    all depends on there size .. usually babies are $200-$300 and females that are able to breed can be $300-$500+ .. from what i have seen

    $300-$500 for a breedable female Spider would be a ridiculously great deal. More realistically I'd be prepared to spend $1100 on a breeding sized female, and between $1500 and $2000 for a proven girl, depending on the quality, size, and clutch sizes of the snake. Good luck with whatever you do!

    Cheers,
    -Matt

    I have proven breeder Spider females that I would be willing to sell for $5000 each. They are just too valuable to sell for less.Just think of what I can make if I brred my Sterling male to a female Spider that produces 10 eggs. However, as others have stated, I would expect to pay at least $1000 from someone that is actually interested in selling one.

    p.s. I don't generally rant, but I can't believe the prices I have seen on proven breeder females. The potential to make more than their price from a well selected breeding just makes it seem like a bad business decision sometimes.

    I would bet they both are actually males.

    Could you PM me the phone numbers of these stores.

    I can make a ton of money off those girls.

    Don't disappoint me now. Even if they've been suddenly "sold" I'd still like to be on the waiting list for the next big spider girl to come in. If TWO pet stores have them now, there is no doubt in my mind that they will have more in the very near future.

    Unless it's all a lie.

    Well I'm not saying anyone's lying here, but I too would like to know who's selling breeder morph females for that price. I'm in Massachusetts as well and have never seen any kind of deal like that. I mean, NERD is right next door to us here in Massachusetts, I can't imagine Spiders just being less popular here than anywhere else. This isn't meant to be accusatory though in any way. Would you be willing to provide me the names/addresses of these stores, I'd love to check them out--if not to buy something just to see what they're offering for how much.

    Cheers,
    -Matt

    Really? Where in MA are you? I'll go buy her tonight ... :rofl:

    Seriously, not trying to be snarky at all, but I'm genuinely curious what pet store are you referring to ..? I know of a lot of "reptile only" pet stores in RI and a couple of big breeders in NH, but I haven't seen any pet stores in MA yet that have morphs on the shelves other than a few pastels ... I'd be curious to visit, even if they don't have $300 breed-able female spiders. ;)

    Someone on here is not going to let a breedable weight female go for less than $1200.

    Thanks for posting this. I'll be curious to check both those places out when I get a chance. I like going to reptile specialty stores; they usually don't have much beyond the standard fare, but it's always at least interesting to look ...

    For anyone sitting on the edge of their seats with curiosity ... I did call Animal Instincts and they said that they did have two spiders, for $399 and $499 ... Both males. ;) If the one that the other store had was really a giant female for that price, it'd be no wonder it went so fast ..! I don't think it's too crazy to envision someone paying $400 for a breed-able male spider, either, though, especially from a local store and with breeding season getting into gear ...

    So don't worry, the value of adult females hasn't deteriorated that much in the past week or so :P

    Yeah, the shop names are much appreciated. They're about as far away within the state as they could be from me, haha. I'm Northwest Mass, both shops are Southeast Mass. Maybe next time I head to Boston I'll head down to the shops and take the long way back home. Reviews online for one of them are kind of scary bad though, haha. Thanks again!

    Cheers,

    I feel like there's a disproportionately large number of reptile specialty shops within that general 50 mile radius or so, in the SE MA/RI area. I can name several in RI and now those two in that area ... I dunno why though.

    Re: Female breeder spider bps
    yea to my understanding they were both suppose to be females from what i was told by the employee .... so obviously he didnt know his stuff .. sorry for the confusion everyone its no wonder why he wouldnt let me pop it .. typical pet store trying to make a buck and sale taking advantage of the economy ... yea i wouldnt buy pets from either one all my snakes have come from breeders .. the only thing i buy from either of them is my feeders .... well the good news is that i am getting that spider come to find out i seen an add on craigslist so i responded and the ones in animal instincts were actually the guys he was having the store try to sell them for him so i got the male spider and a pastel both for $200 so i hopped on that ill have them tomorrow ill post some pics when i can
