Mandy will be with me until she passes away, that's for sure. And to think, I was going to check out the spider they have for adoption at Petco to see if maybe I should take him tomorrow. They wanted $100 and he had nuerological issues. I was going to find out the extent tomorrow, but now I have my girl. The spider was beautiful, but you could tell he had issues - starting with a stuck shed and ending with being extremely wobbly
First off, congratulations on your new girl!

Please reconsider wanting the spider from Petco. The stuck shed just goes to show that they aren't concerned about proper conditions for their BPs, and BUYING him (this is not a rescue) only gives the company more money for more live animals to neglect. You can get a healthy spider male from a breeder for the same price.
