That's what I thought. When we went to buy the red tail the guy had the amazon there and right out said its a mean buggar. My bf thinks this thing is going to look like a green tree and I am trying to tell him its not the same thing at all. At least once I tell him he cant hold he wont want it. I dont want one any way. He thinks all animals (even the tarantula i wanted to get but held off on) are meant to be held. Hes stuborn to but im putting mu foot down and he's not walking out with one....IF he listens to me and the seller that is.
