Thanks guys!!!! all good info....
what's the price range on a pretty young specimen (Grammostola Rosea)?
anyway of knowing its gender?
 
ok i have decided...im getting a Grammostola Rosea...thanks 4 the all info guys!!!!
By the way, my lfs had a mexican red knee (i think) and the price tag on it was like $300!!!!!:eek: is that about right? of course im not going to buy it right now as im starting out small... im just wondering if some species of tarantulas really go up for that much.....

The prices can go into the 1000's for rarer species.

I would use arachnoboards.com if you get one, they are great.
