In the T community we use scientific names like in this community so I think you mean Aphonopelma seemmani.

I do mean A seemanni and the only reason I said stripe knee is because I felt lazy. I will be selling them in my shop around April. I’m thinking of other deals and I plan on selling more Ts like Pokies and baboons in the future. Poecilotheria for you non T keepers. Also there are many genus of baboons. Maybe a M. Balfouri for $20 a sling.

That sounds like a fair deal. How big will they be?

Probably small quarter to half inch slings and I will sell them till they are adults and are able to be bred. I will definitely be breeding them myself but will probably have my cousin help once I get a website and enough clients.

You’ll need a breeding loan unless they are unrelated slings.

Are you experienced with old worlds? I mean, I'm not one to talk, my second T was a C. darlingi, but she wasn't super aggressive or fast or anything.
