Popped into my local pet store today, they have quite an extensive reptile and invertibrate section. I always check out there stock, but usually it's the same stuff, Haplopelma, Pterinochilus a few Pokies and the odd common Brachypelma.
Today though ther was a brand new critter, pressed right up to the side of it's enclosure. It had fire red legs, a shade of red I have never seen before so I asked the sales assistant if I could have a look. It turned out to be Megaphobema robustum! The price tag was £60, and I was willing to buy it for that price. I had it bagged up and took it to the tills.
Unfortunately, on closer inspection (it was curled into quite a tight ball in it's original enclosure) it turned out to be a mature male
. I tried to haggle a cheaper price (my thought being I could send it out and get some youngsters back in return!) but they wouldn't budge. Anyone know of a supplier for this species?
