Man that sucks. It's been almost 2 years since I've bought any reptiles there, they've definitely gone downhill over the years. I did stop by once a while back (as they are the only ones near me that I know of with live rat pinks-pups) and I saw that spider as well. I'm glad I didn't get him

I have heard Brian state his dislike for popping which I find quite odd. For females I always pop first, and then probe to confirm to avoid situations like this.
