    No they’re a not hard to get at all, they’re not one of the restricted species of Poecilotheria like the Ornata that I have. But yes they can be pricey, just depends on what breeder you get them from and what part of the world you’re in

    Actually, it's not "Goody" OR "goofy" Sapphire, but "Gooty Sapphire"...FYI, (Google says so, & also mentions they're "critically endangered" with populations decreasing- I'd guess that's probably due to over-collection for sale and/or maybe climate disruptions also in their India forest reserve locale)

    For anyone getting interested in these, we should probably note that their bite can be "medically significant" with intense pain & elevation of heart rate etc. While most bites don't effect the victim for longer than a week, some unlucky ones are said to still feel the effects after months. So these really aren't pets you want to handle...even if they've never killed anyone as far as is known.

    Lol I typed it as I was waking up at 3am and didn’t re-read it lol yes, habitat destruction is a huge focus as to why....but I argue that it’s the locale population of wild. I can only speculate that if it encompassed the captive bred and raised numbers that label would be removed and possibly moved to at least threatened.
