 4 months. Says its a very placid animal and had never bitten. I held it for a while and he was fine (first time I held a snake, I was a bit jumpy). I took a few pics. The Pastel was very Bitey, so I wanted no part of that. I had no intention of buying from a pet store, but the guy said he/she feeds well. What do you think? Its something to consider. Is that a stuck shed on its back or missing scales?
