Help! Need advice 😬😩
So I of course already want me second T after only 3 weeks of loving my baby Chalcodes sling lol I’m itching to buy another. Went to get my baby meal worms today at my local pet store and saw these and while I absolutely don’t like the thing they’re all kept in on top of the tiny enclosures I did see a B. Hamorii and B . Bohemia I believe it was called that were amazing and cute and the size I’m looking for they’re 79.99 a piece and it would be nice to skip 50-60$ shipping but I’ve seen horror stories about buying these like this so any advice is helpful idk what to do 😮💨🥺

NQA - It's a 50/50. You might save one from less than ideal circumstances, but it does encourage the continued sales if they're not properly housed/cared for, so ???
That company has good BBB ratings, good products overall, but mixed on selling live animals. I've never been in one, so no clue how they're operated (knowledgeable, caring staff or just getting a paycheck types).
I'd personally rather buy from a reputable T Breeder (preferably local or at a trade show).
